Expiration date on applicant flags

We have an applicant flag for someone on the restricted list because they failed a drug screen. It would be great to put an expiration date on that flag to automatically be removed after the time period allotted. To take the human error off of that and potentially the flag staying on there for too long.

What business value are you trying to achieve?

Be able to put an expiration date on applicant flags to be removed at a certain time.

    In education, we could use it for Working with Children expiry dates, qualification expiry dates, and compliance modules for employment expiry dates. This would fit in with a previous request to add our own flags and the ability to add more than are currently available to the system

    And there is the fun - depends on how long they have been working for government
    Could be as short as 4 weeks to 3 years - I would like to be able to set a date based of 12 months for the TVSP flag
    OFFICIAL
    I have a report running for anyone with an existing applicant TVSP flag who appluies to a new job and I am having to check each one manually in our TVSP database
    Expiring flags would be useful

    Wheather that is set by a defined date period for the flag or the applicant response in the application form date field - hmmm..

    another example would be a separation package - they expire after a period of time

    • At what stage of the recruiting process do you require that candidates submit to a drug screening? After the offer and before we officially hire them. It would be before the Submit to HRIS status. It is part of the pre-employment requirements - background screen and drug screen.

    • What happens if a candidate fails the drug screen? If a drug screen is failed, they are not allowed to be hired on for 2 years.

    • Who receives the drug test results? Is this the same person that puts the candidate's flag? Typically, yes. The onboarding specialists or recruiters would receive this information from employee health. They also place the flag.

    • How does one determine whether the applicant flag can be removed? With failed drug screens it is a 2 year policy for us, so they can be hired after that. Other flags like background screen or other ineligible for rehire require them to submit a request for the flag to be removed and provide justification.

    THanks!!

    yes - the ability to expire a flag would be useful

    how that date is set and controlled would be of interest
