Career Center - Refer Jobs

Use the Refer Jobs tab to view Smart referrals and any referrals made by the user. Note: A Smart referral is a referral configured by an administrator to display to users that are in a specific OU.

Note: The Refer Jobs tab only displays for portals with Recruiting and Referral Suite enabled.

To access the Refer Jobs page, go to Succession > Career Center > Refer Jobs.

For portals with multiple languages enabled, this displays in the user's language if available. If the user's language is not available, then this displays in the language of the user who defined it.

Job Finder

The job finder functionality allows users to upload a contact's resume and have the system automatically find the best open job opportunities for the contact. If at least one match is found, the system emails the match to the contact, with a link to apply. The user that submitted the contact's resume is credited for the referral if referral credit is associated to a requisition to which the contact applies.

The job finder functionality only appears if the following conditions are met:

  • The user belongs to an OU for which the Job Finder preference is enabled.
  • At least one resume section is mapped by the administrator in Succession Management > Career Center > Resume. See Add Resume Section - Applicant Resume for more information about mapping resume sections.

In order for a requisition to be included in the Job Finder functionality, the following conditions must be met for the requisition:

  • The requisition is in an Open or Open Pending Re-Approval status.
  • A default career site has been set for the requisition.
  • The requisition has at least one attribute defined.

To find a job for a contact:

  1. Click the click here link. This opens Step 1 of the Job Finder pop-up. All fields of Step 1 are required.

  1. Enter the contact's name up to 50 characters, email address, and phone number.
  2. Click Browse to search for and select the contact's resume.
  3. Click Upload. The attachment appears in the Attach Resume/CV field.
  4. Click Next. This opens Step 2 of the Job Finder pop-up.

  1. Review the Contact Information section and revise if necessary. The information is pulled from the contact's resume.
  2. Review the Experience section. This section displays the contact's jobs pulled from their resume. You can edit each job by clicking the Edit icon in the Options column. You can delete a job by clicking the Delete icon.
  3. Select one of the following options:
  • Click Back to return to Step 1.
  • Click Submit to submit the contact's resume. This opens a Confirmation pop-up that informs you that an email will be sent to you and your contact if matches are found.
  • Click Close to close the Confirmation pop-up.

Once submitted, the system checks the resume criteria against the matching criteria of all requisitions that are in an Open or Open-Pending Re-Approval status. The top 10 jobs that have a match percentage of 50% or higher are emailed to the contact. The user that submitted the resume is cc'd.

If more than 10 jobs have a match percentage of 50% or higher, then only the 10 matches with the highest match percentage are included.

If there is no way to identify the best 10 matches cleanly, then requisition's Display Name is used as a secondary method of determining which 10 matches to include in the email.

  • Example 1: If the top 25 matches have a 100% match percentage, then the matches are sorted alphabetically and the top 10 in alphabetical order are sent.
  • Example 2: The top eight matches have an 80% match percentage and the next five matches have a 75% match percentage. The eight matches with an 80% match criteria are included. The five matches that have a 75% match percentage are sorted alphabetically, and only the first and second matches in alphabetical order are sent.

The email sent to the contact is system-defined and includes a link to apply for each individual match. The link opens the external Job Details page for the job. If the contact completes an application for any of the jobs, the following occurs:

  • The referral source for the application is Referral-Email.
  • The referral credit is applied to the user that submitted the contact's resume, if a referral credit is associated to the requisition. Note: The conditions that determine who receives referral credit are dependent upon several factors. See the Automatic Referral Credit section in Referral Preferences for more information on how the referral source is determined.
  • The referral is added to the employee's Existing Referrals panel on the Refer Jobs tab in Career Center.

If no matching jobs are found, then an email is not sent to the contact. Instead, the Employee Confirmation email is sent to the user that submitted the contact's resume, indicating that no open jobs matched the contact's resume. The language of the email is the user's default language for emails.

Existing Referrals

The Existing Referrals panel displays all of the referrals that the user has made through any referral method. The applicant status of each referral also displays, allowing users to track the referral process. The panel is sorted by Date Referred, with the most recent referral at the top. Up to 10 referrals display per page. Note: If there are no referrals, then "No referrals" displays in the panel.

The following information displays for each referral:
