• If we have a candidate who is 'Expert' in "Payroll" module but has scored 'Moderate' in "Core HCM" module, we should evaluate them.
• We might get candidate who is 'Expert' in "Time and Absence" and "Payroll" but have moderate configuration experience in "Core HCM". We might evaluate them as well.
