When a new application is received, the candidate is marked in pink, indicating that they have not been assessed yet. Once their application is opened, the colour changes to blue. However, this system only works if there is one person scoring candidates. In situations where the scoring panel consists of two or more people, when one person accesses the new candidates, the colour changes for all members. Other scoring members are unable to view which candidates they have scored. The colour should only change for the person who opens the files, while remaining unchanged for others until they also open the applicant's files.
| Describe the Challenge | Efficiency: By colour-coding new applications, the system streamlines the process by clearly indicating which candidates have not yet been assessed. This helps users prioritise their workflow efficiently. Clarity: The colour changes from pink to blue provide clear visual cues to users, reducing confusion and ensuring that everyone involved in the hiring process understands the status of each candidate. Transparency: The colour-coded system promotes transparency by indicating when an application has been opened and assessed. This transparency fosters trust among team members and ensures accountability in the hiring process. Fairness: By only changing the colour for the person who opens the files, the system aims to maintain fairness among scoring panel members. User Experience: The colour-coded system enhances the overall user experience by simplifying the tracking of candidate assessments. It reduces cognitive load and makes it easier for users to navigate through the hiring process. Overall, these benefits contribute to a more organised, transparent, and fair hiring process, ultimately improving the effectiveness of recruitment efforts. |
