Rate Applicants
If permitted by an institution or department, Evaluators can rate applicants using a straightforward 5-star scale based on criteria established by an administrator. These ratings can be assigned and viewed on the Applicant Profile page or within the Document Reader.
Depending on the institution's settings (whether blind review is enabled or disabled), Evaluators might have visibility into the ratings given by other Evaluators.
Check out this article on how to Establish Custom Ratings Criteria and/or a Blind Review to learn how to set the criteria that evaluators will use to rate applicants. Note that only ad administrator can set these criteria.
