Searching and Communicating with Candidates
Searching
The search feature has been open since October 25. We recommend you contact as many candidates as possible to schedule appointments before you arrive at the meeting. On site PPS Message boxes have been discontinued and all communications are electronic. We will provide ample computers and printers for on site searching.
To conduct a search use the AdvancedSearch tab. You can change the date range every time you search so you only receive the most recent postings, you can search by Candidate ID number or you can export a list of all candidates into a text file. You can also use Search Alert tab and create a Search Alert and new postings will be delivered via email.
Search Results
Once you’ve received results from your search you will be able to save as many resumes as you want. Saved resumes can be found in the Saved Resumes tab at anytime. In new searches you will be able to see which resumes you've already saved and which candidates you've contacted.
Communicating with Candidates
Once you’ve identified candidates you are interested in interviewing you should use the Messaging tab to communicate. The PPS Messaging tab is where you will conduct and store all correspondence with candidates you wish to interview. It functions much like your own personal email only it’s stored in your PPS account. Using the PPS Messaging system (as opposed to your own email account) will help manage communications.
