1. What is Connexion Pointe®

So what is Connexion Pointe? How does it work? Why should candidates use it? Why should businesses use it? Here is an overview.

1. What is Connexion Pointe®?

Welcome to the new standard in cloud-based video screening. Connexion Pointe® is a cloud-based video screening tool for recruiters that also features a self-service video interviewing tool for candidates. Our platform has two coordinated applications: Pointe Savant® is for recruiters, and Pointe Profile® is for candidates.

Experts suggest that 70-85% of positions are filled through networking, which is why both of our applications feature a tool for creating and sharing asynchronous video interviews. Recruiters or candidates can initiate the screening process, recruiters can follow up, and everyone can get to a decision quickly.

1.1 Pointe Profile® is for candidates.

Pointe Profile® is our self-serve interviewing application for candidates. In addition to creating and sharing asynchronous video interviews, Pointe Profile® features tools for candidate self-development with an emphasis on behavioral and video interviewing, delivering other screening-related video content to Pointe Savant® users, and responding to their follow-up questions. Pointe Profile® provides candidates the best answer for automated Applicant Tracking Systems – networking and connecting with decision makers!

Pointe Profile® has a $1 sign-up fee and is otherwise free for life. The $1 fee is waived when candidates are invited to take an interview created by a Pointe Savant® user.

1.2 Pointe Savant® is for recruiters, businesses, and organizations.

Pointe Savant® is our recruiter/organizational application. In addition to creating and sharing asynchronous video interviews, Pointe Savant® features tools for managing online screening events, candidate evaluation, asking follow-up questions, and a robust database for managing video interviews submitted by Pointe Profile® users.

Pointe Savant® requires a monthly subscription for access to the service. An additional per-interview charge can be mitigated by allowing candidates to create and submit their own interviews.

Note: Pointe Savant® is not an automated-candidate-selection device! It does not contain a resume parser or technology to rank candidates via keyword-search or algorithm automatically, and it is not a replacement for real recruiters and hiring managers! Instead, Pointe Savant® is explicitly designed to help them maximize their valuable experience to screen a lot more candidates quickly.

1.3 Meet our virtual characters.

Our platform features multi-lingual virtual interviewers that are available 24/7/365 to simulate face-to-face interviews, keeping decision makers free to focus on evaluating excellent candidate content.

1.4 How does it work?

Our system generates a link for each screening interview created. The link can be shared via email, resume or even posted on a job board. Recruiter or candidate functionality is activated depending on the application used to create the interview.

2. Why should candidates use it?

With Pointe Profile®, candidates no longer have to wait for recruiters to start the screening process. Candidates can begin the screening process by interviewing themselves, sharing their interview with targeted recruiters users and providing a clear pathway for verifying the screening content presented. This creates a unique opportunity to stand out by lowering recruiters’ workload and costs without sacrificing quality. This also creates a strong incentive for recruiters to take a look.

3. Why should recruiters use it?

Until now, the screening process was a one-way street that began with organizational outreach or recruiters screening for talent. Organizations paid most of the costs associated with screening and faced the logistical challenges of screening ever-larger online candidate pools. With Pointe Savant®, recruiters can deploy asynchronous video interviews using our virtual army of multi-lingual interviewers capable of screening hundreds of candidates per hour and delivering the content to an easy-to-use online interface designed to help hiring teams make decisions quickly. Furthermore, inbound candidates can present themselves with excellent video screening interviews already done, efficiently leveraging their ambition to lower recruiters’ workload and screening costs.

As previously stated, Pointe savant® requires a monthly subscription for access to the service, and there is an additional per-interview charge. Mitigating the per-interview charge is easy because Pointe Savant® features the ability to accept candidate generated interviews and information.

3.1 What do you mean by “accept candidate generated interviews”?

Candidate generated interviews are interviews created by candidates at in the Pointe Profile® application. The interviews are designed at candidates’ discretion and not subject to the vagaries of recruiters. The candidate chooses the questions and can support the interview with additional video-based content.

4. How can Pointe Profile® interviews be useful if recruiters are not selecting the questions?

An excellent question!

The key is in how the interviews are created. The 800+ job titles in our Pointe Savant® Screening Event Builder™ and Pointe Profile® Interview Builder™ applications are based on the United States Standard Occupational Code. We’ve created recommendations for soft skills for many of these job titles (and we’re creating more as you read this).

This is important for a few reasons:

1. It gives everyone a similar starting point for building screening interviews,

2. It standardizes an organizationally acceptable format for the exchange of screening information,

3. It provides an easy-to-use automated framework for expanding your candidate pool to include similar job titles.

I’ll give you an example.

4.1 Competency-Based Interviews

For this example, let’s use the job title of Registered Nurse. In the photo above, the Pointe Savant® user (on the left) is a hospital/recruiter looking to hire a Registered Nurse. The Pointe Profile® user (on the right) is a Registered Nurse looking for a position. They both log in to their respective applications and begin creating a screening interview for the Registered Nurse position.

4.2 Same starting point: everyone answers the same introductory questions.

The first two questions of the interview are the same, regardless of which application created the interview. These questions cannot be re-ordered, removed, revised or replaced. Each question offers every candidate an equal 2-minute opportunity to introduce themselves and lay claim to their desired position while giving hiring managers complete control over how much of the interview they review.

4.3 Standardized format: Competency-based behavioral interview questions

After selecting a job title, both of our interview builders present the same list of Competencies/Themes to each user.

4.4 Competency/Themes Definitions

Each of these Competencies/Themes defines a job-relevant “soft-skill” for the position. Let’s use “Decision Making” for our example.

4.5 Question selections.

Even if the Pointe Savant® user chooses question #2 in this category, but the Pointe Profile® chooses question #1, both questions are job-related and directly relevant to an important soft skill (Decision Making) for the position. The Pointe Savant® users’ time is not wasted, and they can still ask their preferred question as a follow-up using Pointe AskMe™.

4.6 An easy-to-use automated framework for expanding your candidate pool.

In addition to matching Competency/Themes, Pointe Savant® Screening Event Builder™ features an easy-to-use tool that allows recruiters to expand the candidate pool by accepting similar job titles from other SOC categories. (Using this feature is easy, and there is a full step-by-step tutorial in our help guide).

4.7 Different job titles may have similar competencies/themes.

Even though some Pointe Profile® users in the expanded candidate pool will have different job titles, the overall Competencies/Themes for screening are remarkably similar. This gives Pointe Profile® users the ability to be considered for multiple positions with the same interview while hiring managers can increase their candidate pool without changing the essential focus of their screening event.

For many recruiters, screening questions become more organizationally specific as candidates advance through screening processes. Connexion Pointe® platforms natively support this practice. Everybody is on the same page – even before the first contact occurs.

I’ll show you how the system works now 🙂

5. Setting up Pointe Savant®.

Before you start using the application, you should verify your information. You also can designate some other users to help you with your screening. Click the account tab.

5.1 Owner and User Profile Information.

1. With the “Account” tab selected,

2. Four secondary tabs display: “Staff,” “My Info,” Business Info” and “Manage.” Let’s look at each of these tabs and add the required information.

6. Managing Staff

Depending on your subscription, Pointe Savant® supports a variable number of users on the same account. We refer to these additional folks as “Staff.” Staff can be added by the account owner to create screening events, evaluate candidates and “Wrap-Up” screening events when they’ve concluded.

6.1 The Staff Tab.

This is the staff window. Here is where you’ll manage who has access to the account and what functions are available to them. Anyone using your Pointe Savant® account must be added here by an administrator before they can participate in any screening activity. By default, the primary account holder is the first staff member. This person will have unrestricted access to all of the account information, (including statistics and financials) and has the ability to create other users on the account. (Use great care when creating other users with “Admin” clearance. They can not delete the original account owner but they can delete other users! New staff Admins don’t have access to the account financials.)

6.2 Staff Clearances – Owner.

Before adding staff to your account to help with screening, take a minute to consider exactly how you want their role defined. The photo above illustrates the four clearance levels offered by Pointe Savant®. Each colored box encompasses the functionality available to its corresponding label.

The OWNER has ADMIN clearance (by default) which grants full access to all of Pointe Savant®’s powerful functions. The original owner of the account can not be deleted, and their status on the account can not be transferred to anyone or changed. The owner may also add other users (including others with limited ADMIN clearance).

Please take a moment to understand what each clearance means in the context of your organization and screening strategy.

6.3 Staff Clearances – Limited Admin

Staff with the Admin can access all of the account functions within the orange square. This is mainly all of the account functions with the exception of financial transactions, which are reserved for the account owner only This is a useful setting for a top manager of screening who may not have access to the company credit card. Staff added with limited

Admin clearance on Pointe Savant® accounts will be able to see all of the screening events on the account.

Note: These clearances may change without notice as new functionality is added to the platform.

6.4 Staff Clearances – Lead Staff

Lead Staff members have access to all of the screening event functions enclosed listed in the green square above.

Lead Staff can only view or participate in screening events to which they’re assigned.

6.5 Staff Clearances – Regular Staff

Regular Staff is the most restricted user.

Regular Staff can only view the events they’re assigned to, evaluate candidates and initiate follow-up questions with Pointe AskMe™.

6.6 Adding Staff

Let’s add some staff members who will screen candidates, build interviews and set up events. Start by clicking the “Staff” tab and the “Add Staff” button.

6.7 Add Staff Window

The “Add staff” window opens. Enter all of the relevant information for the staff being added. If specific fields don’t apply to your organization, you can choose a value of -0-. (This won’t affect functionality).

6.8 Staff Clearance

6.12 Editing Staff Info.

Next to the “Date Added” column of the staff name are two icons.

1 – The icon on the left is the “Edit Staff Member” icon and is for editing the staff information.

2 – The icon on the right is for deleting the staff from the account and revoking access.

6.13 Click Edit Staff Icon.

To edit this staffer’s information, click the icon.

6.14 Edit Staff Profile Window.

The “Edit staff Profile” window appears. Make any changes (including administrative access) here and click submit.

Note: Once a staff member has been added, an administrator does not have access to and can not change that staff members username or password. Usernames can not be changed, and only staff members can change their password. Other details may be edited, or the staff member can be deleted. Deleting the staff member does not erase the recorded history of the staff members activities.

6.15 Add Staff Photo

Selecting a staff name activates the staff Profile window. Adding an optional staff photo is easy. To begin, the administrator clicks “Upload.” Note the valid file types indicated at the bottom of the window.

6.20 Deleting Staff Members

Now let’s take a look at how to delete staff members from your account.

6.21 Deleting Staff Members

To delete a staff member and completely remove their access to the account click the red icon illustrated above.

6.22 Confirm Staff Delete.

The “Confirm” window opens. Confirm the deletion by clicking “Yes.” Clicking “No” will close the “Confirm” window and the staff profile will remain unchanged.

6.23 Deleted Staff Access.

If a deleted staff attempts to sign in using their credentials, their access will be denied, and they will be redirected to the login page.

6.24 Re-Adding a Deleted Staff Member

IMPORTANT: A deleted staff can not be re-added to the account with the same username and password. A new username and password must be selected.

6.25 Populated Staff List

When you’ve added a few staff members, your staff list may look similar to the photo above. Notice that some staff members have administrative privileges and others do not.

6.26 Admin Staff View 1

When the original owner logs in logs in, will see all of the tabs and all of the buttons for all of the functions. Notice the “Add Screening Event” on the “Screening Events” tab.

6.27 Purchase Candidate Engagements button.

Select the “Account” tab, then select the “Manage” sub-tab. Notice there is a “Purchase Candidate Engagements” button. Note: “Purchase Candidate Engagements” button is only available to the account owner.

4.Candidate Engagements

The Connexion Pointe® platform and pricing is designed to encourage Pointe Savant users to allow proactive candidates to prepare interviews in Pointe Profile® for submission.

As a quick reminder:

Pointe Profile® is the Connexion Pointe® application that candidates use to create and share interviews with Pointe Savant® users.

Pointe Savant® is the Connexion Pointe® application that organizations use to create interviews for candidates, accept interviews produced by candidates, evaluate candidate responses, ask follow-up questions, notify candidates at the conclusion of the screening process, and store the candidate information for later use.

Each time a Pointe Profile user submits an interview to Pointe Savant users or records an interview at the Savant Gateway. It’s referred to as a “candidate engagement.”

1. Managing Candidate Engagements.

1 – Candidate engagements are managed on the “Manage” sub-tab – which is found under the “Account” tab.

2 – Accounting of Free and Paid engagements on Pointe Savant® accounts can be monitored in (in real time) in the “View Engagements” window.

3 – The number of (paid) Remaining Engagements along with average daily, monthly and annual engagement consumption can be monitored in the “Candidate Engagement Summary” window.

2. 30 Complimentary Paid Candidate Engagements

Each Pointe Savant® account has 30 complimentary Paid engagements at sign up.

3. Candidate Engagements

There are two classifications of Candidate Engagements – “Free” Engagements and “Paid” Engagements.

Each time a Pointe Savant® user creates a screening event, they have the option of

A – Requiring candidates to record a spontaneous interview at the Savant gateway and barring the submission of interviews created in Pointe Profile® or

B – Offering candidates a choice of submitting an interview created Pointe Profile® interview -OR- recording a spontaneous interview at the Savant Gateway.

Submitting an interview created in Pointe Profile® always results in a “Free” engagement.

Recording a spontaneous interview at the Savant Gateway always results in a “Paid” engagement.

4. The “Manage” sub-tab.

Free Engagements do not reduce the number of Remaining Engagements. Each Paid Engagement reduces the amount of Remaining Engagements by 1.

Managing candidate engagements in Points Savant® is easy. Just select the “Account” tab and then select the “Manage” sub-tab.

5. Candidate Engagement Summary

To screen candidates, Candidate Engagements must be purchased. Every new Pointe Savant® account receives 30 complimentary engagements, which can be monitored in the “Candidate Engagement Summary” window (pictured above).

To view this window log in>select the “Account” tab>select the “Manage” tab.

6. Free Candidate Engagements

Generally speaking, if an interview was created in the Pointe Profile® application and accepted by a Pointe Savant® user, the engagement is “Free” for the Pointe Savant® user, and does not reduce the number of Remaining Engagements. All of the engagements in the photo above are Free for this Savant user and did not reduce the number of Remaining Engagements.

7. Paid Candidate Engagements

If a candidate records an interview at the Pointe Savant® Gateway, the engagement is “Paid.” Each Paid Engagement reduces the number of Remaining Engagements by 1.

1 – All of the engagements in the photo above are Paid Engagements – each one of them reduced the number of Remaining Engagements in this Pointe Savant® user’s account by 1.

2 – Since each Pointe Savant® account starts with 30 complimentary engagements, this account would have 26 Remaining Engagements.

8. Purchase Engagements Notification

1 – Pointe Savant® will notify you when the number of Remaining Engagements needs to be replenished. When there are 15 or less Remaining Engagements, this warning will appear at login.

2 – When the number of Remaining Engagements reaches -0-, the “Purchase Candidate Engagements” dialog box cannot be closed, and the account can not be accessed until more engagements are purchased. To purchase more engagements, the account owner must log in and click the “Purchase Now” button.

Note: The “Purchase Now” button is not available to anyone except the account owner! Only the account owner can purchase candidate engagements!

9. Screening Event Paused | Connexion Pointe®

2. Select the “Events” Tab

The “Events” tab is selected by default. If it is not selected, click to select it.

2.1 The Screening Events tab.

When the “Events” tab is selected, one sub-tab labeled “Screening Events” is available.

A “Screening Event” is an interview created in the Pointe Savant® application.

This chapter will discuss how to create a screening event with Pointe Savant®.

With Pointe Savant®, creating, scheduling, and managing these events is easy. Pointe Savant® also features the ability to accept interviews created by candidates using our Pointe Profile® application.

Note: Original owner, Limited Admin, or Lead Staff clearance must build Screening Events in Pointe Savant®. The “Add Screening Event” button is not available to Regular Staff members.

2.2 Add Screening Event Button.

To build a Screening Event, click the “Add Screening Event” button.

2.3 Screening Event Builder™ application.

The “Screening Event Builder” opens.

2.4 Building a Screening Event – an Overview

You’ll notice five tabs pictured above. These tabs represent a simple 5-step process to creating your screening event. Let’s get started!

2.5 Add Event Details.

1 – First, enter the relevant Event Details and Position Location details in the available fields.

2 – Enter a Job Description in the field. Pointe Savant® provides light formatting functionality. Note that this description is for your internal use only – it is not displayed outside of your account. It should match any external materials posted about the position.

2.6 Add Event Details.

1. Your screen should look similar to the photo above when you’re done. Once the Screening Event Details are complete, review your entries and

2. click “Next.”

3. Compose messages for automated candidate feedback.

Pointe Savant® streamlines your record-keeping and candidate feedback by automating this activity. Our next step is creating three messages that designated candidates will receive after the screening process concludes. These three messages are indicated by the three sub-tabs illustrated above.

3.1 Create an “Advancing” Message

First, let’s create a message for those candidates that have captured your interest and will be advancing to the next round of screening.

1. Pointe Savant® provides an example of such a message that you can copy and paste into the available field (2.)

2. You may edit the message to suit your needs, or you may compose a message in this window.

3. A character counter tracks the number of available characters for your message. This character count cannot be exceeded.

4. To erase your message and start over, click the “Reset” button.

5 When you’re satisfied with your message, click “Next.”

3.2 Create a “Save for Later” Message

Next, we’ll create a message for the candidates that aren’t advancing to the next round of interviews, but we’d like to keep them in mind for future positions.

1. Pointe Savant® provides an example of such a message that you can copy and paste into the available field (2.)

2. You may edit the message to suit your needs, or you may compose a message in this window.

3. A character counter tracks the number of available characters for your message. This character count cannot be exceeded.

4. To erase your message and start over, click the “Reset” button.

5. When you’re satisfied with your message, click “Next.”

3.3 Create a “Non-Acceptance” Message

Finally, we’ll compose a message for those candidates that will be politely rejected. These are candidates that will probably not be considered for any position under any circumstances.

1. Pointe Savant® provides an example of such a message that you can copy and paste into the available field (2.)

2. You may edit the message to suit your needs, or you may compose a message in this window.

3. A character counter tracks the number of available characters for your message. This character count cannot be exceeded.

4. To erase your message and start over, click the “Reset” button.

5 When you’re satisfied with your message, click “Next.”

4. Assigning Staff Roles on Screening Events

Pointe Savant® makes it easy to delegate screening responsibilities to members of your team.

Non-admins must be assigned to a screening event to view it. Staff members must be added to the Pointe Savant® account before they can be scheduled to participate in a screening event.

If you have not added staff members, you can review the process for doing so HERE.

We’ve already added staff members for this example. All of the available staff members appear in the list labeled “Current Staff.” Now we’ll assign those staff members to their roles in this screening event.

4.1 Pointe Savant® Business Dashboard

Staff members can serve one of two roles in a screening event:

2. Lead Staff Role- reviews all of the recommendations and notes, then makes the final decision on this screening event to advance the candidate, save the candidate for later, or reject the candidate.

3. Regular Staff Role- views candidate interviews, evaluates, and scores the candidates’ responses, then provides notes and makes a recommendation for each candidate. The advice can be “Advance,” “Save For Later,” or “Reject.” Regular Staff members can not see evaluations completed by other staff.

Assigning staff member roles is easy – just drag and drop the staff member’s name to the appropriate role.

4.2 Lead Staff Assignment Error

Every screening event must have someone assigned to the Lead Staff role.

Note: If only one person is screening candidates and making the final screening decisions on the event, drag that person’s name to the LEAD STAFF list.

4.3 Lead Staff Clearance Error.

To be assigned the Lead Staff role on a screening event, the staff member MUST have Admin or Lead Staff clearance.

In the photo above, Regular Olstaff, a staff member with Regular Staff clearance, has been assigned to the Lead Staff role in the event. This is incorrect because the Original owner, Limited Admin, or Lead Staff clearance must be the designated Lead Staffer on screening events.

4.4 Pointe Savant® Business Dashboard

This will immediately trigger an error, and the system will remove the name from the Lead Staff role in the event.

4.5 One Lead Staff Role per Screening Event.

Only one person may be assigned to the Lead Staff Role per screening event.

5. Choose Interviewer.

Pointe Savant® employs virtual characters to simulate face-to-face interviews. There are 10 multi-lingual interviewers from which to choose.

5.1 Choose Interviewer. In this example, we’re going to use a realistic character available in future versions of the software.

Selecting an interviewer for your interviewer is easy. Interviewer Barbara Paul is selected by default.

5.2 Interviewer Options

To choose a different interviewer, first, locate the “Interviewer Options” pane.

5.3 View available Interviewers

To select a new interviewer,

1. Click the drop-down menu with Suzy Scott’s name to see a list of available interviewers.

2. Select another interviewer.

5.4 Meet Adam Gaines

A new interviewer appears in the interviewer’s pane. Repeat the process to select another interviewer. We like Adam Gaines, and we’re testing him for future versions of our product, so we’re going to have him ask the interview questions. Now let’s choose a language for our interview.

6. Interview Language – English is Required

Note: Connexion Pointe® is an American company, and English is our screening platform’s default language. An interview may be administered in one additional language, but an English-language interview is required.

After selecting an interviewer, a secondary language may be chosen.

1. English is the primary language selected by default and can not be changed.

2. To hear a sample of the interviewer asking a question in the selected language, click the “Listen” button.

3. The text of the sample question being spoken by the interviewer appears here.

6.1 (Optional) Add a Secondary Language

Any Pointe Savant® interview can be administered in one or two languages. If you’d like this interview to be conducted in more than one language,

1 – select the second language by clicking the “Secondary Language” drop-down menu.

2 – To hear a sample of the interviewer asking the sample question in the secondary language, click the “Listen” button.

6.2 Single Language Interviews

1 – To administer your English interview only, select “None” in the Secondary Language drop-down menu.

2 – After making your language selections here, click the “Next” button in the bottom right corner.

6.Interview Purpose & Types

Before choosing an interview type, let’s take a look at the various interview types available. Pointe Savant® can guide you in building a structured behavioral interview or a custom interview for virtually any purpose or position.

1. Pointe Savant® Interview Purpose Pane

After selecting an interviewer and language(s) for your screening event, it’s time to select an Interview Purpose and Interview Type.

1.1 Pointe Savant® – Interview Purpose Pane

Pointe Savant® currently supports Professional and Student interviews, but the ability to add your custom questions makes it ideal for virtually any situation where screening is appropriate. As the name suggests, Professional interviews serve the purpose of connecting employers or organizations with candidates. Student interviews serve the purpose of connecting educational institutions and students.

If you are NOT screening students, select “Professional.” I’ll show you the Professional interviews first.

2. Professional Interview Types

Selecting the appropriate questions for professional screening interviews can be challenging. The Interview Type setting in Screening Event Builder™ can help you get started. There are four types of Professional interviews in Pointe Savant®. Each type represents a unique collection of competencies/themes, each having a collection of corresponding screening questions from which to choose.

You can add your custom questions to any interview! Our first collection is the “General Interview (Powered by Positive Options).” The General Interview represents a competency skill-set for candidates preferred by CEOs.

3. Professional Interviews – General Interview.

To view the competencies and questions in the General Interview (Powered by Positive Options) collection,

1 – Select “Professional” as the Interview Purpose.”

2 – Select “General Interview (Powered by Positive Options)” for the Interview Type.

3 – Make any selection in the “Accept Profile Submission” box and choose a job title. We’ll discuss this setting in detail later, but you can just choose any one of the options here for now.

4 – Enter “General Manager” for the Job Title and click “Search.” When your list is populated, choose “General Manager.” (For this example, we are using “General Manager” as the Job Title. To appreciate the differences between each competency/theme collection, I recommend that you use the same job title to compare and contrast.)

5 – Click “Next.”

3.1 Professional Interviews – General Interview.

This will advance you to the “Questions” tab of Screening Event Builder™, where the collection of surveyed CEO’s preferred Competencies/Themes appears on the left side of the screen.

3.2 Professional Interviews – General Interview Competencies/Themes

Here’s a look at the list of Competencies/Themes up close. To see the definition of each competency, click the blue question mark next to it. Note: This collection is intended to suggest where to start in creating your screening interview and not a definitive guide.

4. Professional Interviews – Specific Job Title Interview (Powered by Positive Options)

The next Interview Type is the “Specific Job Title Interview (Powered by Positive Options).” This interview presents Competencies/Themes relevant to specific job titles based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. When this type is selected, the job title directly drives the competencies/themes presented. Let’s use our General Manager job title again to see the difference.

To view the competencies and questions in the Specific Job Title Interview (Powered by Positive Options) collection,

1 – Select “Professional” as the Interview Purpose.”

2 – Select “Specific Job Title Interview (Powered by Positive Options)” for the Interview Type.

3 – Make any selection in the “Accept Profile Submission” box and choose a job title. We’ll discuss this setting in detail later, but you can just choose any one of the options here for now.

4 – Enter General Manager for the Job Title and click “Search.” When your list is populated, choose “General Manager.” (Again, for this example, we are using “General Manager” as the Job Title. To appreciate the differences between each competency/theme collection, I recommend that you use the same job title to compare and contrast.)

5 – When the progress bar stops turning, click “Next.”

4.1 Professional Interviews – Specific Job Title Interview (Powered by Positive Options)

You’ll immediately notice that the list of Competencies/Themes is smaller than the General Interview setting.

4.2 Professional Interviews – Specific Job Title Interview (Powered by Positive Options) Competencies/Themes

As previously stated, selecting appropriate screening questions can be challenging. Using the Specific Job Title Interview (Powered by Positive Options) setting provides a way of “honing in” on a core set of Competencies/Themes directly related to the job title you selected. Again it’s important to note that this collection is intended to suggest where to start in creating your screening interview and not an exhaustive or definitive guide. Note that your custom questions can be added.

5. Professional Interviews – Custom Interview

Now let’s take a look at the “Custom” interview type. To build a completely custom interview using our “Commonly Asked Screening Questions” database, choose “Custom.” With this setting, you can create your interview entirely from scratch or use commonly asked screening questions from various themes.

NOTE: Connexion Pointe® does not assume any liability or responsibility for the job-relatedness or outcomes of any kind resulting from the use of our software. Please refer to your end-user agreement for more information.

Let’s use our General Manager job title again to see the difference.

To view the Competency/Themes and questions in the Custom interview collection,

1 – Select “Professional” as the Interview Purpose.”

2 – Select “Custom” for the Interview Type.

3 – Make any selection in the “Accept Profile Submission” box and choose a job title. We’ll discuss this setting in detail later, but you can just choose any one of the options here for now.

4 – Enter General Manager for the Job Title and click “Search.” When your list is populated, choose “General Manager.” (Once more, I’m using “General Manager” as the Job Title. To appreciate the differences between each Competency/Theme collection, we recommend that you use the same job title to compare and contrast.)

5 – Click “Next.”

5.1 Professional Interviews – Custom Interview Competencies/Themes

You’ll immediately notice that the Competency/Theme collection for this setting is the most extensive.

5.2 Professional Interviews – Custom Interview Competencies/Themes

Here is the entire collection of Competencies/Themes for the Custom interview type. As with the other interview types, this collection is intended to offer suggestions of where to start in creating your screening interview and not a definitive guide. Note that custom questions can be added here too!

6. Professional Interviews – Exit Interview

The next professional interview type is the “Exit Interview.” To see this Competency/Theme collection,

1 – select “Professional” for the Interview Purpose.

2 – Select “Exit” for the Interview Type.

3 – In this setting, the Accept Profile and Job Title fields should disappear, so selections for those settings are unnecessary. Just click the “Next” button to advance to the Competency/Themes tab of Screening Interview Builder.

6.1 Professional Exit Interview

This is the Professional Exit Interview Competencies/Themes collection. This Competencies/Theme collection features salient questions to gain insight and feedback from departing associates.

Ok! That covers all of the “Professional” interview types.

7. Student Interviews

Now let’s take a look at Student interviews. Like professional screening interviews, selecting the appropriate questions for screening students can be challenging. Screening Event Builder™ can help. Like Professional Interviews, each Interview Type represents a unique collection of Competencies/Themes and corresponding screening questions from which to choose. There is also space provided for your own custom questions. The first student interview type is Student Admissions.

8. Student Interviews – Admissions

There are four collections of Competency/Themes related to student admissions: Undergrad & MBA, Dental, MBA, and Medical. Choosing one of these settings is required, and it provides a way of “honing in” on a core set of Competencies/Themes that are directly related to the level of study selected. It’s important to note that this collection is intended to suggest where to start in creating your screening interview and not a definitive guide. It should also be noted that there will be considerable overlap between the Competencies/Theme sets.

9. Student Interviews – Undergrad & MBA

Let’s have a look at the Undergrad & MBA setting first.

1 – Select “Student” for Interview Purpose,

2 – Select “Admissions” for Interview Type, and then

3 – Select “Undergrad & MBA” in the Job Title Field,

4 – click the “Next” button to advance to the Competency/Themes tab of the Screening Interview Builder.

9.1 Student Interviews – Undergrad & MBA

Here’s a look at the list of Competencies/Themes up close. To see the definition of each competency, click the blue question mark next to it. Note that many of these Competencies/Themes are self-explanatory, and no further explanation is necessary.

10. Student Interviews – Dental Interviews

The next Competencies/Themes collection is for Dental.

1 – Select “Student” for Interview Purpose,

2 – Select “Admissions” for Interview Type, and then

3 – Select “Dental” in the Job Title Field,

4 – click the “Next” button to advance to the Competencies/Themes tab of the Screening Interview Builder.

10.1 Student Interviews – Dental Interviews

11. Student Interviews – MBA Interview

The next Competencies/Themes collection is a great starting place for an MBA or similar graduate study.

1 – Select “Student” for Interview Purpose,

2 – Select “Admissions” for Interview Type, and then

3 – Select “MBA” in the Job Title Field

4 – click the “Next” button to advance to the Competencies/Themes tab of the Screening Interview Builder.

11.1 Student Interviews – MBA Interview

Here’s a look at the list of Competencies/Themes up close. To see the definition of each competency, click the blue question mark next to it. Again, please note that many of these Competencies/Themes are self-explanatory, and no further definition is necessary.

12. Student Interviews – Medical Interview

The next competency/theme collection is a great starting place for pre-med or other similar study programs.

1 – Select “Student” for Interview Purpose,

2 – Select “Admissions” for Interview Type, and then

3 – Select “Medical” in the Job Title Field

4 – click the “Next” button to advance to the competency/themes tab of Screening Interview Builder™.

12.1 Student Interviews – Medical Interview

13. Student Interviews – Student Exit Interview

The next collection will be helpful for Student Exit Interviews.

1 – Select “Student” for Interview Purpose,

2 – Select “Exit” for Interview Type, and then

3 – Job Title Field should disappear on this setting, so no “Job Title” selection is necessary. Just click the “Next” button to advance to the Competencies/Themes tab of Screening Interview Builder™.

13.1 Student Interviews – Student Exit Interview

This is the Student Exit interview Competencies/Themes collection. This Competencies/Themes collection features salient questions to gain insight and feedback from students departing from educational institutions. To see the definition of each competency, click the blue question mark next to it.

That’s it! Selecting an interview type is a great place to start picking great screening questions for your interviews!

7.Accept Profile Submission Setting

The Accept Profile Submissions setting can have an enormous impact on your screening cost and workflow, so it’s essential to have a solid understanding of what it does. To fully understand the power of the “Accept Profiles” setting, you should also review the “Candidate Engagements” section to fully understand how Candidate Engagements affect the cost of screening with Pointe Savant®.

1. Accept Profile Submissions Setting

The Accept Profile Submissions setting is selected after choosing a purpose for your interview.

1.1 Do Not Accept Profile Submissions Setting

The Accept Profile Submissions drop-down menu has four settings, the first of which is “Do Not Accept Profile Submissions.” This setting means that everyone participating in your screening event must respond to your specifically chosen questions by recording their interview at the Pointe Savant® gateway. No interviews created in the Pointe Profile® application will be accepted.

If you would like to specify the questions being asked to candidates, choose this setting to prevent candidates from submitting their Pointe Profile® interviews.

On the other hand, since Pointe Profile® users have access to the same interview building tool, you should carefully consider accepting interviews created by them. They may not select the same questions you choose, but the interview questions’ overall quality and relevance are comparable.

Note: Candidates cannot create exit interviews.

1.2 Accept Profile Settings

The next three settings are for accepting interviews. Each parameter relaxes the criteria for accepting interviews created by candidates in the Pointe Profile® application.

1.3 Accept Profile Settings = Larger or Smaller Candidate Pool.

This diagram gives a visual example of how these settings function. The “Direct Match Only” setting requires that interviews created in the Pointe Profile® application must have the EXACT job title to be accepted into your screening event. This is the most restrictive setting and will yield the most candidates specifically focused on screening for your chosen job title.

1.4 Direct Match Only” setting – Standard Occupational Code Titles and Categories

Let’s look at an example with some actual job titles. Let’s assume we are screening for a Handwriting Expert and select the “Direct Match Only” setting. Candidate generated interviews must have this EXACT JOB TITLE to be accepted with this setting. Otherwise, they must take the interview prepared by your team.

1.5 “Direct or SOC Title Match” – Standard Occupational Code Titles and Categories

If we selected the “Direct or SOC Title Match” setting, The system would accept exact matches and interviews created for all of the positions indicated within the red square in the photo above. If the candidate does not have one of the titles above, they must take the interview prepared by your team.

1.6 “Direct or SOC Category Match” – Standard Occupational Code Titles and Categories

If we selected the “Direct or SOC Category Match” (this is the least restrictive setting), the system would accept interviews created for all of the positions indicated in the photo above. Our database is based on the Standard Occupational Code – so there may be hundreds of other acceptable titles with this setting.

2. Accept Profile Settings: What Gets Shared

Here’s a chart that illustrates what gets shared at a glance. I’ll describe how each setting affects the amount of information you acquire for your screening events.

3. The Savant Gateway

When a Pointe Savant® user creates an interview (also referred to as a “screening event”), a link is established to give candidates access to the interview.

3.1 The Pointe Savant® Gateway

Potential candidates click the link, and they’re directed to the page pictured above, called the Pointe Savant® Gateway. Everyone participating in a Pointe Savant® screening event must go through the Pointe Savant® Gateway. Candidates must be members of Connexion Pointe® and have an active Pointe Profile® account to participate. If they’re not members, they can sign up here. If they’re already members, they sign in here.

Note: Pointe Profile® accounts established through this gateway are not subject to a signup fee.

4. What does each setting look like in practice?

I’ll go through each “Accept Profile” setting now to give you a step-by-step example of how they work. The Pointe Savant® user chooses this setting while creating interviews in the Screening Event Builder™ module. The Pointe Savant® user has two choices:

Do Not Accept Profile Submissions

Accept Profile Submissions at 1 of 3 levels.

Here’s a step-by-step description of what happens in each of these settings.

4.1 1st Choice – Do Not Accept Profile Submissions

1 – Do Not Accept Profile Submissions means that the Pointe Profile® users must respond to interview questions chosen by the Pointe Savant® user by recording their responses at the Pointe Savant® Gateway. Pointe Profile® users cannot submit an interview they created in the Pointe Profile® application for this screening event.

2 – This is the information that gets shared from the Profile user to the Pointe Savant® user.

Note: Each time a candidate records their interview at the Pointe Savant® Gateway for this screening event, the number of Remaining Candidate Engagements will decrease by 1. Please make sure you have an adequate reserve of Candidate Engagements to accommodate your candidates!

4.2 Savant Interview Link

When a potential candidate clicks the Pointe Savant® Screening Event Link,

4.3 Pointe Savant® Gateway

They are brought to the Savant Gateway, where they must sign up or sign in.

4.4 Pointe Savant® Interview

After signing in or signing up, they’re directed to this page where they can start the Pointe Savant® Interview.

4.5 Pointe Savant® Interview

The interview starts, and the candidate answers the questions selected by the Pointe Savant® user. When the interview process is complete, several things happen.

4.6 Candidate Screening List

This candidates’ name appears on the Candidate Screening List. Their name appears in BLACK TEXT, as illustrated in the photo above.

4.7 Remaining Engagements

The number of ‘Remaining Engagements” decreases by “1”. There are 30 complimentary engagements in every Pointe Savant® account when it opens. More engagements can be purchased (see Purchasing Engagements).

4.8 Screening Event Paused

Note: When the number of Remaining Engagements reaches -0-, Candidates are also prevented from recording interviews or submitting their Pointe Profile® interviews until more engagements are purchased.

4.9 Profile User Categorized as Paid

The candidates’ name appears in the “View Engagements” window and is classified as “Paid.”

4.10 What Gets Shared – Savant Interview

The candidate’s interview is saved in the screening event.

4.11 What Gets Shared – Photo & Contact Info

The candidates’ photo and contact information are shared with the Pointe Savant® user.

4.12 What Gets Shared – Resume

The candidates’ resume is shared with the Pointe Savant® user. When the “View My Resume” link is clicked, the resume opens in a new tab or window.

That’s it! That’s what happens when the “Do Not Accept Profile Submissions” setting is selected.

4.13 These Steps Are Identical

This is a great time to mention that the steps you just saw for the “Do Not Accept Profile Submissions” setting are the same when the Profile user gets to the gateway and clicks “Sign Up.” The only difference is that the user must complete a sign-up form and upload a photo and resume.

5. Accept Profile Settings

Take a look at the photo above at numbers 1, 2, and 3. Even though there are 3 Accept Profile Submission settings, the steps to execute them are the same. Take a look at #4 above and note that the information that gets shared is precisely the same for all three settings.

You may notice that a LOT MORE information is potentially shared with these three settings than the “Do Not Accept Profile Submissions” setting. As previously described, this additional information serves as an incentive to allow candidates to submit a screening interview created in the Pointe Profile application.

Here again, is a step-by-step guide and what gets shared:

5.1 Pointe Savant® Gateway

1 – A potential candidate clicks the link and is directed to

2 – the Pointe Savant® Gateway where they must sign up or sign in.

5.2 Members Only

The Accept Profile Submissions setting applies to members only. As I mentioned in step 5.12, non-members NEVER HAVE ACCESS TO “THE BRING YOUR OWN INTERVIEW PAGE.” (When they sign up, they’re taken directly to the interview.)

5.3 BYOI Page

Once signed in, the candidate is brought to the Bring Your Own Interview (BYOI) page. This is where existing Pointe Profile® users/members have the OPTION to submit an interview they created in the Pointe Profile application along with a lot more video-based screening content than if they elect to take the Pointe Savant® interview. I’ll explain each option.

5.4 “Take Their Interview Option.”

If the Pointe Profile® user/member does not feel confident that their own interview will win them the position they’re seeking, they can opt to take the Pointe Savant® user’s interview. When they click the “Go For It” button, steps 4.2 to 4.12 will happen as previously described.

5.5 Bring Your Own Interview (BYOI)

If the Pointe Profile® user/member has an eligible interview recorded and ready to share, they can click the “Bring My Own Interview” button.

5.6 Choose Your Own Interview

The BYOI submission page appears. The Pointe Profile® user/member clicks the drop-down menu and selects one interview to be submitted.

Note: Interviews that don’t match the screening criteria do not appear in this drop-down list.

5.7 Confirm Interview Submission

1 – The The Pointe Profile® user/member confirms their interview selection,

2 – the system thanks them for their submission.

Now I’ll show you what happens next.

5.8 Candidate Screening List

The Pointe Profile® user’s name appears in the Candidate Screening List. It displays in BLUE TEXT. The blue text indicates that this is a Pointe Profile® submission, and the questions they selected are likely to be different from those chosen by the Pointe Savant® user.

5.9 Remaining Engagements Unchanged

Because this is a submission of an interview created in the Pointe Profile® application, there is no “pre-interview” assessed to the Pointe Savant® user to accept it. The number of “Remaining Engagements” does not change.

5.10 View Engagements

The Pointe Profile® user’s name appears in the “View Engagements” window and is classified as “Free.”

5.11 What Gets Shared – Profile Interview

The interview created by the Pointe Profile® user is saved in the screening event, where it can be evaluated, and comments about the candidate can be saved.

5.12 What Gets Shared – Photo & Contact Info

The Pointe Profile® user’s photo and contact info are saved in the screening event.

5.13 What Gets Shared – Resume

The Pointe Profile® user’s resume is saved in the screening event. When the “View My Resume” link is clicked, the resume opens in a new tab or window.

5.14 What Gets Shared – Experience, References & Insight Playlists

The Experience, References & Insight Playlists are saved in the screening event. These are short presentations created by the candidate with PowerPoint®, Keynote®, or any number of other applications and presented here in video format.

1 – Experience playlist with videos

2 – References playlist with videos

3 – Insight playlist with videos

These are not shared when the Profile user records their interview at the Pointe Savant® Gateway.

NOTE: Content for these playlists is optional and not required for Pointe Profile® users.

5.15 What Gets Shared – Previous AskMe Questions

Previous Pointe AskMe™ questions appear on the “Public” sub-tab of the AskMe tab. These are not shared when the Pointe Profile® user records their interview at the Pointe Savant® Gateway.

That’s it! As you can see, accepting Pointe Profile® interviews can be a great way to lower your screening cost while maintaining quality and gathering additional relevant screening data!

8.Selecting a Job Title

This tutorial will demonstrate selecting a job title for your Pointe Savant® screening event.

1. Select an Interview Type

Now Let’s select a Job Title. We’ll begin by choosing an Interview Purpose and Interview Type.

1. For this example, We’re building a “Professional” interview. We will choose “Specific Job Title Interview (Powered by Positive Options)” and build an interview that targets a specific job title.

2. Choose any setting here (just for now).

We discussed the “Accept Profile Submission” in another section. For this tutorial, you can select any one of the settings.

3. Job Title Search Method

After selecting “Specific Job Title Interview (Powered by Positive Options).” The “Job Title Search window” appears. The selection process is based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system to cover as many job titles as possible. There are two ways to search for a suitable job title.

3.1 Title Search Field

The first and simplest option is to use the automated Job Title Search feature.

1. Select the Job Title Search tab.

2. Enter a job title in the Job Title Search field. (This field accepts text and numerical values.)

3. Click “Search.” The list available and similar titles will be displayed below the search field.

3.2 Search for a Specific Job Title (continued)

Let’s assume our goal is to build an interview to screen candidates for a check out clerk position at a retail store. To get started, we will enter “Retail Clerk” as our job title.

1. enter “Retail Clerk” in the field and

2. click “Search” to view a list of available titles.

3. Select a suitable title from the list. If no appropriate title appears in the list, go to the next step. The list above does not indicate a position that matches our check-out clerk position, so let’s try again.

4. A progress bar appears while the system retrieves your selection.

5. Some lists may be several pages. Use the controls here, along with the scroll bar on the right, to navigate and view the pages.

6. The total number of titles in your search results is indicated here.

3.3 Search for a Specific Job Title (continued)

Our search for “Retail Clerk” did not yield a matching title. Try another similar job title if necessary. In the above example, notice we entered “Retail Cashier” instead of “Retail Clerk.”

3.4 Choose an exact match or a similar title.

We see on this list that the “Check Out Cashier” job title appears. This is a close-enough match for our desired position.

1. Click the “Check Out Cashier” title in the list to select it.

2. A progress bar appears as the system loads a Competency/Themes set for your selection. Note that your selection is indicated in the top right corner of the window.

3. When the system is ready, the “Next” button becomes available. Click “Next” to go to the next step.

Let’s take a quick look at another option for locating a suitable job title.

4. Searching with the SOC Job Titles tab

As mentioned earlier, “SOC” stands for Standard Occupational Classification. The SOC system is listing job titles recognized by the US Dept. of Labor and organized into 24 categories. Pointe Savant® users familiar with using the SOC database can use this feature to find a suitable job title. To get started, select the “SOC Job Titles” tab. Once selected, we’ll choose a SOC category from the drop-down menu.

4.1 Choose a SOC Category

Select SOC Category. If you’re not sure which category to choose, select a category that closely describes the position you are looking for. Remember, you can always go back and change your category and search again. Using our Check Out Clerk example, let’s choose “Sales and Related Occupations” – a category that basically describes the job title we are looking for.

4.2 Choose a SOC title.

Next, we’ll choose a SOC Title from the drop-down menu.

4.3 SOC Title Drop-Down Menu

Scroll down the list of available titles and choose a group that may contain your desired title. For this example, we selected “Cashiers.” If you do not find a suitable group on this list, consider changing your SOC Category selection and searching again.

4.4 Select a Job Title.

Now we’ll select a Job Title from the drop-down menu.

4.5 Job Title Drop-Down Menu

Finally, we’ll locate a suitable title in the “Job Title” drop-down menu. For our example, we selected “Check Out Cashier.”

4.6 Selections complete

After all of the selections are made, your screen should look similar to this. If you’re satisfied with your choices, click “Next.” If not, revise your search by selecting a different SOC Category, and then “drill down” to a suitable title in the SOC Title and Job Title lists.

NOTE: These three fields are automatically filled in when you use the Job Title Search method. Now that our interview settings are complete, let’s click “Next” and move on to selecting interview questions!

9.Selecting Interview Questions

This tutorial will demonstrate how to select interview questions for your Pointe Savant® screening event”.

1. Selecting Interview Questions: Mandatory Questions

Every Connexion Pointe® interview begins with two of the most commonly asked questions:

1. “Tell me a little bit about yourself,” and

2. “Tell me about your work experience and responsibilities in your current or previous job.”

Having these questions at the beginning of every interview gives hiring managers or stakeholders a consistent, relevant, and manageable introduction to each candidate while offering a clear pathway forward to explore and engage further if desired. These questions cannot be revised, re-ordered, removed, or replaced in any interview.

3. Adding Custom Questions

When a user creates a question that’s not in our database, we refer to it as a “Custom Question.” Custom questions can be created, saved, and added to any screening interview. Previously created custom questions can be added to interviews by selecting “Custom Questions” from the “Competencies” list and adding them to the “Selected Questions” list as previously described.

Note: Custom questions are linked to the job-title for which they were created. For example, if you create a custom question for an “Accountant” position, it will not appear as an available custom question for a “Cashier” position. Custom questions must be added and saved separately for each job title.

To begin, click the “Add a Custom Question” button as illustrated above.

3.1 Adding Custom Questions

The “Add Custom Question” dialogue box appears. To cancel adding a custom question, click the small “X” in the dialogue box’s top right corner.

To add this question to another interview, select “Custom Question” in the “Competencies/Themes” list, select the question in the “Available Questions” list, then drag and drop the question in the “Selected Questions” list as previously described.

3.5 Adding a Translation to a Custom Question

If an interview does not have a secondary language, custom questions are saved in English. But what if a user wants to use the question in a 2-language interview later? With Pointe Savant®, adding translations of your saved custom questions is easy. Let’s assume that you want to make being bilingual a requirement for this position, and we want to use the custom question we created last time.

1. If an English custom question is added to a 2-language interview and needs a translation, the prompt in the photo above appears.

2. To add a translation, click the “OK” button.

3.6 Add Custom Question Translation Window

1. The “Add Custom Question” dialog box appears.

2. The language of the needed translation is indicated in the language field.

3. The English version of the question is shown here and can be copied to your clipboard for pasting into a translation program like Google Translate or a similar preferred program.

3.7 Using a Translation Program For Custom Questions

For this example, we copied the question to the clipboard and pasted it in Google Translate.

Note: While simple questions can be easily translated this way, it should be noted that translation programs are not perfect and do not always offer the best word choice or nuance for every situation. I strongly recommend having translations reviewed by a professional before including them in your interviews.

3.8 Save your Custom Question Translation

1. Type or paste the translation in this field. As previously stated, your question cannot exceed the 255 character limit.

2. If you make a mistake, you can click “Reset” or close the window by clicking the “X” in the top right corner.

3. After your translation is entered in the field, click “Add” to save it.

3.9 2-Language custom questions are displayed in green text.

Your custom question and its translation are now saved in the database. Dual language custom questions are indicated in GREEN TEXT.

Note: The “black or green” text color only applies to your custom questions. All of the Pointe Savant® library questions have been professionally translated and are ready to be added to your 2-language interviews.

4. Remaining Questions Indicator

When the Remaining questions indicator is at “0”, no more selections can be made. To change any questions, one or more selections must be deleted from the selected question list first.

4.1 Maximum Allowed

Attempting to exceed the maximum number of questions will prompt the following alert message. Click OK to close the window. Let’s move on to scheduling our screening event.

10.Scheduling Screening Events

2. The candidate can repeat the question twice during an interview by clicking “Repeat Question.” After two uses, the “Repeat Question becomes unavailable for the interview duration.

3. If the candidate does not need or use the entire 2 minutes, they can advance to the next question by clicking the “Next Question” button. The minimum response to any question is 30 seconds.

4. Important: Candidates can cancel the interview before the third question and still be eligible to take the interview later. If the candidate clicks the “cancel” button on or after the 3rd question, The candidate is disqualified from taking the interview.

3. Accepting Pointe Profile® Submissions.

If you chose to accept Pointe Profile® submissions, you’d choose one of these settings. Be sure to check out the video at the top of this page for a visual description and the full section devoted to this topic. This is just a quick review of accepting profile submissions.

3.1 Bring Your Own Interview (BYOI) Welcome page.

1. If the candidate does not have an appropriate Pointe Profile® interview, they can elect to take the interview prepared by the Pointe Savant® user (at the Pointe Savant® users’ expense) by clicking the “Go For It” button. (see step 17).

3.2 Using the Bring Your Own Interview (BYOI) button.

This happens when the candidate chooses to submit an eligible interview to a Pointe Savant® screening event. Let’s assume you’re screening candidates for a “Ceramic Designer” position, and you’ve chosen to accept Pointe Profile® submissions that have a direct matching job title. An interested candidate named Profile Eighty sees your posting and clicks the interview link. Profile Eighty is a Pointe Profile® user and has already created an interview for this exact position, and clicks the “Bring My Own Interview” button.

12.Evaluating Candidates

It’s time to evaluate the candidates that participated in your screening event! This magic happens in the Screening Event Workspace of the Pointe Savant® dashboard.

1. The Screening Event Workspace

1.1 Adjusting the Workspace

With Pointe Savant®, we can adjust the workspace for more comfortable viewing and make more room to work. Your screen should be similar to the photo above.

1.2 Hide Event Manager Column

Some areas not in use can be hidden to make the Screening Event Workspace easier to use and view. We don’t need to see the list of current screening events, so let’s move it out of the way for now. Locate the “Event Manager” pane and click the bracket/arrow icon in the top right corner to hide it.

1.3 Event Manager Hidden

Your screen should look similar to the photo above now. Notice that all of the columns in the Screening Event Workspace have the bracket/arrow icon and can also be hidden from view if necessary.

2. Screening Event Workflow

Here’s the workflow for screening candidates in Pointe Savant®:

1. After taking an interview or submitting an interview at the Pointe savant® Gateway, participating candidate names appear in the Candidate Screening List. Regular Staff assigned to the event will evaluate the candidates here.

2. After evaluations, the Lead Staff assigned to the event makes the final decision for each candidate by moving them to one of the three lists.

3. Candidate Screening List

1. When a candidate takes your interview or submits one of their own, their name appears here in the Candidate Screening List. Candidates taking the interview or submitting their Pointe Profile® interview can be identified by text color.

3.1 Candidate Screening List (Black Text – Additional Fee)

The names of Non-members who signed up for Pointe Profile® and members who opted to take your interview appear in BLACK TEXT. The black text indicates that this candidate responded to the questions chosen by the Pointe Savant® user.

3.2 Candidate Screening List (Blue Text – No Additional Fee)

Candidates that submitted their own interviews appear in BLUE TEXT.

3.3 Candidate Screening List (Blue Text – No Additional Fee)

Notice that each name in the Candidate Screening List has two icons next to it. These are the Lead Staff Evaluation (Gold Key) and the Regular Staff Evaluation icons. The Lead Staff can’t do anything until a Regular Staff evaluation has been completed with a recommendation and notes.

4. Regular Staff Candidate Evaluation icon.

The Regular Staff Candidate Evaluation icon is visible to everyone assigned to the screening event. The Regular Staff begins their evaluation of each candidate by clicking the Regular Staff Candidate Evaluation icon.

5. The Candidate Evaluation Window.

The Candidate Evaluation window opens. It has four tabs, Candidate Info, Evaluation, Comments, and Pointe AskMe™.

6. Candidate Evaluation Window.

1. The “Candidate Info” tab has basic contact information,

2. An email link to the candidate. (Note: This email function will be emailed from the email client on your computer – It is not sent, saved, or stored by our server).

3. a link to view or print the candidate’s resume. Some recruiters prefer viewing a candidate’s PDF resume before looking at any other candidate attributes. With Pointe Savant®, viewing a candidate’s resume is easy. Click the “Resume” tab, and the resume opens in a new tab or window, where it can be viewed, printed, and shared.

6.1 Candidate Evaluation Window.

The next tab is the “Evaluation” tab, where the candidates’ interview responses can be reviewed and assigned a rating of 1 to 5 stars.

1. Select a question by clicking it.

2. The candidate’s response to the question appears in the video player. Controls are available for full-screen video display.

6.2 Rate the Candidate’s Response

1. Rate the candidate’s answer by clicking a star. Higher scores are better.

2. If the staff member is unsure of what the interview question is seeking competency/ behavioral information, click the blue question mark to display the competency definition

6.3 View Competency Definition

When a staff member clicks the blue question mark next to each interview question, the competency definition is displayed.

6.4 Candidate Videos. Interview, Experience, References, Insight Sub-Tabs

If the candidate submitted their own interview for your screening event, the optional Experience, References, Insight playlists might have additional content available. Each tab has the video playlist’s name and indicates how many videos are contained in the list.

NOTE: The Experience, Reference, and Insight tabs are entirely optional at the candidate’s discretion. Content for these lists is only available Pointe Profile® submitted interviews. This content can’t be scored or rated and is provided as additional information only. The staff is not restricted from entering notes about the video content.

1. Experience – previous work experience can be presented in video format.

2. References – video testimonials of coworkers, bosses, networking contacts, and clients past or present.

3. Insight – unique or unrelated professional characteristics in video format. This candidate might be a cashier by day and an experienced helicopter pilot on the weekends or a highly energetic Zumba instructor three times per week.

7. Asking follow-up questions.

1. The Connexion Pointe® platform offers a staggering amount of screening information in an easy-to-use and intuitive format. However, it is impossible to predict what questions may arise as a result of the information presented. This is why we created Pointe AskMe™. Pointe AskMe™ is similar to a built-in email client. It’s a great way to ask candidate follow-up questions without incurring additional expenses or scheduling an in-person or telephone interview. Pointe AskMe™ is also a fantastic way to catch a glimpse of a candidate’s written communication skills and response habits.

2. The Pointe AskMe™ tab has three sub-tabs: “Send,” “Received,” and “Public.”

“Send”- (pictured above) is where new follow-up questions can be sent to the candidate. Enter your question, select a deadline time and date, and click send. The candidate receives a notification in their Pointe Profile® dashboard. If the candidate does not meet the deadline, the system deletes the question from the candidate’s dashboard, and a response is not accepted.

7.1 Pointe AskMe@ question sent indicator.

A red “A” appears next to the candidate’s name, indicating a question has been sent.

7.2 Pointe AskMe@ response received indicator.

When a candidate responds to your question, a blue “R” appears next to the candidates’ name.

7.3 Receiving responses to follow-up questions.

The response to your follow-up question will appear on the “Received” sub-tab. This is also where questions from others in your organization are aggregated.

7.4 Asking follow-up questions.

Since it is possible a candidate was previously asked a similar question, the Connexion Pointe® platform offers candidates the ability to make previous Pointe AskMe™ questions and their responses available to recruiters. – If the candidate previously responded to questions from other organizations and wants to share those responses, they will appear here on the “Public” tab.

7.5 Candidate Evaluation Window.

When the Regular Staffers have reviewed all of the available screening information,

1. It’s time to submit a recommendation to a Lead Staff member by selecting one of the radial checkboxes in the “My Recommendation” pane.

2. Savant encourages accurate record-keeping concerning candidate contacts. Copious notes are not only good business; they are the law.

3. If notes are not entered for a candidate, an alert dialogue box will inform the user of the error.

Close the dialogue box by clicking “OK” or clicking the “X” in the top right corner

4. Once a selection is made, the staff member clicks the “Submit” button at the bottom right corner. The “Submit” button appears only on the “Recommendation/Notes” tab.

Note: There is no limit to how many times a candidate can be screened. Once a recommendation is submitted, the notes and recommendations are permanently recorded and can not be altered, edited, or deleted.

The Lead Staff member also has access to the Regular Staff functions and can also enter notes with a recommendation.

8. Lead Staff Candidate Evaluation icon.

After staff members submit recommendations, a Lead Staff member can review them and make a final decision on whether to “Advance,” “Save,” or “Reject” each candidate. This process is done using the “Lead Staff Evaluation” function. The Lead Staff Evaluation icon is only visible to the account owner and the one person assigned as the Lead Staff person on the screening event. This icon is never visible to Regular Staff. After Regular Staffers have made recommendations for each candidate, the Lead Staff member begins reviewing the ratings and recommendations by clicking the Lead Staff Evaluation icon.

9. Lead-Staff Review window.

The Lead Staff Review window opens.

1. The Lead Staffer can see the date of the evaluation,

2. The Regular Staff member’s name.

3. The green dot indicates a recommendation to advance the candidate to the next step in the screening process. (A yellow dot indicates saving the candidate for later, and a red dot indicates a recommendation to reject the candidate.)

4. Ratings of the candidates’ responses. On the first question (“Tell me a little about yourself.”), the rating was 5 stars, which is the highest rating possible. On question 6, regarding resources, a lower score of 2 stars was given.

9.1 Lead-Staff evaluation.

1. The Lead Staffer can review notes entered by the Regular Staffer by clicking the “Notes” tab.

2. Finally, the Lead Staffer makes the final decision to Advance, Save, or Reject the candidate by clicking on the icons. The candidate’s name is moved to the list chosen.

9.2 Screening is complete!

When all of the candidates have been moved to a list, the Screening Event Workspace might look similar to this. Let’s take a quick look at what each list represents.

9.3 The Advance List

This list is reserved for exceptional candidates that have an excellent chance of being offered the position. When the event concludes, they will receive the “Candidate Advancing Message,” we composed when creating the screening event.

9.4 The Save List

This list is reserved for candidates who will not be offered this position but have made a good impression and may be suitable for future positions. Expect the majority of your screened candidates will be on this list. When the event concludes, they will receive the “Candidate Save-For-Later Message,” we composed when creating the screening event.

9.5 The Reject List

This list is reserved for candidates that have made a poor impression and should be avoided at all costs for current or future positions. When the event concludes, they will receive the “Candidate Non-Acceptance Message,” we composed when creating the screening event.

9.6 Purge Rejected Candidates button

The Reject List works in conjunction with the Purge Rejected Candidates button. The effectiveness of this function is increased as your database grows over time. Before screening candidates, staff members can click this button, and any candidates that were previously rejected will be moved to the “Reject” list automatically. This helps prevent repeated re-screening of unsuitable candidates. Lead staff members can review everyone on the “Reject ” list and potentially change their status, offering a mechanism to avoid an organization’s automatic or perpetual rejection. Candidates on the “Advance” and “Save” lists are also eligible for review.

9.7 Confirm Purge Rejected Candidates

When the “Purge Rejected Candidates” button is clicked, an alert box opens to confirm your selection.

10. Screening Event expires.

13.Archiving Events

When your event is canceled or expires, candidates can no longer take your interview or make submissions to your event. If a candidate clicks the link to an expired event, they’ll be allowed to sign in or sign up and then be redirected to a screen similar to this one:

16. Archive your event

Now it’s time to wrap up the event with the”Archive Event” button. When your event expires, the blue “Archive Event” button becomes available.

With this function,

A. candidates will be tagged and entered into the Evaluated Candidate database,

B. Automatically notified of their status about the screening event (via Advance, Save-for-Later, Non-Acceptance messages)

C. documents can be created for the screening event in PDF format for printing or digital storage.

16.1 All candidates must be evaluated to archive.

It’s important to note that the function can not be executed until all candidates have been evaluated.

16.2 Confirm Archive

The “Confirm Archive” window opens.

16.3 View Messages

Note: The messages only be viewed! They can not be edited here!

16.4 Confirm Archive

17. Evaluated Candidates database.

The candidates and their screening event details are now saved in the “Evaluated Candidates” database. To view them, select the “Candidate Resources” tab and then select the “Evaluated Candidates” sub-tab.

17.1 Search and review candidates at a glance.

In the Evaluated Candidate database, you have quick access to review the relevant information on everyone you’ve screened. Let’s take a look at one of our candidates’ Candidate History. Each Candidate History can be accessed by clicking the “Candidate History” icon next to their name.

17.2 Candidate History – Candidate Info tab.

The Candidate History window has three tabs. The first tab is the “Candidate Info” tab, which contains all of the candidates’ most recent contact information. If the candidate has submitted multiple resumes, those documents are aggregated here.

17.3 Candidate History Window – Evaluations tab.

All of the candidates’ evaluations are aggregated on the “Evaluations” tab and can be sorted by date, result, or by the staff member who screened them.

17.4 Candidate History Window – Pointe AskMe™ tab

All of the candidates’ Pointe AskMe™ questions are aggregated on the “Pointe Ask Me™” tab. An important feature is that new questions can be initiated from here, making it simple to reconnect with previously screened candidates for further considerations.

17.5 Adjust candidate status.

You can easily change any candidate’s status in your database to keep your team in the know!

18. Pointe Savant® makes it easy.

That’s it! Pointe Savant® makes managing your screening events, creating interviews, evaluating candidates, and keeping excellent records easy!

Now I’ll show you some real-life examples.

2. Cancel Event Example 1 – All candidates have been evaluated.

Let’s assume that we’d like to cancel an open screening event, and our Screening Event Workspace looks like the photo above. All of the candidates have been evaluated and placed on the “Advance,” “Save,” and “Reject” lists.

16.Sorting and Finding Screening Events

After a screening event concludes, it may be necessary to review candidates, notes, recommendations, and outcomes later. Pointe Savant® has a “Restore All Lists” function that allows you to reconstruct your screening event lists to their last state before canceling or archiving the event.

1. Navigating to different screening events.

Navigating to your current or past screening events in Pointe Savant® is easy. Under the “Events” tab and the “Screening Events,” sub-tab is the “Screening Event List Filter” for the screening event list. You can use this drop-down menu to display one of the five choices exclusively.

1.1 Screening Event List Columns.

You can also sort your screening events by event number, position, opening date, or closing date.

For this example, let’s use the screening event from our canceling event tutorial. The last state of our three lists before archiving or canceling the screening event is illustrated in the photo above.

1.1 Restore All Lists

After the screening event has been canceled or archived, all participating candidates are moved to the Evaluated Candidates database.

If we select the event, all of the lists will be empty. We can restore the lists to their last state before canceling or archiving the event using the “Restore All Lists” function.

1.2 Restore All Lists

Following the evaluations, pages are displaying all of the notes entered regarding the candidate. This process repeats to show all of the candidates participating in the screening event.

Files can be exported to illustrate each list individually. The steps are the same as exporting all lists.

18.Open Submissions Database

The Connexion Pointe® platform offers candidates the ability to create job-related screening interviews that can be shared with organizations. We’ve demonstrated how candidates can submit their interviews for screening events; now, we’ll cover how you can accept Pointe Profile® interviews – even if you’re not currently screening. When a candidate sends you a link that’s not related to a current screening event, we refer to it as an “Open Submission.”

1. Step-by-Step: Open Submissions

An interested candidate sends you a Pointe Profile® link. It could be via email, text, or in a resume, etc. (If you are already logged in to your Pointe Savant® account, go to step 1.5)

1.1 Pointe Profile® Gateway | Sign IN

If you are already logged in, please skip to step 1.5 and follow the steps from there.

4. Add Candidate to Open Screening

The second icon next to each candidate’s name in the open submissions candidate list is the “Add Candidate to Open Screening” button. Here’s how it works.

4.1 Add Candidate to Open Screening

4.2 Add Candidate to Open Screening

2. The candidates’ names should appear in the Candidate Screening List for the event.

3. If it does not appear, click the “Refresh” button at the bottom of the window.

The system also records the submission as “Free” in the View Engagements window.

4.15 Add Candidate from Open Submissions

From this point, the candidate can be evaluated just like every other participant in your screening event.
