The StaffingResource noun provides a staffing supplier a means to communicate and manage information about a person who is a resource or a potential resource to fill a customers' staffing requirements.
Note
The Staffing Resource is somewhat parallel in concept to the Candidate noun. In the version 3.0 architecture, both nouns are based on many of the same underlying data types for personal data and and "profile" information (work experience, educations, etc.). Thus, core data from one noun can easily be mapped to the other. The difference between the two is that StaffingResource contains additional details tailored to interactions between staffing suppliers and staffing customers. For example, StaffingResource allows for the specification of the staffing supplier's rates associated with the resource. StaffingResource also supports such things as the ability to associate a resource with a particular staffing requisition or order.
Candidate submission usually comes in response to a specific staffing order or requisition. However, some staffing suppliers may have arrangements to be on an on-going search or watch for resources to fill certain types of positions. While a staffing or definition resource requirement would precede submission, immediate triggers include:
Candidate Match. This refers to the result of an initial search process that identifies the candidate as someone who may meet basic job qualifications for a position opening or staffing requisition. The candidate may have been identified as a result of his or her application for an opening or the candidate may have been sourced from a search of a database or other candidate source. Additional research and screening may be necessary to confirm that the individual satisfies job qualifications.
Candidate Submission. This occurs when a third-party recruiter ("head hunter") or staffing supplier submits a candidate to a client or other organization seeking to fill a resource need.
Candidate Qualification. Broadly speaking, this refers to a stage within the employer's hiring process at which the candidate is considered to have met the basic job qualifications or otherwise still remains within a pool of candidates considered for a position after the elimination of unqualified candidates. The process and policy governing how candidates are qualified varies widely from employer-to-employer. The key aspect of "qualification" as an event, is that it is likely to trigger other hiring or evaluation processes, such as the scheduling of on-site or follow-up interviews and pre-employment assessments and screenings. Qualification often is not a single threshold, but a series of graduated thresholds, each of which might serve as an event trigger.
