Edit
You can find all of your new referrals in the section “All”. Referrals that haven’t yet been reviewed are marked with a green bar on the left-hand side of the card. Click on the name of the applicant to access the details of this referral.
Here you will find all necessary details of your applicants: which job they applied for or got referred to, 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, 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 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.
