Recruit allows users to share open positions with anyone in their social network to help source and recruit candidates effortlessly. By clicking on the Social icon in any open position, or by visiting your company’s careers page, you can view the integrated sharing options, as well as the trackable link that can be posted or shared anywhere.

When a candidate applies for a position using your shared posting or trackable link, your name is recorded as the source of the candidate to ultimately receive credit for the referral. This feature applies to all company employees, including non-Recruit users.

Share positions using Recruit

1. Navigate to the relevant open position.

2. Click on the share icon. This will show you:

   • the built-in sharing options

   • your trackable link

Share positions using your company’s careers page

1. From your avatar at the top right, click Career's website↗️. Your company’s careers page will open in a new tab.

2. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, and you will see the same built-in options and trackable link to share your company’s job openings page.

3. You may also click on any specific job opening and click to share a position from there.

Non-Recruit users

If you are a non-Recruit user visiting your company’s careers page for the first time, you'll have to click on Employee at… to fill out your full name and work email. This will allow you to share your company’s job openings even if you do not have a Recruit user account. Once you have filled out your information, you will be able to share any of your company’s open positions.

Coref identifier

When Recruit users visit the company's careers website and sign up as employees, they gain the ability to share job listings with others. Each shared job listing includes a distinctive identifier known as "coref." This unique coref identifier is embedded in every link shared by the employee, whether it's through email, social media, or manual copying.

When a candidate clicks on the shared link and applies for the position, Recruit automatically generates a source card for the employee responsible for sharing the link or attributes the candidate to the referrer's source card if the source card already exists. This source card links the unique coref identifier with the employee's name, crediting them as the source. As a result, the candidate card will display the employee's name as the referral source.

Incorrect or missing information when sharing a position?

If you encounter an issue when sharing on social media, here are some diagnostic options:

1. Incorrect or incomplete details—If your company uses your own custom careers website (not the Recruit’s hosted website), confirm with your technical team that the details required for sharing on social media have been correctly added. For technical instructions, refer to the Sharing best practices page.

2. Position information is missing when sharing a position for the first time—Recruit needs to learn the location of new positions published on your company’s website if you are using your own custom careers site. You need to visit the position page on your company’s website once before you can share a newly published position. Once the new position page has been viewed, you can go ahead and share the position either from the position page itself or from Recruit.

3. Image is missing—When sharing a page for the first time, the image may not appear in the preview box of the social network, such as Facebook and LinkedIn. This is the default behavior for those systems. If correctly configured, however, the image will be shown with the post.

4. Incorrect image—If you replace a position’s social image, some social networks may continue to display the previous image. Learn more about refreshing images.
