Guidelines for Loading Job Referrals

General Considerations

These are the general considerations for loading job referrals:

When loading a referral using HCM Data Loader, a record is created internally for a prospect of type, Referred.
Source tracking information is also created internally.
The user can't refer a candidate to a job requisition that isn't in the Open phase.
External or internal candidates can be referred depending on where the requisition is posted. For example, if a requisition is posted internally, then only internal candidates can be referred. If a requisition is posted both internally and externally, then both internal and external candidates can be referred.
