Online Applications - New Applicant Process

The basic online application process for a new applicant is as follows:

The steps in the following process may differ based on how system administrators configure the Pangea system to meet the specific needs of your business or organization.

1. The human resources associate does one of the following, depending on the organization's setup:
• Sends an e-mail invitation to the applicant from the Applicant dashboard. The e-mail invitation includes a direct URL to the specific online application of the job opening for which the applicant indicates interest.
• Sends an e-mail invitation to the applicant using their system-external e-mail account. The e-mail includes the URL to the Welcome page of the Online Application interface.
2. The applicant navigates to the Online Application and does one of the following depending on the method by which the applicant accesses the applicant portal:
• If the human resources associate sends an application invitation to the applicant from the Applicant dashboard, the applicant clicks the hyperlink from the e-mail to navigate to the applicant portal and then creates an applicant portal login account.
• If the human resources associate sends the application invitation from their system-external e-mail account, or if the applicant simply navigates to the Welcome page of the applicant dashboard, the applicant selects a job opening and then creates an applicant portal login account.
• If the applicant accesses the applicant portal from a third-party job posting site, the applicant navigates to the applicant portal and then creates an applicant portal login account.
3. If the Resume Upload functionality is available for the Online Application portal, the applicant can either upload and confirm a resume or skip the resume upload process.
4. The applicant begins the form completion phase of the online application process by working to fill out and complete the sequential online application forms. Applicants can optionally save their progress and exit the system if they cannot complete all application forms at one time, or they can cancel the application process and end their system session.
5. The applicant reviews the application, provides their electronic signature, and then submits their completed application to begin the hiring process. The applicant’s data from the online application passes through the Pangea system to the Applicant dashboard.
6. The human resources associate uses the Applicant dashboard to review the online application and perform hiring actions.
