In Pinpoint, you can switch on equality monitoring for any given job.
This allows you to view Equality Monitoring insights in your insights dashboard, that shows the level of diversification of your applicant base, and allow you to refocus your sourcing strategy to achieve your diversification goals.
When turned on a section is added to the job's application form which looks like this:
These fields are completely optional for the candidate, so they could choose to submit the application form without providing this information.
Configuring Equality Monitoring within your Organisation
You can also enable equality monitoring for speculative applications to the Talent Pipeline. Head to 'Profile' page under the 'Company' section in the main menu on the left and choose the 'Equality Monitoring' tab. On this page you'll see the following section:
You have two configuration sections here. The first controls the default equality monitoring setting for jobs at your organisation:
Your options here are:
On for all. Setting 'On for all' will include the equality monitoring questionnaire on all job application forms and will remove the ability to turn it off on a job-by-job basis.
On by default. Setting 'On by default' will include the equality monitoring questionnaire on all job application forms but you will be able to turn it off on a job-by-job basis.
Off by default. Setting 'Off by default' will not include the quality monitoring questionnaire
The second configuration section here controls whether your speculative application form / talent pipeline application form contains equality monitoring questions.
The speculative application / talent pipeline application form uses the "Default" equality monitoring template (which can be modified in Settings > Templates > Equality Monitoring). You cannot currently change which equality monitoring question template this form uses.
We advise caution in configuring your Default equality monitoring question template so that is sensitive to the norms for the location(s) where you're collecting speculative applications for.
Configuring Equality Monitoring for individual Jobs
To add or remove the equality questions for a specific job click 'Manage Jobs' in the main menu on the left.
Locate the job that you want to turn on equality monitoring for and click the three dots to the right of it, then select 'Edit Job'.
In the screen that appears, locate the setting called 'Equality Monitoring' as shown below and tick the box. Click the green 'Update' button at the bottom to confirm your changes:
Editing your Equality Monitoring Questions
To make changes to the questions or options go to Settings on your left hand panel, then Templates then choose Equality Monitoring.
Select the template you wish to edit (you can have multiple to suit hiring in different locations, see more here). You will see the below screen:
Here you can hide certain sections. You can also edit the options by clicking on the name:
⚠️ Please note: You cannot currently add new equality monitoring sections in. A workaround is that you can change the name of a section to something you'd prefer.
Viewing Results
Once candidates start submitting this information, you can view the results from the 'Equality Monitoring' menu item under the 'Insights' section as shown here:
Can I see the responses given by a specific candidate?
No, we do not associate the responses given by a specific candidate with their application. We collect the data anonymously to show the patterns within your candidate base.
