Some members of your team may prefer to refer their friends when they see them, or over the phone. These referrals are eligible for points and you can add them to your candidate area really easily.

Manually adding a candidate - a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Head into the candidate section of your portal and click on 'Add a candidate':

Step 2: Click in the 'role' box. A list of all active jobs will appear. Select the role that the new candidate has expressed interest in.

Please note: For Work Friends users, the 'New to Care' menu will not display on this screen.

Step 3: Complete the candidate's name and contact details. Then click on the 'Referred by' field, search for and select the app user who referred the candidate.

Step 4: Click in the 'Expressed interest on' field and choose the date the candidate expressed interest.

Step 5: Finally, confirm whether the candidate has worked in the care sector before and choose the appropriate outcome from the 'New to care?' drop-down menu. Once all fields are completed click on 'Add'.

The candidate will now appear in the Live Candidate section of your candidate area and is ready to progress as normal. Click here for a step-by-step guide to progressing a candidate.
