Avionté Web Platform Overview & Definitions

Updated September 25, 2023 16:48

This article is designed to help first-time Avionté Web Platform users identify items in the application. There are a variety of reference articles available in the Avionté Web Platform section of the knowledge base including an Avionté Web Platform Overview, Avionté Web Platform Error Messages, and a specific knowledge base section dedicated to each Avionté Web Platform section.

Avionte Web Platform is organized into modules - the Recruiter module, the Job board module, and the Talent module.

Recruiter Module

The Recruiter module is the base of the platform, Avionté Web Platform featuring the controls today's staffing recruiter uses to manage contacts, talent, and orders. The Recruiter Module is organized into distinct sections - Talent, Order, Company, Contact, Posting, and Admin.

Recruiter Module details

Section	Description
Talent	The Recruiter module's Talent section provides a convenient, comprehensive view of employees available for work. Recruiters can quickly access information about an individual such as skills, location, and current status.
Order	When a customer requests that a staffing agency fill a position, the staffing agency creates an order in Avionté Web Platform . The order includes information about the position: desired qualifications, position description, salary range, hiring company contact information, etc. Avionté Web Platform does not yet have the ability to create or manage temp orders or positions, however, an Avionté Web Platform job board is able to post temp positions created and managed from the Avionté core application.
Company	Manage information about a customer in the Recruiter module's Company section.
Contact	The Contact section is used to manage information about company contacts.
Posting	Once an order has been created, a user with Job board publishing permission is able to view the order in the Posting section. A job posting can be created to fulfill the order's requirements. The Posting section displays a list of orders, filters to refine the list of orders, the ability to create multiple job posts, and the ability to see how many live posts already exist for an order.
Admin	The Admin section is used to configure multiple features in Avionté Web Platform . Through Admin, a recruiter can configure permissions, Talent Module settings, and job boards.

Job Board Module

Though the job board has its own module, it is actually created in the Recruiter module in the Admin section (described above). Avionté Web Platform's Job Board provides a convenient, comprehensive view of all jobs that are currently available to job seekers.

Using Avionté Web Platform - Recruiter Module

The Recruiter Module is the base of the Avionté Web Platform, featuring the controls today's staffing recruiter uses to manage contacts, talent, and orders. Many functions, such as adding Talent, adding a contact, and adding an order, are similar from section to section. The Add Talent section is highlighted in this Getting Started guide as an example as to how the other sections similarly work.

Add Talent

Talent can be added into Avionté Web Platform by a resume parse (auto-gathering of information from a document) or by manually adding the information.

Add Talent

For either method, open the Add talent wizard by selecting the from the top of the Avionté Web Platform Talent window in your web browser.

In the mobile view, Talent can be added by clicking the button. Select Add Talent from the drop-down menu.

Parse from resume

Resumes uploaded into Avionté Web Platform can be automatically parsed into the system.

Parse from resume

To parse a resume through the Add talent functionality:

Click to open Add Talent.
Click to access files on your computer.
Browse for the resume.
Click on the resume file.
Click Open.
Click Parse Resume. The information from the resume is now available under the Talent's record.

The Avionté Web Platform resume parser is a centralized, cloud-based service that provides multilingual parsing in more than 25 languages and parses from more than 50 different formats. The resume parser does not require a separate web service setup; one web service is set up in the cloud for all customers to use.

The resume parser currently takes one request at a time from a particular client and it can handle multiple clients at a time. However, the parser cannot take a request to parse multiple resumes at once from the same client application. Any bulk processing can be done through core application's bulk resume processor.

The Resume link on the Talent card, , will display the most recently parsed resume.

If a parse is successful, the document is saved under Talent > Profile Quicklink > Documents. The resume will display a "(parsed)" label.

Parse Fail

If a parse fails, even though the resume information wasn't gathered and organized into the system, the document will still be saved under Talent > Profile Quicklink > Documents. The resume will display a "(failed)" label.

Parse Button

The Parse button becomes available for an uploaded document that has not yet been parsed or was temporarily unable to parse. Mouse-over the Documents area in Talent > Profile to reveal the Parse button.

Replacing Existing Information during a Parse

If a new resume is added in Avionté Web Platform while another already exists, the newly parsed information will replace all of the Talent's existing resume information except for the Talent's name and email address.

Note: Any skill codes existing in the core application's Employee record will not be removed during an Avionté Web Platform Talent parse.

Replace existing information during a Parse

A warning message displays when any parse request is made.

If the name on the replacement resume does not match the name in the Talent's record, a warning message explains that the Talent's name and email address will not be replaced during the parse.

The resume parser must detect a first name, last name and e-mail address when parsing the resume. If one of these fields is not detected, then an error message will display.

Note: There are certain values that are not considered for a first name, last name and contact method. Values which could be considered a common country, county, town or occupations are not extracted as names. This is to prevent incorrectly extracting the previous mentioned values. On those occasions, when we parse the document, the parse engine would look for a suitable alternative. If a first name, last name or e-mail address is not found, the resume parse will fail.

Manual Entry

Manual entry allows a recruiter to quickly capture basic information (name, address, etc.) for a talent card if a resume is unavailable. Additional information may be added to the talent card later. Use of the resume parse functionality is recommended over manual entry.

Manual Entry

Select Manual entry from the top of the wizard.
Enter the talent's first name in the First name field.
Enter the talent's last name in the Last name field.
Select a contact method from the Contact method drop-down menu. Once a contact method is chosen, the subsequent field will become available.

Enter the details for the contact method in the (email address, phone number, etc..) field.
Select Add to add the talent to Avionté Web Platform in the form of a talent card.
A clickable notification will display allowing the recruiter to go straight into the detailed profile of the talent where more details can be added

Add a Company

A new company (referred to as "Customer" in the Core application) can be created in the Company section of the Recruiter module. Once a company is created in the Avionté Web Platform, its data is bridged over to the Customer section of the Core application.

Add a Company

Data can also be edited in the Company section including location information, contact addresses, and hierarchy of departments within the company.

Set up a Job Board

Though the job board has its own module, it is actually created in the Recruiter module in the Admin section. The Admin Job boards configuration page contains properties controlling the functionality and display of Avionté Web Platform job boards. Each Job board has a Job board card in the Avionté Web Platform Admin section. Saving a new card will create a new board, and removing a card will delete a job board. This article outlines the properties available for customization using the Job boards section.

Set up a Job Board

To use the Job boards function, users must be enabled through the Admin Permissions feature or be a Super User in the Core application.

The short video below walks through the fundamental setup and use of the Talent Module.

Application Process Video

Application Process Video

Application Process

To apply for a job posting, an applicant clicks Apply now from a job board.

Application Process

Creation of an account with login credentials is not required to apply for a job, however, a candidate must provide contact information including first name, last name, and an email address. When providing contact information, the candidate does have the option to be "remembered" (cookies) by the browser for a later return. A resume is not required to apply for a position.

In the simplified application process, the candidate applies to a particular job posting rather than making themselves generally available for hire.

Branding and color scheme of the applicant site follow the configuration of the job board that the job seeker is applying from.

Step 1 Personal Information

Personal information collects a candidate's name and contact methods and offers the option to be remembered by the application when returning.

Step 1 Personal Information

*Required

	Field	Description
	*First name	The applicant’s first name.
	Middle name	The applicant’s middle name.
	*Last name	The applicant’s last name.
	*Email address	The applicant must enter a valid email address (e.g., username@domain.com).
	Phone number	The applicant’s phone number (e.g., 4015550195, 401-555-0195, (401) 555-0195, or 1-401-555-0195).
	Remember me	If checked, the system will remember the applicant's personal information for subsequent applications from this device. Features a warning to not use if the candidate is using a public computer or device If Remember me was selected, the candidate's first name displays in the upper-right corner for subsequent applications. The applicant's name may not appear on some smaller screen sizes Remember me functionality expires when: The cookie expires (valid for 14 days) The Exit link is clicked on the Thank you page The Not me link is clicked. Clicking "Not me" returns the user to the Personal Information page.

If the required first name, last name, and email are completed, the applicant may click Next to proceed to the “Upload resume” page.

Step 2 Upload resume

The applicant may upload a resume (optional). Applicants can browse for the file, or simply drag and drop it into the resume area. Applicants can also copy and paste resume text into the resume area. If the applicant doesn’t want to upload a resume, the applicant can click Skip & submit application to proceed to the final acknowledgement page.

Step 2 Upload resume

Accepted file types (up to 30MB)

.doc - a Microsoft Word format including:

Word for DOS
Word for Windows 1 and 2; Word 3 and 4 for Mac OS
Word 5 and Word 95 for Windows; Word 6 for Mac OS
Word 97 and later for Windows; Word 98 and later for Mac OS

.docx - a Microsoft Word format available in:

Word 2007 and later for Windows
Word 2008 and later for OS X
Miscellaneous open source word processing programs

.pdf - Adobe Portable Document Format.

Note: The resume parser does not work on image-based files—for example, the parser cannot parse a PDF produced by scanning a paper resume. Text-based files, including PDFs produced by exporting to PDF, are accepted and parsed. There is no check for which type of PDF an applicant has uploaded: both are accepted, but only text-based PDFs are successfully parsed.

.txt - a standard document that contains unformatted text available in:

MS-DOS and Windows
Notepad
Unix
Mac OS X

Once the resume is uploaded, the file name appears in the resume area next to an icon. The resume can be removed by clicking the icon.

An applicant may not upload two files for a single job application. To use a second file in place of an initial upload, click to remove the first file, then upload the new file.

Step 3 Finish

On the Finish page, a message displays stating, “Thank you for applying! Your application has been received. You will be contacted soon!” This text can be edited in the Avionté Web Platform Admin tab.

Step 3 Finish

The Continue job search button directs an applicant back to the job board from which they came.

The Exit button directs an applicant to the default address entered in the required Avionté Web Platform Admin tab.

Visit the Admin - Job Boards article for details about the default address.
