Basic tool requirements:

General

  • Create a database of profiles for people interested in applying to open Berkman positions,
  • Accept application materials – CVs, cover letters, other various attachments/files including links and multimedia.

Administrators / decision makers

  • Can manage job listings,
  • Have the ability to report on candidates and the materials they've submitted,
  • Can classify and download all of a certain kind of file (eg: all CVs, or all proposals, or all letters of recommendation, etc.),
  • Are able to download all materials for a specific candidate (eg: get all of John Smith's application materials),
  • Have the ability to send responses to applicants individually and as a group (eg: when a position has been filled, email all other applicants of the change in status),
  • A basic "workflow" to track decisions and where an applicant stands in the process.

The applicant

  • Can manage their profile and complete it incrementally,
  • Can apply to multiple positions and tailor their application/letters/files to each application,
  • Allow non-applicants – primarily people submitting letters of recommendation on an applicant’s behalf – to submit materials that would link to the applicant’s application
