and strategic human resources function – one that drives companies to succeed.
Product Overview
CE is 100% web based software and requires only an internet connection and a standard browser for
access. Below are a few more details about the Vurv technology.
DATABASE
The Vurv database is a collection of candidate, recruiter, and company data organized and arranged
for reliable storage and recall. This SQL database supports hundreds of thousands of records without
losing data and/or suffering performance degradation.
SEARCHING
Vurv understands that recruiters have different search styles. With this in mind, we provide an
assortment of search tools from the basic quick search, to the powerful and comprehensive advanced
search. Advanced searching includes Engenium’s Semetric, a conceptual search engine capable of
finding highly relevant documents regardless of structure, content, or length. These unique and robust
queries move far beyond simple keyword queries by inferring the meaning of words based on the
context in which they are used. Not only are conceptual relationships measured between words, but
also the theme of an entire document is considered to return the most relevant matches available - all
with very little effort on the user’s end.

PRODUCTIVITY SOFTWARE
Vurv software provides personal planners, to-do lists, forecasts, and reports that allow users to focus
more energy on the acquisition of qualified candidates.
S y s t e m R e q u i r e m e n ts
Vurv Technology uses the Internet to transfer user information through pages created with Cold Fusion
MX. Several factors may influence the speed and delivery of this information to the end user.
NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY ONE APPLICATION SESSION
BE ACTIVE AT A TIME.
COOKIE SETTINGS
A cookie is a collection of information, usually including a username and the current date and time,
stored on a computer used mainly by websites to identify recurring users. An important factor when
accessing the Vurv Technology site is to ensure that cookies are enabled to track personal activities.
Because different Internet browsers are available, we’ve provided steps for enabling cookies for both
Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers.

sent back to the originating server.
4. Click OK.
SECURITY SETTINGS
In addition to Browser Settings, to ensure the AJAX code is functioning
properly, the following steps should be followed to verify the appropriate
security setting is active:
1. Select Internet Options from the Tools drop-down menu at the top of
an open browser.
SUPPORTED BROWSERS
Vurv Technology uses the most current browser technology available to provide the most robust and
rich web based product on the market today. You can maximize the performance of the Vurv
Technology site by installing and using the most current Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser. The most
recent version of Microsoft Internet Explorer is recommended. Navigate to www.microsoft.com/
downloads for a free upgrade, as older versions of web browsers may not support some of the
features used in the Vurv Technology. For example, frames and style sheets are used significantly and
must be supported by the selected browser when accessing the Vurv Technology site.
Recruiter 3
NOTE: POP-UPS SHOULD BE ALLOWED (ENABLED) IN THE BROWSER, AS THE VURV TECHNOLOGY
SITE USES POP-UP WINDOWS FOR FUNCTIONALITY. HOWEVER, IF YOUR POP-UP BLOCKER ALLOWS
TRUSTED SITES TO BE LISTED, LIST THE VURV TECHNOLOGY SITE, AS IT WILL NOT LAUNCH POP-UP
ADS.
TR U S T E D S I T E S
A trusted site is a URL you trust will not damage your computer. By listing a site as a trusted site, you
are notifying the browser that any time this site tries to launch pages or download files to your
computer that it may proceed without notifying you of the action. In order for certain functionality within
Vurv to work properly, it is suggested to list your Vurv site as a trusted site.
1. Copy the URL or address for your site from the browser address line.
2. Click the Tools drop-down menu and select Internet Options.
3. Choose the Security tab.
4. Click Trusted Sites in the Web con-
tent zone area and click Sites... to
edit the site list.
5. Paste the URL into the Add this
Web Site to the zone: field, and
click Add.
6. Click OK to return to the Internet
Options dialog box.
7. Click OK to save the changes and leave the Internet Options dialog box.
NOTE: IF YOUR NETWORK HAS A FIREWALL CONFIGURED, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ITS SETTINGS WILL
OVERRIDE ANY BROWSER SETTINGS, CAUSING CERTAIN FUNCTIONALITY WITHIN VURV TO FAIL.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR IF SUCH ISSUES ARISE.
HELPFUL HINTS
Utilizing the following options can assist in efficiently navigating the Vurv site:
Many useful tools are accessible through the drop-down menus located at the top of an Internet
Explorer browser. The following are the tools commonly used to assist in navigating within the Vurv
site:
Menu/Selection Option

Paste Pastes any copied information on the clipboard into an active field.
View
Text Size Sets the font size for each page within Internet Explorer.
Shortcut Keys
Below are keyboard shortcuts that correspond with menu selections that can make navigating within
the Vurv site more efficient.
Shortcut Action
Ctrl + N Opens a new window.
General Rules
Frequently, web browsers ask if you want them to remember your password, which may be appealing
for convenience reasons; however, this is a major breach of security because anyone who uses your
computer may have access to any confidential information via an Internet browser. Therefore, it is
recommended that you always answer NO if asked this question.
Recruiter 5
• One of the limitations with web browser technologies is that there is no auto save function; therefore,
it is important to click Save if any information is added or changed on a page.
• Do not share your password with anyone, or save your password where it can be accessed by some-
one else.
Item Rule
Pound (#) Sign When sending emails from the Vurv, avoid using the pound (#) sign, as it is a
programmed prompt that pulls fields out of the site.
Wildcard (%) Sign Vurv has a wildcard symbol of the percent sign (%) that enables you to search the
database using partial spelling. Examples of its use are listed below:
jo% in the Quick Search input box will return last names like Jones, Johnson,
Jonesboro, etc.
%ann in the Quick Search input box will return first names like Ann, Maryann,
Leann, etc. This example would not have returned Suzanne or Roseanne due to
the e at the end. To return those results, you need to enter %ann%.
Tab Between Fields Quickly advance between fields by pressing the Tab key on your keyboard. Should
you need to regress to the previous field you can use the Shift and Tab keys in
combination.
Open New Windows Right-click your mouse over a link and choose Open in New Window to open
information in a new window. This will prevent you from losing your place. For
example, when you have performed a job search and have many results returned,
you may want to open each job title in a separate window.
Back and Forward The back and forward buttons located in the Standard Buttons Bar of Internet
Buttons Explorer allow you to navigate forward and backwards through previously visited
pages.
Field Types Some field types and field type actions within Vurv resemble common field types
and some are unique.
Date Field When Calendar is clicked, a date can be easily selected for the
Date field.
Drop-Down Menus Click the arrow to the right of the box to view the available selections.
Time Field When Clock is clicked, a time can be easily selected for the Time
field.
Multi-Select Drop- Similar to drop-down menu, click the arrow to display the available
Down selections; however, you can hold the Shift or Ctrl key on your
keyboard to choose more that one selection for the field.

The desktop configurator icon allows users to define the appearance of My Desktop.
Tools 11
To Configure My Desktop:
• Desktop Layout
• Label Align
• Select Style
• Attach Content
Desktop Layout
The Desktop Layout area allows users to add, remove, and organize the rows and
columns that appear on My Desktop. Any configurations made within the Desktop
Configurator are not active until the user clicks Save Desktop.
In the event an incorrect or unintentional configuration is made, the user can click
Default to return the Desktop Configurator to its default settings.
To Add a row:
The row is added and appears at the very end of the list.
Once a row is added, by default two columns are in the row. These columns can be merged in the row
or the row can be deleted via the Desktop Layout area.
Just as they can be merged in a row, columns can also be split in a row.
Tools 12
To Delete a row:
The row is removed. A user can delete as many rows as needed or desired, but the Desktop
Configurator will always have at least one row.
NOTE: A ROW DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SELECTED TO BE REMOVED. CLICKING - ROW WITHOUT
SELECTING A ROW DELETES THE EXISTING ROW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST.
To Delete a column:
1. Without selecting any rows, click - Column from the Desktop Layout area.
To Add a column:
A column is added at the top of the page; regardless of whether a row was selected or not. When two
columns exist in the Desktop Configurator, the add column button is disabled.
Once the desktop layout has been completed, the user can align the labels that appear atop the rows
on My Desktop.
Label Align
1. Click the Expand arrows to the top right portion of the Label Align heading.
The Label Align area expands and the Desktop Layout area collapses. By default,
the labels are aligned to the top left of section rows. The options available for label
alignment are Left, Center, and Right.
Tools 13
After configuring the labels, the user can choose a row heading style for My Desktop.
S e l e c t Sty l e
1. Click the Expand arrows to the top right portion of the Select Style heading.
The Select Style area expands and the Label Align area collapses. Classic Vurv is
selected by default, but users have the option of changing the style from Classic Vurv to Windows.
Once the desktop layout, label alignment, and style have been configured, the user can attach content
to the rows. Attaching content in the Desktop Configurator determines exactly which candidate,
company, and requisition information will be shown in which rows.
A t ta c h C o n t e n t
1. Click the Expand arrows on the top right portion of the Attach Content heading.
The Attach Content list expands and the Select Style area collapses.
The pre-defined content list allows a user to drag a content title to a row. Because default rows are
initially defined in the Desktop Configurator, not all content is available. Any content with an orange
draggable icon to the right of it can be dragged to a row. The following pre-defined content is available
to configure the desktop:
Company Bulletins Displays messages posted by the administrator, such as system updates.
Requisition Expirations Displays requisitions that are due to expire on a career portal as defined in the
Portal Posting section of a requisition.
Auto Spot Allows a recruiter to add an Auto Spot search and displays its results based on the
search criteria.

icon is selected.
3. With the “Flying Men” displaying, click the left mouse button and drag the content title to a row.
The replaced title appears in the attach content list with the
draggable icon.
4. Once all changes are made to the layout, click Save Desktop to
secure any changes.

CONCEPT SEARCH
Concept search provides functionality by
electronically comparing one set of descriptive text
with another. Using artificial intelligence, Vurv
reads every resume, job description, and skill
summary that is put into your database. This
information is compared to all requisitions in your
database, recognizes similarities between them,
and displays the results. The concept search also
uses and creates a synonym dictionary, so
variations of words and takes related words into
account when comparing records.
Click the Concept Search link in the upper right side of the Requisition Advanced Search page.
Concept searching can be used with other search fields such as:
Field Function
Search String Paste or enter in concept information on which to search, such as a job description

NOTE: THE MORE TEXT PROVIDED FOR A CONCEPT SEARCH, THE HIGHER THE CHANCES FOR SIG-
NIFICANT RESULTS.
In addition to sorting the columns in the results section, you can configure the section to display certain
columns in a specified order.
Clicking on a Job Title or its corresponding Req ID displays its requisition profile, clicking on the
Hiring Manager name displays its profile, and clicking on the Department name displays the
respective department profile. The results list can be configured via the change column headings
function.
• Change Hiring Manager on Marked Requisitions - Selecting requisitions and clicking Send with this option

EMAIL READER
The Email Reader extracts resumes from standard Emails or Email attachments. It creates the
candidate profile automatically and is coded specifically to extract resumes received from job boards
including Monster, HotJobs, Dice, Headhunter, Brassring, Job.com, Net-temps, and Job Warehouse. If
the job order/requisition I.D. number is placed in the subject line of the Email in a plain numerical
format, the Email Reader automatically attaches the candidate profile to that requisition. Job boards
such as Monster, allow you to enter the job order/requisition I.D. number in the Job Ref. Code field
when submitting the requisition. The following are features of the Email Reader and some of its uses.
Candidates 48
Resume in the body of an Email
For best results, when the resume is in the body of the Email, make
sure the Email begins with the candidate’s name and address as
shown in the example to the right.
A t ta ch m e n ts
The Email Reader extracts information in the following order:
1. Looks for attachments.
2. Looks for a link in the body of the Email.
3. Looks for the format of one of the specific job boards.
4. Looks for text in the body of Email.
Therefore, if an Email is sent to the Email Reader and it has more than one attachment, it will create a
candidate profile from the last attachment. It will also attach all of the attachments to the candidate
profile along with the body of the Email in a.txt format (if “save Email as attachment” is set to Yes in My
Setup/Email Reader). If an Email is sent with an attached resume and a cover letter in the body of the
Email, a candidate profile is created from the attachment and the cover letter is attached to the profile.
The Email Reader looks for the following information, but if unavailable, it will either use incorrect
information or leave the field blank.

First Name Searches the candidate’s first name or partial first name. Note: If you are unsure of
the spelling of a candidate’s first name, use the wild card. See the Wild Card
section of this user guide.
Full Name Searches the candidate’s full name and lists those with similar resumes by rank.
Candidate ID Searches the candidate id field for a specific id. Note: Each candidate id is a
unique number, so only one record will be returned each time it is run.
Resume Searches for words within a candidate’s resume and also supports Boolean logic
(refer to the next subsection)
Example: Search for product AND manager and it will display all
candidates with both words of product and manager within their resume.
CPA OR account will display candidates with a CPA or account in their
resume.
Concept The Advanced Search option also includes Engenium's Semetric, a conceptual
search engine capable of finding highly relevant documents regardless of
structure, content or length. These unique and robust queries move far beyond
simple keyword queries by inferring the meaning of words based on the context in
which they are used. Not only are conceptual relationships measured between
words, but also the theme of an entire document is considered to return the most
relevant matches available - all with very little effort on the user's end. This may
not be available to users in some languages.
Example: Search cars and it returns candidates that worked in the automobile
industry and candidates with experience working on tires.
Today / Last 7, 14, 21, Allows you to search for new candidates based on the date they were added.
30 days Example: Today / Last 7 / 14 / 21 / 30 days.
NOTE: CHECKING THE MINE BOX RETURNS CANDIDATES THAT HAVE YOUR NAME LISTED AS THE
RECRUITER ON THE CANDIDATE PROFILE FOR ALL SEARCHES EXCEPT CONCEPT SEARCH.

If the Skills feature is turned on by the site administrator, skills and expertise are populated when the
information is extracted during the Auto Profile, Email Reader, or Batch Upload processes.
The Skills section tab allows you to add
more skills, edit the skills or find requisitions
that match the skills listed in this section.
Clicking Find Matching Requisitions

Search page. As you scroll down the page,
you will notice that the skills section is populated with every skill selected; you may edit this section.
This feature matches your candidate’s skills and any other criteria that you add in the Advanced
Requisition Search page and displays a search results listing of requisitions, that requisitions hiring
manager, department, status, the area in which is shows (ex: HR Only, Public, All Areas) and whether
or not the Hiring Manager approved that requisition.
ADVANCED SEARCH
Advanced search is used to layer criteria field upon field for targeted searching; you can use all the
fields in conjunction with each other. The candidate advanced search defaults to the country of the
location associated with your login. Please contact your Administrator if the advanced search page is
not defaulting to your proper country. Also, this type of search will return a maximum of 1000 records to
avoid system delays.
Drop Down Menus Select a search choice from any of the desired drop down menus.
Free Text Fields Type in exactly what you wish to search upon in the free text fields.
Pop-Up Data Selector Select a choice by clicking on the link next to the free text field and then select your

Vurv allows you to save searches from the Advanced Search and Saved Searches page.
To Save a search:
Once a search is saved, it can be selected from the Folders and Searches drop-down list in the
bottom quick access bar on the desktop.
Concept Search
Concept searching provides functionality that goes beyond the traditional keyword search by
electronically comparing one set of descriptive text with another. Using Engenium artificial intelligence,
Vurv reads every resume that is put into your database and compares it to all other resumes in your
database and recognizes similarities between them to display your results. The results provided from a
concept search returns the first 1000 records from the database sorted to return the closest match to
the search as the first record listed.
The concept search also uses and creates a synonym dictionary so that variations of words and
related words are taken into account when comparing records. Click Concept Search in the upper right
side of the Advanced Search and Saved Searches page, or click Concept Search these Candidates
after performing an Advanced Search in order to rank the results of the Advanced Search. Concept
searching can be used in conjunction with other search fields such as:
• Required Words – Similar to Boolean Logic’s AND operator, will return candidates with the required words in
their resume. Enter required words separated by a comma (,).
• Excluded Words – Returns candidates that do not have these words in their resumes. Enter excluded words
separated by a comma (,).
• City – Returns candidates with the specified
city on their profile.
• State/Province – Returns candidates with
the specified state or province on their pro-
file.
• Zip/Postal Code – Returns candidates with
the specified zip or postal code on their pro-
file.
• Country – Returns candidates with the
specified country on their profile. This will
default to the country of the user.
Candidates 55
• Recruiter – Returns candidates under the specified recruiter.
• Status – Returns candidates in the specified status.
• Current/Previous Employer or Title – Returns candidates with previous employer or title on their profile.
• Create Date – Returns candidates created on a certain date or between two specified dates.
• Available Date – Returns candidates that are available on a certain date or between two specified dates.

Saved Searches
To Locate and Run your saved search:
1. Select a saved search from the Folders and Searches drop down menu in the
bottom quick access bar.
2. Click the Right Arrow button.
Boolean Search
Vurv has all the basic Boolean operators for the resume searches. Boolean searching uses Boolean
logic or Boolean operators to combine keywords to control the resulting matches. The Boolean search
options are found on the Advanced Search page. The Boolean operators (AND/OR) are not case-
sensitive and allows you to narrow and broaden the results of your search. The Boolean operators are
described below with examples:
Operator Action
AND Use this operator to narrow your search results by requiring that documents
retrieved include all your keywords. Example: If you type workplace AND
privacy it finds documents that contain both of those words
OR Use this operator to broaden your search results by allowing documents retrieved
to include any of your keywords. This technique is useful with synonyms such as
jacket or coat. Example: If you type workplace OR privacy it finds
documents that contain one of those words.

WORKFLOW
This section intends to provide you with the basic process of creating a workflow within Vurv, which
involves Stages and Activities that are executed on candidates at certain stages of the workflow.
Because workflows vary, the information in this section is based on the default workflow.
Sta g e s
While Vurv provides a default workflow, the site Administrator can configure the workflow for the
system based on the organization’s needs. The typical hiring process involves the following activity
stages:
• Added to Requisition
• Screening
• Send To Manager
• Interviewing
• Offer
• Hired
• Disqualified
The site administrator configures a workflow by defining activities within each of the activity categories
that allows recruiters to choose and apply to a candidate on a requisition.
ADDED TO REQUISITION
When a candidate is associated with a requisition by either applying to a job via a career portal or
added by a recruiter, their status in the hiring process is known as Added to Requisition. Activities
configured by the site administrator for this stage, which typically include letters and notifications, are
added to a candidate at this stage.
To Add activities for a candidate from the requisition profile:
1. Click Add Activity to the right of the requisition to which the candidate has applied.
Workflow 64
The Candidates section of the requisition
refreshes to display the new stage and the
columns in the requisition history section
indicate date, category, and note information
relative to the activity.
In addition to the Candidate Email w/Job Description(s) activity, the following system activities are
typically configured to execute when a candidate is added to a requisition. When the activities are
executed they appear in the Last Activity column on the requisition:
Activity Function
Candidate Email w/Job This activity generates an Email that you draft, format, and send to a candidate
Description with a link of the job description.
Candidate Submitted This activity is automatically generated by the system and records when
candidates/employees submit a resume to a requisition via a career portal.
Thank You For This activity generates an Email that you draft, format, and send thanking an
Applying/Employee employee for applying to a requisition via a career portal.
User Added Cand/Emp This activity indicates when a candidate or employee is added to a requisition.

name from the drop-down list. Clicking Notify Outlook of activity sends a vCalendar
attachment that can be added to the recipient’s Outlook calendar.
Hiring Manager This field defaults to the manager’s name as indicated on the requisition and
cannot be changed. Clicking Notify Outlook of activity places this activity on the
manager’s planner.
4. Click Save.
In addition to the Review Resume activity, the following activities are typically configured to execute
when qualifying candidates for requisitions. When the activities are executed they appear in the Last

and complete the application.
Phone Screen This activity indicates that a recruiter has conducted a phone screen with a
candidate. When this activity executes, the candidate questionnaire is presented
to the recruiter for completion.
SEND TO MANAGER
The only activity to be performed at this stage is to forward applicants to the hiring manager for review.
The hiring manager receives the applicant’s information via Email and can either notify you if further
action should be taken, can initiate actions themselves, or have a delegate perform actions on their
behalf.
To perform the Send To Manager activity for one
candidate from a requisition:
1. Click Add Activity to the right of a candidate.

you to document the offer information and confirm it with the hiring manager through a system-
generated Email.
5. Choose the appropriate offer
approver(s) from the Approver Selec-
tion section.
6. Click Save.
Once the hiring manager has verified the offer details and approved the offer, you can create an eOffer
to the candidate. The eOffer activity provides an Email to the candidate with a link to a web interface
where the candidate can access the offer letter and complete any necessary forms for the position.
The candidate also has the option to accept or decline the offer from within the interface.
Once you have generated the offer letter it is important to document if the candidate accepted or
declined the offer. Should the candidate decline the offer, it is important to add an activity of
Disqualified and document the reason why the candidate rejected the offer. You will also have an
option to Offer Rescind in the event that you need to withdraw the offer from the candidate. If this
activity is chosen, the Offers section of the requisition will update to reflect this change in the
candidate’s status.
Workflow 73
The Action Workflow page for the activity appears.
7. Click Save.
Create eOffer
Depending upon the settings of the eOffer package, you may be able to edit the content of the offer
letter and the Email which is sent to the candidate.
You will have the option to either Continue or Cancel this Action. Continue allows you to edit the
Email before it is sent. If the Email is not able to be edited, these buttons read Complete this Action
and Cancel this Action. Complete this Action completes the eOffer and sends out the Email to the
candidate. Cancel this Action cancels the creation of the letter.
Workflow 74
7. Clicking Continue button will bring you to the
page where you can edit the Email that will be
sent to the candidate.
Within the eOffer window, the candidate has the option to decline the offer. If the link to do this is
clicked, the Offers section of the requisition updates to reflect this change in the candidate’s status.
NOTE: THE SYSTEM DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO CREATE AN EOFFER FOR A CANDIDATE WHO DOES
NOT ALREADY HAVE AN OFFER EXTENDED OR HAS AN OFFER THAT IS PENDING APPROVAL.
In the event that your company is not using the eOffer activity, you may create an offer letter to send to
the candidate.
HIRED
When the candidate/employee accepts an offer, ensure that you move the candidate to the Hired stage
by performing an activity of Hired/Accepted. This activity will cause several events to occur
automatically.
Workflow 75

which is ideal if there are different reasons for disqualifying candidates.
2. Choose Disqualified.
5. Click Send to launch the Email and record it on the candidate’s history.
Activities
The actions taken on a candidate consist of activities that occur at different stages in the hiring
process. While the activities and stages are configured by the site administrator, they are made
available for you to select in drop-down lists.
Mass activities are designed to occur on more than one candidate at a time. In some cases, the mass
activity requires you to provide some information to complete the activity. This will either loop through
all of the candidates so you can provide different information for each candidate or bring you to one
page where you can provide the information for all of the candidates at once. The mass activity
provides a confirmation at the top of the page for the number of candidates about to have the action
performed on them with an option to review the candidates. Examples of mass activities include
sending an Email, Extending an Offer, or Sending candidates to the cart.
Workflow 77
NOTE: MASS ACTIVITIES ARE ACTIVITIES TYPICALLY USED TO TAKE ACTION ON MORE THAN ONE
CANDIDATE AT A TIME.
A N Y T I M E & R E Q U I S I T I O N -R E L A T E D A C T I V I T I E S
Any Time activities can be performed on a candidate without changing the candidate’s stage in the
hiring process. Many of these activities, as well as some activities within your workflow, can be
performed from the Take Action box as mass activities. Examples of anytime activities include the
Disqualify and Termination activities, which can happen at any time during the hiring process.
Requisition-Related activities are those that take place only when an action has occurred on a
requisition, such as a candidate being added to a requisition. An example of a requisition-related
activity is a letter being sent from a requisition.

Referral Management
The Employee Referral Program allows current employees to refer potential candidates for
employment to the career portal. Vurv enables you to manage employee referral incentive payments
through the Referral Management section, which is similar to the reporting tool.
Referrals are added to the site through the Send Job to a Friend link on the job profile or
via the ERP section of the employee portal, but are not limited to that requisition within
the site. For a referral to become a candidate in the site, they must log in to the career
portal and create a profile. They will be associated with any chosen requisitions automatically once the
profile is created.
The following referral reports are available via the referral management feature:
Report Description

ASSESSMENTS
Assessments, which are configured by the site administrator, can be added to requisitions to help
qualify candidates. This section allows you to add candidate assessments to a requisition.
As opposed to questionnaires, which are completed by recruiters (about candidates) as an activity in a
workflow, assessments are tools recommended to score and weigh candidate's responses to direct
questions that qualify them for specific open requisitions. To capture candidate's responses to
additional free-text oriented questions, we recommend the use of other tools within the application,
such as User Defined Fields (UDFs) .
The Assessment Search page appears where you can search for an existing assessment that may be
relevant to the requisition.
