4. Creating a job #
Clicking on the ‘Job’ button will take you to a page where you can create/delete/edit jobs.
To create a job, you must fill in the relevant information, select a Station and write a job description.
The job can also be assigned to a specific HR, Payroll and Station Manager.
5. Publishing the job #
After a job has been created, the HR Manager to whom it was assigned, can review and publish it.
Once the job is published, it will be posted and will be visible on the Career Portal. Additionally, a link for the published job will become available to be shared on other job websites.
6. Targets and Projections #
The Amazing Drivers’ forte lies in a feature called ‘Manage Target’. This feature enables setting hiring targets for specific jobs at a station. This feature can be accessed on the Dashboard via the target icon at the top right of every job overview panel.
It allows you to manually set the number of processing days required for each stage in the hiring process and also establish the conversion rate from one stage to the next.
Additionally, it prompts for inputs such as the number of drivers needed, the current rate of driver turnover, and the status of routes and drivers, to aid in determining the target days for the hiring process.
The ‘Projections for Target’ pane provides an accurate hiring forecast using the input data. This allows you to plan and hire accordingly. The Application Hiring Average Time and Pull Through Rates For Each Stage can be initially set from ‘Settings’.
7. Set up a job redirect function on Indeed #
Jobs posted on the Career Portal can be linked to Indeed via the “Apply URL” option. This allows the company to post jobs directly on Indeed and have job seekers redirected to the Application Form they created on the ATS. Guidelines to implement the “Apply URL” option on Indeed can be found in the documentation provided here.
Additionally, it prompts for inputs such as the number of drivers needed, the current rate of driver turnover, and the status of routes and drivers, to aid in determining the target days for the hiring process.
8. Posting the job on other job portals #
You may be able to find job posting capabilities on other platforms similar to that of Indeed. This way you can utilize multiple job boards to bring in a higher number of applications.
It is also possible to use platforms such as LinkedIn. You may copy the link to the Application Form from the ATS and publish it on the platform.
9. Making the most of your Dashboard #
Once applications begin to pour in via the Application Form, your Dashboard will become active and reflect real-time hiring data.
Your Amazing Drivers Dashboard is divided into 3 parts for a quick overview of the company’s hiring operations:
- 9.1 The top fold provides high-level hiring and applications data for the selected Station.
- 9.2 The second fold delves into details of the applications coming in for jobs that were published against the selected Station.
- 9.3 The remaining sections list all the published jobs individually and provides an overview of their performance.
