Example: Set Up a HiredScore Open Tasks Template

This example illustrates:
  • How to configure the template for the Open Tasks message that is triggered by the Hiring Manager Talent Advisor Collaborator (also known as HMTAC or the HM-TA Collaborator) functionality in Microsoft Teams.
  • The impact of this configuration in MS Teams.
Your organization uses the HMTAC functionality to facilitate team communication about specific requisitions. It triggers the sending of messages in MS Teams at various stages throughout the process. You want to customize the Open Tasks message template, which prompts the hiring manager to review their open tasks across different hiring phases, such as new candidates to screen, assessments to review, or candidates awaiting interview.
The contents of the Open Tasks message updates in real time (without sending a new Open Tasks message) as the status of each candidate changes.
Customization needs to include:
  • A schedule that triggers the message according to preferences. Example: Every Monday and Wednesday at 09:00AM.
  • An introductory sentence.
  • The specific job application steps in each phase that must be flagged in the message.
  • A short description of each job application step.
  • A button label that prompts an action for the hiring manager.
After configuration is complete, the message should display as follows in MS Teams:
Your implementer must complete the steps to configure and authenticate the HiredScore and MS Teams integrations in Workday.
Changes submitted on this tab impact your account's configuration in HiredScore and existing configurations (including custom rules or filters) are overridden. Changes can take up to 30 minutes to display in the HiredScore UI. In some cases, this may take longer.
