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".

Message templates

Would you like to make your communication professional and still spend less time writing messages? This is possible without much effort using our message templates. Open a new message and select the template you want to use under ´Template´.

Admin users can create new templates or edit existing templates in ´Settings´ > ´Messaging´ > ´Message templates´.

Team collaboration

Commenting not only allows you to record important information, but you can also tag colleagues. Type the "@" sign in the comment field, then type the name of the person you want to tag. Depending on the notification settings, that person will be notified about the tag (by e-mail and/or in-app notification).
