When you’re ready, it’s time to invite your employees to become your Talent Scouts. Your employees know your company and its culture, they understand the needs of your jobs and they know people from all different areas of life. That’s why they are the perfect scouts for new talent.

You can create your jobs easily in Firstbird or through an integration with your ATS.

MATCHING

We’ll match your jobs with your Talent Scouts, so that the right Talent Scouts are always informed of your open jobs.

INSIGHTS AND CONSTANT LEARNINGS

For every job and activity that is performed, you’ll receive in-depth statistics and analysis.

Using Firstbird, Talent Scouts can easily share your company’s jobs on their connected Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Xing accounts. They can also share their link privately over email and WhatsApp.

TRACKING

Every link is personalized so you’ll know where your referrals come from.* Your Talent Scouts will receive points for their number of job views. As a recruiter, this feature allows you to track the reach of the job and channel.

FEEDBACK LOOP

Your Talent Scouts will be asked to provide feedback on the candidates they refer. This means your recruiters will receive personal feedback for every referral that comes through social media.

*This personalized link is customized with your company branding and will direct the candidate straight to your job description and application form.

In addition to social sharing and personalized links, Talent Scouts also have the option of making an application for a job on behalf of a candidate. The Talent Scout can simply upload the candidate’s information, including their name and email address. The candidate will then be sent an email and asked to finalize their application before it is forwarded to your HR department.
