To define your criteria, click into one of your jobs from the Jobs > Admin page. You can set your criteria in the Job Criteria section of your job’s Settings tab. Hit Edit to start setting your criteria.
On the following page, you have two options to add criteria.
Add Empty Criterion Click + Add Empty Criterion; you’ll then be asked to add in a title and a prompt. If you have quite complicated criteria, we’d recommend breaking this down into separate elements.
There is some additional guidance further below on generating effective criteria.
Title: The name of your criterion. This title will be displayed in your job settings, on the application review page and will also be the name of the filter generated for this criterion.
Prompt: This is what will be used to evaluate applicants. The more precise and clear your criteria, the better the AI will perform in evaluating candidates.
An example of completed job criteria.
Search Criteria Pool
You can click Search Criteria Pool for suggestions generated by AI based on the job description in your posting. You can also use this option to add criteria previously used for other roles. Please note: You will only see the criteria previously used for only the other roles you have access to.
When viewing suggestions or previously used criteria, you can click Add in the Action column to add the criteria to your role.
Validating Criteria
Once you’ve set up your criteria, click Validate. Your criteria will then be validated for clarity to ensure that the criteria are objective and that is can be evaluated by the A.I accurately. It will also be checked to ensure there are no EEO violations (either implicit or explicit).
If any criteria have issues, this will be raised. Click Review Criteria to take a look at any warnings.
To review specifics, click Show details listed underneath any warnings. You can then make adjustments if needed and re-validate, continue with your original criteria or opt to remove the criterion completely.
Once you’ve made any amendments and your criteria have been validated, click Save and Evaluate all active candidates to kick off the AI evaluation. If you are making adjustments to existing criteria, you will see Save and Re-Evaluate all active Job Considerations.
Ashby’s AI Criteria Evaluation will then assess candidates (in particular, candidate resumes) and return an evaluation of each candidate against each criterion.
A general guideline: Write your criteria as if you were describing them to a pair of junior recruiters. You’ll want to phrase the prompt in such a way to make sure that they both understand the same (and correct) version of what you’re asking.
