1. Start your search: click on the pencil icons in our Smart Search bar to set your specific role requirements starting with job title, work type and location. Hit "Find top talent" after setting your criteria.
💡Tip: be specific with your location - for example, search by city: Cape Town, South Africa.
2. Uncover the best matches: you'll get instant access to a curated list of jobseeker profiles tailored to your search. Starting with your top match, you’ll also see additional candidates who meet your criteria, each one a strong potential fit for your role.
3. Get to know your matches: select the view profile button on each profile card, to take a closer look at their CV. From work preferences and experience to salary or rate expectation, education, skills and languages.
💡 Tip: before you can message and connect with jobseekers, you must complete your company profile.
4. Get connected: to connect with a candidate about a job opportunity, use the 'Send Details' button from the expanded view or click 'Message' on the profile results view. Fill in the key details about the opportunity, and hit 'Send Message'. The form will be sent directly to the candidate’s inbox for their review.
5. Chat directly: if the candidate is intrigued and accepts, a two way in-platform chat is opened and you will now be able to chat directly about the role - no hoops or middlemen required. All your conversations will be neatly organised in your One Degree chat inbox, making follow-ups a breeze.
6. Bookmark your shortlists: keep track of standout candidates by bookmarking them for future outreach or positions.
