Staffing Agency and Agent
Agents can refer candidates for jobs available in your organization. Each agent must belong to an agency and each agent is linked to a specific career section Agency Portal.
A staffing agency can be used for the following services:
-
Staffing: Agency that provides full headhunter/recruiting services. The agency may recruit, prescreen and submit a candidate for a requisition via the agency portal.
-
Media placement: Agency posting a requisition on electronic media such as newspapers, magazines, billboards.
-
Internet mining: Agency searching the internet for candidates and resumes for a specific requisition.
-
Sourcing strategy: Agency providing services to prepare a job ad.
The following business rules apply to agencies and agents:
-
An agency cannot be linked to an agency portal. Only agents (associated to an agency) are linked to agency portals.
-
An agent can only be associated to one agency. The agency must offer staffing services.
-
An agent has access to only one agency portal.
-
An agent can be associated to an Organization-Location-Job Field structure. When a user wishes to invite agents to refer candidates for a job, the structure associated to the agents displayed by the system will correspond to the one of the requisition. If an agent is associated to more than one Organization-Location-Job Field, the requisition/agent mapping must satisfy all associated structures of the requisition to appear on the list.
Details regarding agent ownership
In previous releases, candidates could be referred on multiple jobs by a single referrer only. The referral ownership was kept at the candidate profile level, encompassing all job submissions done through all means by all actors. Since version 13C, a candidate can have multiple referrers (agents and employees) and candidate information is shared between multiple referrers.Agents can:
Refer candidates who already exist in the database.
Refer an already referred candidate at the job submission level.
See candidate information entered by other referrers.
Have a maximum number of job submissions referred per requisition.
