Employee referral is perhaps the best way to source candidates for a particular job. It helps in streamlining the recruitment process and closing open positions faster. That's why we have built an employee portal. Anyone in your organization can manually log in or you can directly add them as a user by assigning them an employee role. 

This article will help you understand:

1. How to enable referral for a job?

2. What are the different methods in which one can use the referral feature?

Enabling job referral

Follow the steps below to enable job referral:

1. Navigate to the Jobs > Job Name > Source Candidates > Career Page and Referral.
   

2. Toggle the button ON provided for Referral.
   

3. Upon doing so, a shareable referral link is generated.
   Click on Copy to copy it to the clipboard.
   
   

4. You can share it with candidates and when they apply through the link, it will be considered as your referral.

Various methods of adding an employee referral

When you have the employee referral enabled for a job, the upload button will be visible for employees to add a referral.

Method 1: Referring a candidate from a specific job page

1. For referring a candidate to a specific job, click on the +Add Referral button provided on the Jobs > Job Name page on the top right corner of the screen.
   

2. In the following pop-up, you can add the resume with the details asked. 

3. Click on Add to complete the process.

Method 2: Referring a candidate from any other page on Skillate

1. For referring a candidate from Skillate, click on the +Add Referral button provided on the top right corner of the screen.

2. In the following pop-up, you can choose if you would like to refer the candidate to a job or refer without any specific job.
   

Referring to a specific job:

1. If you choose the option of Refer in a job, the list of jobs is displayed.
   

2. Choose a job, fill up the details and upload a resume.

3. Click on Add to complete the process.

Referring without a specific job:

1. If you choose to submit a profile not specific to an open job, click on Refer without any specific job.

2. Fill up the details and upload a resume.

3. Click on Add to complete the process.
   
   

IMPORTANT: The above referral methods are permission based. You can contact your Skillate POC if you want to restrict referring a candidate to a specific job only.

Note:
Duplicate check: Any referral made, if already exists on the database will have a tag Duplicate against the respective candidate name.

Application Status: The referrer can log in to the employee portal in order to view the referral status.

AI disqualification: Any referral which doesn't cut the threshold matching score will be visible to the referrer as disqualified. This can avoid confusions on the candidate eligibility for the job and follow ups on the candidate status.

Here is a video-walkthrough on how to refer a candidate for a job:

Enable referral alerts

Users can toggle the button ON provided for Send referral alert from the Organisation Settings page.

Further, from the Sourcing Configuration > Referral, users can specify the receivers' email addresses for sending alerts. Recipients can be anyone and not restricted to Skilate users. 

Once the alert setting is toggled ON from the Global Settings and recipients are added: as a job is created and referral is enabled for the respective job, all the recipients added from Sourcing Configuration > Referral will be notified via email.
