With this feature, you can select target companies for any of your jobs. This allows you to get recommendations for candidates currently related to those companies when sourcing and assigning candidates from your account to a specific job.
This aims to streamline the candidate selection process by focusing on applicants from preferred target companies, thus enhancing the quality and relevance of the applicants.
Let's learn how to use this feature!
How to make the target companies tab available while assigning candidates
In order for the target companies tab to be available while assigning candidates to jobs, you need to follow the next steps.
1. Navigate to the "Job Fields" page under Data Customization in your Admin settings:
2. Scroll down on the Job Fields page until you locate the "Target Companies" field under the Job Details section, and make this field visible by toggling on the visibility for that specific field.
Don't forget to hit the save button for the visibility to be saved :)
After this, you'll have the "Candidates From Target Companies" tab available while assigning candidates, and the "Target Companies" field available while creating or editing jobs.
If you don't want these sections visible or available while assigning candidates or creating jobs, just turn the "Target Companies" field visibility off, and they will disappear.
How to assign candidates from target companies to a job
1. When creating jobs, you'll find a field labelled "Target Companies" where you can enter any company from your database that you want to be associated with that job.
You can add multiple target companies!
It's important to understand the difference between the "Target Companies" field and the "Company" field in job creation.
The "Company" field specifies the employer for the job being created (in other words, your client). On the other hand, the "Target Companies" field specifically means adding companies where candidates currently employed may be relevant to the position you are creating.
2. When assigning candidates to the specific job you created, you'll have the option to assign candidates from target companies. These candidates are individuals whose "Current organization" field matches the target company you added to that particular job.
You'll only be able to see candidates from the targeted company if they have that specific company as their current organization in Recruit CRM.
Please refer to this article to learn how to link a candidate to their current organization.
You can bulk-select candidates appearing in the "Candidates From Target Companies" section and assign them to the specific job for which you have selected the target companies.
You can also edit or remove the target companies by clicking on the "Edit" option:
And that's it! Now you can start assigning candidates from the target companies you select while creating jobs :D
Happy recruiting!
