TAM Interviewer Support

Text-only version of this page

To view applicants for a job you are the Hiring Manager or on the Interview Committee for:

  1. Log into Blu at https://blu.berkeley.edu/ using your CalNet ID

  2. Once logged in, click the People tab at the top of the page to navigate to an expanded Self-service page where the Recruiting Activities menu is displayed.

  3. In this Self-Service menu, select "Recruiting Activities" to navigate to the HCM Menu.

  4. On the HCM Menu page, Click on Resume Printing
  5. Note: this does not mean you have to print, this is a preview that you can use to see the applications w/o printing.

  6. If you have an active assignment as a member of an Interview Team, a list of all the job openings for which you are either the Hiring Manager or on the Interview Committee will be displayed. In the following example, there are two jobs for interview:

  7. Note: If you do not have an active Interview Team assignment, the following message will be displayed:

  8. If you have an Interview Assignment displayed, Click on the job posting title (highlighted as an active blue link) for the job that you want to review applicants.

  9. A Job Opening page for that posting will diplay with a list of applicants.

  10. Note: The system now allows applicants to apply for a job more than once (in case they wish to add/correct information). Therefore, you may see multiple applications from an applicant. Please contact your departmental HR person if you need help determining which application is the latest one for your review (you should just consider the most recent submission).
    As more applicants apply, the list will get longer. You can choose to rank the applicants as you review them. This will help you more easily those applicants remaining to be reviewed. See step 13 below for more information on this.

  11. To see the applications that have been submitted, either select one or more persons by using the check box or use the "Select All" option at the bottom of the page.
  12. At the bottom of the page, click the PRINT link. This will not automatically print the applications; it will bring up a printer-friendly page (as a 2nd browser window) with all of the applicants' information summarized. (NOTE: if you do not see a 2nd window open up, check your pop-up blocker settings).


  13. This printer-friendly page will list the applicants at the top, followed by a compilation of the information they provided and attached for the job.

    Type 2: Upload resume

    Note: Attachment says “pasted a resume” and the text displays Resume Text below.

    Type 2 – Upload Resume: Marjorie Barnes

    Note: Attachment says "uploaded a resume" and system should display the resume here. If system cannot display, this 'Unable to retrieve' message will display; please contact the person handling the job in your department (the Originator) and ask them to send you the individual attachment.

    Type 3 – Without Resume/ Enter Data: Marjorie Barnes

    Note:

    Note:

    • Resume Attachment uploaded by the applicant.
    • Education and Work Experience entered by the applicant

    NOTE: In a few cases, candidates who applied for a job before the upgrade using only the resume textbox are not converting correctly with all their information. If you think information is missing please contact your departmental TAM Originator who manages the job and they will have to contact Employment to recover the historical information.

  18. You have the ability to rank the applicants based on your opinion (no one else sees this!). Record your rankings and then Click the SAVE link. This functionality is useful when managing a large volume of applicants; one can review and rank applicants and then return to the list and easily see which applicants have not yet been reviewed.
