A Tracker is essential to the hiring process. Trackers align and manage candidates and reviewers for a job posting and provide seamless communication between (and among) the Tracker Reviewers and the Tracker Candidates. Trackers contain the information from all potential Candidates in one spot.
Applicable Roles

- HR Team
- Recruiting Administrator
- Recruiting Coordinator
Prerequisites
Tracker Terminology, Create a New Job Posting - It is recommended that Trackers be created when creating a New Job Posting, as this will automate many of the steps required when adding a Tracker, after the job posting has been completed.
Determine Hiring Scenarios - Once the Job Posting and Tracker have been created; HR will determine who manages the Tracker and the access necessary to complete your district's established hiring process. There are 2 options regarding Tracker Management:
Option 1 - HR Manages the Tracker
- Human Resources creates a list of candidates based on various searchable criteria (certifications, jobs applied for) and assigns people as Reviewers to view this list of candidates. HR determines access level of each reviewer of the lists (View, Add Comments, Tracker Manager/Coordinator) and sends communication to the Reviewers that the list of Tracker Candidates is ready for review. Reviewers sign in and can view the candidates that are assigned to them. HR may also assign Applicant status and can email any candidate on any list
Option 2 - Hiring Manager manages the Tracker
- Human Resources allows those hiring for a position, the ability to conduct their own searches so that the Hiring Manager has full control of their Tracker for the position to be filled. Hiring Managers will be given full access to Trackers and will have the ability to create and modify candidates, assign statuses and rankings, email candidates and add comments to the Tracker (not the candidate's record details)
