Additional 360 configuration
The following sections will outline extra steps to make sure your SmartRecruiters connection is successfully linked.Configure Crosschq templates
Templates are reference request configurations that are used to trigger requests from ATS connectors. You have to set up your Crosschq templates to be able to send Crosschq requests from an ATS.
Within Crosschq, go to Organization Settings > Templates. Select Create New Template.
Enter the required information such as the template name, add in an ATS Tag for that template and create a description of the template.
Within the Request Settings, add in the position, select the appropriate survey, and configure the number/type of references you want to be associated with this request. Please note, the relationship type can either be specified or you can select any relationship type and let the candidate determine the type of reference. Additionally, you can add customized notes to each specific reference request, i.e. "Please provide a manager reference from X company."
From there, add in optional hiring manager information. Finally, you can create custom emails or text messages associated with each template by filling out the custom notifications section. When you are done, select Create Template.
At any point, if you need to edit or delete a template select the three dots next to the template and you can manage from there.
Adding template tags to SmartRecruiters
When using SmartRecruiters, it's important to ensure that any job that you create contains the same tag - so the correct Crosschq request is sent to the candidate. In the figure below, you can see where to add the tag.
Add the Crosschq tag to the corresponding job in the SmartRecruiters platform by taking the following steps.
Select the job you want to add a Crosschq tag to, click the edit button on the job, and within the details section of the job description add the correct Crosschq tag you created within the corresponding template in Crosschq. Continue editing the job and select save. Once you have completed this process, make sure the candidate you are sending through Crosschq is applying for the same job where you have updated the Crosschq tag, this will ensure they receive the correct Crosschq request.
Please note that tags should be all lowercase.
Requestors and Hiring Managers
Crosschq pulls the Recruiter and Hiring Managers information from the job's Hiring Team in SmartRecruiters.
- Crosschq will assign as requestor the SmartRecruiters user listed as "Recruiter" within the Job's hiring team. If there is more than one user with recruiter permissions, Crosschq will select the first in the list.
- Crosschq will assign as Hiring Managers the SmartRecruiters users listed as "Hiring Managers" within the Job's hiring team.
In the following example, Andrea will be assigned as the requestor and Nicole and Hernan as Hiring Managers:
Sending a Crosschq from SmartRecruiters
To initiate a Crosschq request for a specific candidate, ensure that the candidate has been converted to a lead and has applied for a job with a Crosschq tag.
Then move the candidate along to the Crosschq stage, this will kick off the Crosschq for a candidate.
When a Crosschq request is complete, the owner will receive an email message.
Viewing a Crosschq report
To view the Crosschq report, a link will be available from the Notes section under a candidate in SmartRecruiters. Click the link to get redirected to the Crosschq report. Additionally, a full report will be available from the attachments section in SmartRecruiters.
When a candidate is marked as hired in SmartRecruiters this status will be ingested into Crosschq, as will the rejected status.
We have implemented a new auto-cancelation feature, now when candidates are marked as rejected they will automatically have their reference request canceled within Crosschq.
