Edit a referral

Where to find it: Menu Bar - Referrals

Click on the name of the applicant to access the details of this referral.

Here you will find all the necessary details of your applicants: which job they applied for or were referred for, their contact details, their CV, a link to their social profile, which Talent Scout referred them and if the Talent Scout has already provided feedback.

On the right-hand side of the card (at the referral overview), you will see the Talent Scouts feedback (above). There are three different feedback options a Talent Scout can give:

Positive: Thumbs up

Neutral: Wave

Negative: Thumbs down

Furthermore, you can see how the Talent Scout and the candidate know each other and why the Talent Scout decided to refer the candidate. If the area on the right-hand side of the card is empty, the Talent Scout has yet to provide feedback.

In the case that the candidate or Talent Scout sends documents after their application submission, you can easily upload them via the function "Edit" (between their name and the button "Hire" - top, centre) and change or correct general data as well.

Rate a referral

Where to find it: Menu Bar - Referrals - Rate

After screening your referrals, it's time to rate them. Click on the button "Rate" below the candidate’s name. You can rate referrals with the following plus points:

Before you finalize your rating by clicking on the button "Save", you can leave a short message to the responsible Talent Scout by clicking on the function "Add a personal message". We will let the Talent Scout who referred the candidate know about your rating.

Each rating of a referral will be published in the history (right area) of each candidate. Thanks to this history, you’re able to see all rating changes done by a Recruiter.

Invalid referral - revoke points

Where to find it: Menu Bar - Referrals - In Progress

In the situation in which a Talent Scout refers a candidate but the same candidate independently applies for that same job, or if two Talent Scouts refer the same candidate for the same job, you as a recruiter are able to revoke points and close the referral or application by selecting the reason "The application is not valid".

As soon as you close the referral, all received points will be revoked from the Talent Scout's account.

Go to "Referrals" on the menu bar to the left and next to "In Progress". Look for the referral or application you would like to close as it's "not valid", and click on the button "Close". A new window will pop up where you can select the closing reason "The application is not valid". Leave a personal message for the Talent Scout, and finish the process by clicking the button "Close referral".

The Talent Scout responsible will be informed about the closing and the reason of his referral or application. In addition, all received points (25 points for the referral, 25 points for the feedback - if given) will be revoked from the Talent Scout's account.

If the Talent Scout received a new level for this referral or application, he will be reset to the previous level.

Please note!

If you mark an application as invalid not only will points will be revoked but also coins! (Under the prerequisite that you enabled the function "Coin Accumulation").
