Employers


Where do the NewHire™ pre-employment applications come from?

Employers create pre-employment applications using our custom questionnaire or with their own questionnaires.


How do applicants find the questionnaires and apply for the open position?

NewHire™ is source independent! Use any channel you wish to publicize job openings: in print or online; on job boards or on your own corporate Website.

NewHire™ generates a unique Web address to use as a direct link to the application questionnnaire for online postings. NewHire™ also generates a unique Job ID number to use in print publications. Direct all applicants to one location to apply for the open position, no matter where the opening is posted!


How do I access the applicant information?

Login with your user name and password at www.new-hire.com.


Can I search and screen applicant information?

Yes, all the information that an applicant inputs into the questionnaire is searchable. This functionality allows you to identify the applicant with the skills and experience that best suits your needs. It is fast and easy to find the most qualified person for the job.


Does NewHire™ have a scoring system for applicant responses?

NewHire™ does not have a built in scoring system. You can search the data anyway you wish. NewHire's searching functions allow hiring managers greater flexibility than a built-in scoring system.


Can I share applicant data with other people in my organization?

Yes, additional user names and passwords are available. NewHire™ is designed for multiple users to access and share applicant information. This simplifies the process of identifying the right candidate for the job.


Is my data safe?

Absolutely. NewHire™ makes daily backups of applicant information. No one but you can view or search your data.


What if I decide not to continue using NewHire™, can I keep my applicant information?

Yes, you can download information directly into MS Excel. You can also save resumes on your local server or hard drive.


What about privacy?

Only you have access to your applicant data. Our software service resides on a secure-server and your username and password insures your privacy and the privacy of your applicants. You can obtain additional usernames and passwords to share information with others in your organization as needed.


What if I want to continue using my NewHire™ pre-employment application after the 30 days?

Pay as you go! You can subscribe monthly to get continued access to all your data.

Applicants


I'm having trouble submitting my completed application. What should I do?

Please see problems submitting for a list of error messages and their solutions.


Do I have to fill out the entire questionnnaire?

We recommend that you complete the questionnaire to the best of your ability. Answering questions that the employer thinks are important is the first step in showing that you are a serious applicant and qualified for the job posting.


Where do the applications come from?

Employers with job openings create custom questionnaires tailored to the specific position being filled.


How can I find out the name of the company who created this job posting?

You may not be able to get this information. Postings may be blind at the discretion of the employer. There are many reasons an employer may choose not to include detailed contact information.


Can I use NewHire™ to find other job openings?

NewHire™ is not a job board, it is an applicant data management and screening tool. You cannot search NewHire™ for open positions. We recommend that you continue to search for job postings in newspapers, online job boards and corporate Websites.
