In order to enable a quick start in onlyfy Application Manager, we have compiled some useful tips on the topic of application management in this article.
Candidate recommendations
Instead of waiting for applications after publishing a job ad, you will automatically receive suitable candidate recommendations from the XING network. You do not need a XING profile or a TalentManager licence, just an Application Manager account.
After you have published a job ad, you will automatically be forwarded to the list with the profile suggestions.
Customers with a Pro or Ultimate price plan can directly invite the persons from the profile suggestions to apply by clicking on ´Start a conversation´.
Read all the details about our feature in the article "Active sourcing with automated candidate recommendations".
Video questions and calls
Get to know your candidates better during the first contact by having them answer a question as a video in the application form. For example, why the person has applied for the respective position.
You create a video question by going to ´Settings´ (1) > ´Applications´ (2) > ´Custom questions´ (3), creating a new question (4) and selecting ´Video´ (5) as answer type. Fill in the fields for the question and the desired length and your video question is ready. You can also set the question as default in the question settings behind the gear icon (6), in which case it will appear in every application. You can also add the question to a questionnaire.
Have you made a pre-selection ― perhaps also on the basis of the video question? Invite your candidates to a video interview using one of the following video conferencing applications:
- NEW: Microsoft Teams
- NEW: Zoom
- Jitsi
Do you use another provider? Add your provider's link directly to the invitation.
Read all about it in the article "Remote hiring with video interviews".
Candidate profile
Click on a job and view all applications under ´Your Candidates´. Find out more about each person by clicking on their name. In addition to the CV and other additional information, the candidate profile also shows the appointments and comments of your colleagues.
For more information, we recommend the following articles:
Corporate calendar
The Cronofy calendar integration allows you to easily organize job interviews via the Application Manager by viewing the availability of your colleagues directly in the system.
You have the choice between the integrations Business Connect and Enterprise Connect. You can find a detailed description in our article "Cronofy: Integration of external calender".
Activate the integration in the ´Settings´ (1) > ´Integrations´ (2) > ´Calendar´ (3).
As soon as the integration is active, the availability of the colleagues is displayed directly in the invitation.
Speculative applications
With a speculative application, candidates have the opportunity to apply to companies that do not currently have any suitable vacancies advertised but are nevertheless interesting.
Allow this type of application by activating it in the ´Settings´ (1) > ´Applications´ (2) > ´Application settings´ (3).
