Career Portals

Link have been copied!

The career portal is the most important tool for advertising your open positions and hiring people for your organization. In this step-by-step guide, you’ll find out how to set up your careers page in the flair Recruiting app on Salesforce.

How To Set Up Your Career Portal

Link have been copied!

To get started, open the flair Recruiting app in Salesforce. From the Home page, you can either:

• Use the shortcut in your Setup Assistant by clicking Go to Settings
• Click on the Career Portals Setup tab in the top navigation bar
• Type Career Portals Setup in the Salesforce App Launcher

Once you’re on the Career Portals Setup, click Create. If you already have a career portal, then click New.

To get started, you’ll need to pick a name and a slug for your career portal. The slug is a unique identifier that will appear in the URL of your new career portal.

It must be all lowercase and contain no special characters or spaces. Spaces will automatically be replaced by a hyphen.

For example, if you give your career portal the slug “flair Demos”, your URL will be https://flair-demos.careers.flair.hr. When you enter your slug, our app will check whether the URL is available.

Click Create to reserve the URL and open the career portal builder.

Now you will see the career portal builder. There are four tabs on this page. We’ll take you through each of them.

Layout and Appearance

Link have been copied!

The Layout & Appearance tab is where you create the design and content of your page. In the middle of the page, you will see a preview of your career portal’s design. On the left, each card or component of your careers page will be listed. You can hide components by clicking the eye symbol or edit them by clicking the pencil icon.

To remove a card entirely, click the trashcan icon. You can also rearrange the components by clicking and dragging the dots to the left of the card name.

By default, your career page will have four cards:

• Hero Card: This is the eye-catcher of your careers page. The card contains a title, subheading, description text, three images, and a Company Highlights section for quick facts and figures.

Open Positions Card: This card displays the open positions from the Jobs section of your flair Recruiting app. You can add a title and description to the card, choose to group the jobs by department or location, and decide how many positions appear per page. To select which jobs appear here, use the Segmentation tab.

Perks & Benefits Card: Show potential applicants what they can look forward to. With this card, you add as many company benefits as you like. Choose an icon, give the perk a name, and write a short description.

Our Team Card: Give your company a face. Using the Our Team card, you can add photos of team members with a short caption, so candidates know who their future colleagues might be.

These four cards are just an example to help you get started. By clicking Add New Section, you can choose from a variety of other cards. Get creative and make your career portal your own!

Customizing Job Description Pages

Link have been copied!

In addition to your career portal home page, you can also customize what job pages look like. From the menu on the left, click on Job Description Page to see a preview of how your open positions will look. There are two default cards: “Job Header” and “Job Details and Application”. These cards are mandatory and will always appear at the top of your job description. However, you can add whichever new sections you need below.

Career Portal Details

Link have been copied!

The second tab in Career Portals Setup is called Details, and this is where can define the core features of your career page, including:

• Basic company information
• Company logo
• Brand color
• Default language
• Your About Us text
• Links to your company’s website, social media, and privacy policy
• The message that applicants receive when submitted their application

Defining Fields for Your Career Portal

Link have been copied!

To define which information you would like your applicants to share when applying for a job, open the Fields tab in Career Portal Setup. Here you’ll find the different fields you can use on your career page to collect info on your applicants. This includes cover letters, earliest start date, and salary expectations.

You can choose whether a field is mandatory or optional, and turn off any fields that you don’t want to display. You can also rearrange the fields.

If you want to add a new file upload field:

• Click on Add New File Field
• Define its label
• Add a description
• Select whether you want it to be mandatory or optional

If you require candidate information that is not covered by any of these fields, you can create custom fields and picklists in Salesforce Setup. Visit our Developer Hub for a how-to guide.

Multi-Step Application

Link have been copied!

You can configure your career portal to divide the application process into two steps. This can be useful if you require a lot of information from your candidates.

In the first step, for example, you could ask for basic, necessary information, such as name, contact details, and resume. The application will then be submitted, while the candidate is prompted to fill in additional details in a second step.

The advantage is that candidates are no longer overwhelmed by lengthy application forms. They have the chance to fill in the basics first and continue with their application at a later time. This reduces the number of candidates that drop off midway through the application, helping you to avoid missing out on any promising talent.

To add an application step to your career portal, open the Fields tab on the Career Portal Setup page.

Next to each section, you will see a dropdown that allows you to define whether this section appears in Step 1 or Step 2 of the application process. You can also rename or delete the section.

Further down in this example, you can see two more sections. Professional Information is another section that appears in Step 1, while Additional Information has been moved to Step 2. At the bottom of the page, you can click Add New Section if you want to request further information from applicants.

Now, when a candidate applies for any job on your career portal, they will be able to submit their application after completing the fields in Step 1. At this point, you will receive the application and a Candidate will be created in flair. The candidate will see a message informing them that their application has been received, and they will have the opportunity to continue their application by filling in the fields in Step 2.

You can also add an additional application step to specific jobs by editing fields at the job level, which we will cover in the next section of this guide.

Editing Fields for a Specific Job

Link have been copied!

For some job roles, you might require a different set of information from your applicants. In this case, you can change the fields shown at the job level.

To do this, open the Jobs page in flair Recruiting and select the job you wish to edit. Then, select the Fields tab. Click the Override button and you will see the default job fields as defined in Career Portal Setup. Now you can add, remove, and edit fields for this specific job vacancy.

Please note, the changes you make here may not be visible immediately. To apply the changes, use the Force Update button in Career Portal Setup then refresh the job page.

If you wish to return the fields to the default settings, simply click Reset To Career Portal in the Fields tab of the job.

Choosing Which Jobs To Display

Link have been copied!

If you want to adjust which jobs appear in the Open Positions card on your career portal, open the Segmentation tab in Career Portals Setup.

Here, you can click Add Segment to add all jobs from a specific location or department.

Alternatively, you can click Add a Specific Job to add jobs individually. This feature is useful if you have multiple career portals for different regions and/or teams.

How To Track Candidate Sources

Link have been copied!

Once your career page is ready to go, you’re going to want to know where your candidates are coming from. By adding a simple tag to the end of the page URL, you can track application sources to see how candidates are finding your job posts. Here’s how it works.

1. Take the career page URL that you defined in Career Page Settings. For example: https://YOURCOMPANY.jobs.flair.hr/. If you want to track candidates for a specific job posting, then take the URL for the job posting you want to track. This will be the same URL with an ID after the final slash.
2. Add ?origin= to the end of the URL.
3. Now type in the name of the source where you are planning to share the link. For example, if you want to share your career page on LinkedIn, add ?origin=linkedin to the end of the URL.

4. Now when someone applies for a job using this link, you will be able to track the application’s origin. Open the flair Recruiting app on Salesforce and search Career Portal Applications in the App Launcher. When you click on a candidate, you will see a field called Career Page Origin that lets you know where the candidate applied from.

5. You can use this field to create reports, helping you better monitor which of your recruitment channels are yielding the most applicants.

Link an Existing Career Page or Job Ad to flair

Link have been copied!

If you have used a solution or platform other than flair to publish and advertise a job listing, candidates will not automatically be added to the flair Recruiting app. Fortunately, if you follow these simple steps, you won’t have to enter these candidates into Salesforce manually.

To connect a job ad to flair, first make sure you have already set up a flair career portal. Next, go to the Jobs section of the flair Recruiting app and create the job. Provided that your job listing matches the location and departments defined in the Segmentation options for your career portal, you will see a Career Portals box on the job’s page in Salesforce.

Copy the career portal link from this box and paste it into your external job advertisement. For example, you might want to make this URL the destination of the “Apply Now” button on your career page.

Now, when someone clicks the link in your job advertisement, they will be redirected to a flair job application form. Once they submit this form, their details will be saved in the Candidates section of the Recruiting app.

With flair, you can post your job ads on multiple websites at once using our multiposting feature. Not only is this an effective way to save time, but it also boosts your chances of finding the right candidates for your open positions.

To start, open the flair Recruiting app and open the job that you want to advertise. Now click on the Publishing Details tab. Fill in the fields to add more information about the role, including industry, employment type, required experience, and salary range. When you have filled in all the fields, click Save.

Each result shows you the name and description of the channel, the price and duration of the ad placement, and whether or not this channel is recommended for you based on the type of role your want to advertise. Choose channels by clicking Add to Cart and then you will see the total price in the Cart card on the right.

When you click the Checkout button, you will have the chance to check the job details before posting. You may need to add some missing data depending on the job boards you have chosen. Once you’re ready, click Proceed to Checkout. Give your ad campaign a name and choose which Career Portal it is linked to. You can review your order details again before clicking Submit Order to start the campaign.

You can monitor your ongoing ad campaigns using the flair Advertising tab. Here you will see a list of your paid listings, including their status, cost, and clicks. You can also stop the campaign by clicking on the down arrow ▼ next to the campaign and selecting Stop Campaign.

JOIN Integration

JOIN helps companies to recruit the right talent in less time. The recruiting solution enables companies to create job ads, advertise them on multiple job boards at once, and manage applications.

You can integrate flair with JOIN to speed up your talent search while managing all your job ads and candidates in our Salesforce app. Here’s how it works.

How To Set Up the JOIN Integration

Adding Merge Fields to an Email Template

Link have been copied!

With flair email templates it is possible to incorporate merge fields. A merge field is a placeholder or variable that gets replaced with actual data when the email is sent out. It allows for the personalization and automation of email content. There are two ways to add merge fields to an email template.

Classic Email Merge Fields

• When creating a new Classic Email template, you'll see an option labeled Available Merge Fields in the top left corner of the template.

• Choose the appropriate merge field type from a selection of options using the Select Field Type dropdown list. For example, if you want to include candidate-specific merge fields in an email, select Candidate Fields. If the email is payroll-related, select Payroll Fields.

• Within the relevant merge field type, you'll find fields like First Name, Employment Type, Job Name, and many more options for your emails.
• Selecting a merge field such as First Name will present you with a merge field value which you can copy into your email template.

• The types of merge fields you include in an email template will determine the type of data automatically included in the email. For example, including fields like First Name or Contact ID will populate the email with corresponding individual information.
• Once you’re happy with how the email looks, click Save to store the template.

Candidate Email Merge Field

It is also possible to add merge fields to candidate and recruitment emails using the flair Recruiting app. Here is how it works.

• In the flair Recruiting App, navigate to the Candidates page and choose the specific individual you wish to email.

• Within the chosen candidate’s profile, navigate to the Activity box in the bottom right corner and select the Email icon to begin your correspondence.

• Within a candidate email, it is possible to insert as many merge fields as you like using the Merge Fields button, indicated by the Bracket icons { }.

• Choose from a selection of merge fields associated with the sender, your organization, and the candidate.
• Once you have created the email and inserted the relevant merge fields, click the Eye icon to preview the correspondence. Then click Send to deliver the email.

Using Different Screen Views for Recruiting

Link have been copied!

On Salesforce it is possible to choose between a selection of display views or screen orientations. This allows you to efficiently manage different tasks and visualize information by dividing your screen into a Table view, Kanban view, or Split view.

This guide will walk you through the very simple process using the Candidates section of the flair Recruiting app as an example. It’s important to note that view changes can be applied in many areas of the flair Recruiting and HR apps.

Screen View Options

Link have been copied!

Table View: The Table view is the most common and traditional view for displaying records in Salesforce. It presents data in a tabular format with rows and columns, resembling a spreadsheet or a database table.

Accessing the Table View: When assessing candidates in the flair Recruiting app, the Table View will be your default view. However, if you ever need to revert to this view, simply go to the Display As icon in the List View Controls bar and select the Table view.

Kanban View: Kanban boards employ cards, columns, and swimlanes to assist teams in effectively visualizing and managing workflows. The view can be effective for charting the progress of work using different columns. For example, in the Candidates section of flair Recruiting, you may wish to organize potential hires into stages such as Applied, Phone Screen, Interview, Offered, Hired, and Rejected.

Accessing the Kanban View: To switch your view to Kanban view, simply select the Display As option on the List View Controls bar and choose Kanban.

Split View: Selecting Split View will divide your screen into two sections: the left pane and the right pane. Split View enables you to multitask and see two different records at the same time. Split View is useful for reviewing records or quickly scanning through a collection of them, without the need to switch back and forth between the list and the records.

Accessing Split View: In the List View Controls menu, locate the Display As tab, which provides various list views for your data. Simply select Split View and your screen will be divided into two.

• Create a meeting appointment in your email calendar.
• Within your Google or Microsoft Salesforce extension, select Create Event.

• When you create an event, Salesforce Inbox links it to the right email contact in flair. For example, if you plan an interview with a candidate, creating an event will show it as an Activity on that candidate’s profile in the flair Recruiting app.
