    Conversational ATS configuration steps Step #1: Request for the feature to be enabled Step #2: Configure this feature on the job Step #3: Set the number of openings Edit number of openings Integrated ATS configuration steps Step #1: Request for the feature to be enabled Step #2: Add a parameter in the job feed

    In order to configure the Number of Hires feature, you will need assistance from your CS Representative and a Company/Account Admin. This process does differ depending on whether you utilize Conversational ATS or an integrated ATS.


    Conversational ATS configuration steps

    If you utilize Paradox's Conversational ATS, then complete the below steps.

    Step #1: Request for the feature to be enabled

    Contact your CS Representative to enable this feature for you.

    Step #2: Configure this feature on the job

    Once enabled, you will need to configure this functionality on each individual job.

    1. Select the All Apps button in the top left corner of the header and then Settings in its dropdown menu. 
    2. When the Settings page opens, select Job Manager under the Jobs section.
    3. The Job Manager will open to the Jobs list. Open the preferred category and then job.
    4. In the Overview section, scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the Number of Hires option listed. Select Configure next to this option.
    5. A slide-out drawer will open. Toggle on Enable Number of Hires.
    6. Select the Action that will occur when the threshold is met. Options include:
      • Olivia Will Turn the job Off
      • Notify Hiring Manager
    7. Select Save in the bottom right corner of the drawer.
    8. Save the Overview section.
    9. Publish the job.
    10. Complete steps #3-9 for all jobs that will need a threshold set for them.

    Step #3: Set the number of openings

    Once enabled on the job level, you can then enter in the number of openings for the job within My Jobs.

    1. Select the All Apps button in the top left corner of the header and then My Jobs from its dropdown menu.
    2. Toggle on the preferred job or click into a job that is currently open.
    3. Select the preferred options for this job.
    4. In the Hiring Goal section, a Number of Hires box will display. In this box, enter in the number of openings that are available for this job.
      • Note: Once this threshold is met at the selected Hired stage, then the job will either close automatically or notify the hiring manager.
    5. Select Post Job or Update Job Posting in the bottom right corner of this modal.

    If both CVO and Number of Hires are enabled for your account:

    Then the Hiring Goal section will include 2 options in which the threshold for this job can be set:

    • Number of Hires – The total number of candidates that are needed to reach the selected Hired stage of the job’s Journey.
    • CVO – The number of candidates per one hire or total that will need to reach the job’s selected threshold status (selected in Candidate Volume Optimizer) before the threshold is met. This will then be the CVO value required to take the corresponding action (either close the job or notify the Hiring Manager).
     

    Edit number of openings

    If the job is edited after the Number of Hires and CVO values are entered, those values can be edited to any value more than the already Hired stage value. 


    Integrated ATS configuration steps

    If you utilize an Integrated ATS, then complete the below steps.

    Step #1: Request for the feature to be enabled

    Contact your CS Representative to enable this feature for you.

    Step #2: Add a parameter in the job feed

    Add a new parameter to your job feed to catch the number of hire value for each job. An example of a parameter and the structure to pass through the job feed is the following:

    "Hiring_goal":
        {
        "CVO": [{"threshold ": 3, "per_hire": true}],
        "NOH":4
        }

    The number of hire value will be captured in the feed and automatically displayed for each job. If a value is not passed from a field in your external ATS, then the Number of Hires section will not display for the corresponding job.

    If CVO is enabled, the system will also capture if the field is per hire or a total value.

     

    If both CVO and Number of Hires are enabled for your account:

    Then the Hiring Goal section will include 2 options in which the threshold for this job can be set:

    • Number of Hires – The total number of candidates that are needed to reach the selected Hired stage of the job’s Candidate Journey.
    • CVO – The number of candidates per one hire or total that will need to reach the job’s selected threshold status (selected in Candidate Volume Optimizer) before the threshold is met. This will then be the CVO value required to take the corresponding action (either close the job or notify the Hiring Manager).
