ATS Pipeline Health Check (QA)

  1. 01

    Verify job posting distribution coverage

    Confirm that each open role is syndicated to the intended job boards and that the client's preferred boards are active in the ATS. For example, GoHire's single-click posting to 15+ boards should be checked for any failed or duplicate postings.

  2. 02

    Audit candidate screening criteria alignment

    Review the screening questions and AI-assisted filters to ensure they match the client's stated job requirements. Adjust any overly broad or narrow criteria that could cause qualified candidates to be filtered out.

  3. 03

    Test scheduling workflow from candidate perspective

    Submit a mock application and walk through the interview scheduling flow to identify friction points, such as double bookings or missing calendar sync. This validates the end-to-end experience for real candidates.

  4. 04

    Review pipeline stage definitions and data hygiene

    Check that pipeline stages (e.g., applied, screened, interviewed, offered) are consistently used across all roles and that no candidates are stuck in outdated stages. Clean up duplicate or stale records to maintain accurate reporting.

  5. 05

    Validate AI screening outputs for bias and accuracy

    Sample recent AI-generated candidate rankings or summaries and compare them against manual reviews to ensure the tool is not introducing bias or errors. Document any discrepancies for the client.

  6. 06

    Confirm compliance with data retention and privacy policies

    Ensure that candidate data is stored and processed in line with applicable regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and the client's own policies. Check that consent records are captured and that data deletion workflows are functional.

  7. 07

    Generate and share a health report with the client

    Compile findings into a concise report that highlights pass/fail status for each check, along with recommended fixes. Schedule a follow-up to address any critical issues before the next hiring cycle.
