What Is Opportunity Marketplace
Opportunity Marketplace allows organizations, external candidates, and employees (internal candidates) to connect to ensure that organizations are getting the most out of their talent. It also gives employees the ability to work on stretch assignments to help them leverage and grow their skills, and to grow their network.
Jobs are long term opportunities that can be offered to employees or external candidates. Gigs are intended for employees only. They're short term opportunities that use 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 candidate applications, assign candidates to opportunities, and close the opportunities.
- Seekers – Employees or external candidates who search for opportunities (gigs or jobs). They can browse and search Opportunity Marketplace for gigs or jobs, view details for various opportunities, bookmark them, and apply for them.
As a creator you:
- Create jobs and gigs.
- Post jobs and gigs.
- Receive candidate applications.
- Review candidate applications.
- Assign candidates to jobs and gigs.
- Close jobs and gigs.
Seekers:
- Search for jobs and gigs and save their searches.
- Review jobs and gigs.
- Bookmark jobs and gigs.
- Apply for jobs and gigs.
- View their candidate application statuses.
Job seekers can access Opportunity Marketplace from Me > Quick Actions > Show More > Opportunity Marketplace. On the Opportunity Marketplace landing page, job seekers can see either jobs, gigs, or both, depending on what's enabled for their organization. Jobs and gigs are listed as:
- Recommended - Displays jobs and gigs matching the user's preferences like job type and location, recently applied gigs or jobs, and recently favorited jobs. The recommendations will show on the top of the list.
- Trending - Displays active, internally posted jobs or gigs that the user 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 hasn't yet applied to the job or gig.
- Favorites - Displays jobs and gigs shortlisted by the user when they bookmark them as their favorite. Users can remove these from favorites at any time.
