Create Candidate Rating Template

Security: Set Up: Rating domain in these functional areas:
  • Recruiting
  • Talent Pipeline
Create candidate rating templates to define how Workday calculates ratings for candidates on a job requisition or evergreen requisition.
  1. Access the
    Create Candidate Rating Template
    task.
  2. As you complete the
    Rating Criteria
    grid, consider:
    Option Description
    Rating Field
    Select the fields that you want to use as the criteria to rate candidates.
    Rating Field Score Mapping
    Select the rating data mapping that determines how candidates are scored.
    This prompt displays once you select a rating field.
    Weight
    Enter a number that determines the importance of the rating field when Workday calculates candidate ratings. The total weight from all rows must be less than or equal to 100.
  3. If you need to create a rating data mapping for a rating field, access the
    Create Rating Data Mapping
    task from the
    Rating Field Score Mapping
    prompt.
  4. Configure the rating data mapping by selecting or entering the rating field values and assigning a score to each row.
This example illustrates how you can configure a candidate rating template with
Degrees
and
Candidate City
as the rating fields:
Rating Criteria

Candidate City
60
Rating Data Mapping
Rating Field Score Mapping
Rating Field Value: Score
Degrees Score Mapping
PhD: 100 (maximum score)
M.S.: 90
B.S.: 80
Candidate City Score Mapping
Atlanta: 100 (maximum score)
Dublin: 80
If a candidate lists Atlanta as their city and B.S. as their degree on their application, their total score based on this template configuration will be:
  • Location: (100/100) x 60 = 60
  • Degree (80/100) x 40 = 32
  • Total Candidate Rating: (60 + 32) = 92
Assign the candidate rating template to a job requisition or evergreen requisition.
