PeopleMatter: Quick Apply

Yes, when a Quick Apply application is completed, PeopleMatter automatically emails the applicant a link to the full application, requesting completion. Managers can also send a Request for Full Application to any applicants via the Manager Dashboard (beta). 

Applicants are able to schedule interviews as a part of the Quick Apply process. This flow allows the applicant to take advantage of 1-click and schedule an interview quickly before completing the full application, preventing unwanted applicant drop-offs. 

By default, applications only include Name, Phone Number, Email Address, and Address when provided by the applicant. Quick Apply questions allow you to add some relevant questions for managers to screen applicants for the position. We strongly encourage you to limit it to 3-5 questions per posting to ensure you don’t lose the benefit of Quick Apply.   

Quick Apply Knockout questions prevent applications from coming in for applicants who are ineligible to hire. For example, if an employee must be 16 to work at your organization you can set up a Knockout question to prevent managers from receiving applications from anyone under 16.   

Questions are managed under Settings> Application Questions. Here you can add, modify and remove questions for your Quick Apply applications.

You will see two settings, use in quick apply and quick apply knockout question. These settings should be used to assign your questions accordingly.

Applications coming from Indeed will be sent via Indeed’s 1-Click Apply, will not include all of the questions in your standard application.  Applications will include Name, Phone Number, Email Address, and Address when provided by the applicant. Additionally, we will automatically include all General Question Types with True/False formatting, Multi Choice formatting, and Qualification question types. You can easily identify applicants who have applied via 1-Click Apply as they will have a Quick Apply tag in the Applicant List (beta).

Note that if you require a full application to hire, you will need to have the full application completed before you can change an applicant to a candidate.

By default, you will only get contact information (name, phone number, email, and address) for applicants from Indeed 1-Click Apply. To ensure managers have substantial information to evaluate, we have automatically added some questions to the Indeed application. You can go into your settings at any time to remove some or all of these questions from inclusion; however, we encourage you to leave some questions on to help frontline hiring managers with their initial screening process. You can also add new questions specifically for Quick Apply. 

No, to minimize drop off and increase app flow, Indeed is pushing ATS’ to 1-Click Apply. All applications sent to Indeed will be sent leveraging 1-Click Apply. However, we understand the importance of a full application. After applicants complete the 1-Click Apply process, they’ll receive an email requesting they complete your standard application. Managers will also be able to send this same request manually. And finally, PeopleMatter will have a new setting prohibiting hiring an employee until the full application is completed. 

These are all names different job boards use to describe a fast application process where users can register and apply. Indeed refers to it as 1-Click or Indeed Apply whereas Snagajob refers to it as Easy Apply. Because applications will come in from multiple job boards, we decided on the name of “Quick Apply” to represent an application in PeopleMatter that was sent via one of these methods and did not go through the standard, complete application. 

Under the Jobs and Locations/Units/Stores page, the are “Send to Indeed” checkboxes. When selected, postings will be sent to Indeed with 1-Click Apply enabled. All applications from these postings will seamlessly flow into PeopleMatter with a Quick Apply label.
