Reviewing applications as an employer

For each requisition, review applications against the same core criteria: required skills, clearance, and location or travel expectations. Consistency reduces risk and makes collaboration across recruiters and hiring managers easier.

Use the product views to shortlist, reject for fit, or move candidates forward. Internal notes and structured feedback help when several people are involved in a decision.

Communicate next steps in a way that matches your compliance program, especially for cleared and federal-adjacent roles. The platform is a system of record for some actions, not all legal advice; follow your own counsel for formal letters or adverse actions.

For bulk hiring or new programs, align with your Zera support contact early so the workflow and any billing hooks match the roles you are opening.
