Referring Candidates

A candidate can be referred by several referrers (agents and/or employees) and referral ownership can be set at the candidate profile level, the job submission level, or at both levels.

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. Now, a candidate can have multiple referrers (agents and employees) and candidate information is shared between multiple referrers.

How it Works for Agents How it Works for Referrers (Usually Employees) How it Works for Referred Candidates How it works for Recruiters

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.

Referrers can:

  • Refer previously referred candidates.

  • Refer an already referred candidate at the job submission level.

  • See candidate information entered by other referrers.

Candidates can:
  • Receive emails from multiple referrers.

Recruiters can:
  • See various referrers for the same candidate.

  • Might not always know there are referrers associated to a candidate. The fact that no agent is displayed in the candidate profile Referral tab does not mean that no agent referred the candidate. The referral might exist at the job submission level.

  • See only the candidate profile referrer in search list and folder list.
