Working with applicants in Atlas

With Atlas, you'll never have to wade through hundreds of applicants ever again. Atlas triages applicants automatically and grades them based on their fit to a job description.

Atlas treats applicants as wholly separate from your database. They will never be added to your database unless you specifically approve the application and bring them into your project.

This way we can triage all your applicants at scale without degrading your database.

Setting up applicants

The applicants tab sits under the sourcing main menu. Atlas can receive applicants in numerous ways

  1. Via manual upload of resumes

  2. Multi-posting will be availabe soon via third party integrations

Setting up scoring criteria

If you have a job description, Atlas is able to turn your job description into a set of crtieria which are split between required, preferred and nice to have. As the image above demonstrates, it will proimpt you to generate criteria

You can see the criteria by clicking on the criteria tab where you can add, remove and edit criteria to get as close as you need.

How does criteria scoring work

Atlas understands two types of criteria.

  1. Criteria based on the person who's applied ("Has experience with ReactJS")

  2. Criteria based on the companies they have worked for ("Experience at a Series A business")

Atlas will conduct internet research where necessary to ensure that it is appropriately ranking your applicants.

Simple scoring

Atlas will automatically extract basic elements of the profile and provide two quick matching criteria

  1. Does their role match? (eg, has a project manager applied for a sales role)

  2. Does their location match

You can dive deeper into the match criteria by clicking on a row, but the high level match score is available on the list view.

Here you can see

  1. The rationale behind each criteria score

  2. You can add your own grade

  3. You can provide some notes

  4. And you can action the candidate

You can also action the candidates from the list view by hovering over the row you want to action
