Applicant tracking portal for small hiring teams

An applicant tracking portal is where candidates apply through a public form, recruiters move each one through interview stages on a board, and interviewers file their scores on the candidate's record.

Pattern: Requests

Describe it to Pory

“We're hiring for a few roles. Candidates should apply on a public page, recruiters move them through screening and interviews, and each interviewer adds a score and notes.”

How Pory sets it up

Pory gives every recruiter and interviewer a sign-in of their own. It covers applications & interview stages. Candidates, interviews, scorecards, open roles and hiring team live in Pory's own database, so there's no spreadsheet to keep in sync.

What it does

01

Candidates apply on a public page with their resume attached

Applications came in through a jobs inbox, LinkedIn messages and the occasional resume handed to the front desk. In Pory candidates fill in one public form, with the role, their email, why they want it and their resume, without making an account. Each application lands in the Applied column, and nobody forwards resumes around with "thoughts?" anymore.

02

Recruiters drag candidates from phone screen to offer on one board

Knowing who was at which stage meant a spreadsheet with color-coded rows and a recruiter's memory for the rest. In Pory each candidate is a card in Applied, Phone screen, Interview, Offer, Hired or Rejected, and the recruiter drags it along after each conversation. Hiring managers stop asking where their shortlist stands.

Board by statusDone by: Recruiter
03

Interviewers log a score and notes on the candidate, not in Slack

Interview feedback trickled in by Slack message days later, if at all, and half of it was "seemed good". In Pory each interviewer sees the candidates assigned to them and files a scorecard with a score from 1 to 5, a recommendation and notes, linked to the candidate. The recruiter opens the candidate and reads each scorecard in one place.
