General considerations for skills
Before you start to use watsonx Orchestrate with Candidate sourcing with ThisWay Global, take note of the following general considerations:
-
Find candidates for a job skill: For the 'Location of the candidates' parameter, specify a city and state (abbreviation) separated by a comma; for example, Boston, MA for Boston, Massachusetts. Do not specify a generalized area name like Orange County or a state by its full name; the AI cannot recognize such location values.
-
Job descriptions: When you create a job description template, consider the following tips to help the AI work with the job descriptions:
- The job description must have only the requirements and qualifications the company is looking for in a candidate.
- The job description must identify real skills for candidates, and not use personality traits such as “rock star” and “team player”. Such traits can confuse the AI.
- Avoid information that the AI cannot use to find candidates; for example, a list of benefits, a history of the company, or culture information.
Also, you can create job description templates in Box that can be used by the Create a job skill in watsonx Orchestrate (see the corresponding limitation). When you create a job description from the template in Box, consider the following tips to help the AI work with the job descriptions:
- A job description file must be a text file. (Box notes and binary files such as PDF or Word are not supported.)
- The first line of the text file must be the title of the job.
Finding candidates for a job and sending email
You can use watsonx Orchestrate to search for job candidates and send them emails through Microsoft Outlook or Gmail in a sequence. After you run the Find Candidates for a Job skill, the next best action involves Send email to candidates with Microsoft Outlook, if you added this skill to your skill set.
