Application Comments & History – StaffSavvy Support

Application Comments

Comments can be added to an application at any time. They can be added to the application as a whole or to any of the answers within the application.

The system will track when you have seen each of the comments and will alert you to new comments with an orange icon next to each application. Once in the application, you will see where the comment has been hidden based on the orange button colour.

Once read, the comments buttons will turn blue.

If there are no comments, then the button will be grey.

Comments are often used throughout the application process and can also be used to hold comments on their interview.

They can be used to provide feedback to rejected applicants on request.

Transferring Comments

If you decide to move an applicant over to another job opening, by default you will transfer the comments over as well. However, you can also reset all comments on an application when transferring a candidate to another position, as well as the application status and scores.

You can do this by viewing an application and clicking the ‘transfer to another position’ button in the action bar.

You can then choose what you would like to keep and what you would like to reset, including scores and application status. You also have the option to remove comments that shortlisted applicants, or those reviewing applications may have included if they are irrelevant to the other position.

Application History

You can also view an applicant's history, including custom messages that have been sent to them.

To do this, go to the position page, click to view the applicants who have applied for the position you are interested in and click ‘view application’.

From here, you should be able to see a button to view application history in the action bar, which will take you to a page listing all the developments with the application, including whether they have been invited for an interview, email transcripts and whether the applicant’s application has been transferred to another position.
