Referrals Widget

The Referrals widget is used to feature Smart Referrals on the Welcome Page and custom pages. The widget allows administrators to feature open requisitions to encourage employee referrals. Users can view the job details and refer the job directly from the Referrals widget.

Jane is a recruiter at Acme Corp. She is in charge of creating requisitions and finding the best candidates to fill those openings, such as a new Sales Manager job in Santa Monica. However, Jane does not want to rely solely on external applicants applying through job boards and finding Acme’s career sites. Instead, she wants Acme employees to help her spread the word and even recommend appropriate candidates.

To do this, she edits the associated preferences setting to enable employees to share open requisitions with their friends. She also enables employees to refer candidates via email, by uploading a resume, and by finding a match through their social media networks. To get these opening in front of her employees, Jane adds the Referrals widget to the Welcome Page.
