What Is Opportunity Marketplace
Opportunity Marketplace allows organizations and employees to connect to ensure that organizations are getting the most out of their talent, as well as to give employees the ability to work on stretch assignments to help them leverage and grow their skills, and to grow their network.
Using Opportunity Marketplace, you create jobs or gigs. Jobs are long term opportunities that can be offered to internal or external candidates. Gigs are intended for internal employees. They're short term opportunities that make use of the skills and talents that employees might be using during their day-to-day job. For example, perhaps your team needs someone for a short period of time to create a web page. Gigs help employees improve the skills they already have, or gain skills they want to have.
Within Opportunity Marketplace there are:
- Creators - Employees who create gigs or internal jobs. These users can create opportunities, update them, review applicants, select and assign candidates to them, and close the opportunities.
- Seekers – Employees who search for opportunities (gigs or internal jobs). They can browse and search Opportunity Marketplace for gigs or internal jobs, view details for various opportunities, bookmark them, and apply for them.
As a creator you will:
- Define jobs and gigs.
- Post jobs and gigs.
- Receive applications.
- Review applications.
- Assign candidates to jobs and gigs.
- Close the jobs and gigs.
Seekers will then:
- Search for jobs and gigs.
- Review jobs and gigs.
- Bookmark jobs and gigs.
- Apply for jobs gigs.
- View their application statuses.
Once implemented, job seekers can access Opportunity Marketplace from Me > Opportunity Marketplace, or the quick links. On the Opportunity Marketplace landing page they will see either jobs, gigs, or both, depending on what is enabled for your organization. Jobs and gigs are listed as:
- Recommended - matches candidate preferences like job type and location, recently applied gigs orjobs, and recently favorited jobs. The recommendations will show on the top of the list.
- Trending - active, internally posted jobs or gigs that have been applied to or favorited by other seekers in the last three weeks. Trending displays only if the currently logged-in seeker has indicated a preferred job location for their Job Alerts, the job or gig's primary location matches the seeker's location preference, and if the seeker has not yet applied to the job or gig.
- Favorites - Jobs and gigs that are shortlisted by users when they bookmark them. Users can remove these from favorites at any time.
