Jobs

This is where you post and manage your jobs ("My Jobs"). View and submit for jobs in your network of recruiters you are connected to (either directly or through a pod). You can also browse jobs you are not connected to but have been posted publicly.

When posting new jobs be sure you determine which connections you wish to share the job with in sharing options (default is all), and whether or not you'd like recruiters who you are not connected to see them by leaving global checked. Get the ball rolling and enter some jobs now!

Add a job

Most of this is self-explanatory, but here's a couple of tips. The Company Name field is for your eyes only. The Company Alias field is what everyone else will see. For example, if your client was MTV Networks, you could enter Global Media Company in Alias.

You might notice that there's only a Maximum Salary field and not a range. If there's any other information about the compensation you want to include, like a bonus or options, put it in the additional details section. This section is shared with other recruiters. Don't forget to choose the right sharing options. You can specify which pods you want to share this job with, or share it with recruiters that you're directly connected to. By default, your jobs are publically viewable.

"Split terms" is the percentage of the client fee you're offering to give to a recruiter that refers you a candidate that is successfully placed. This is typically 50%.

The client fee percentage is the percent of the first year's salary that the company is paying you for a successful placement.

If one of your jobs becomes filled or otherwise not available, remove it from The Hire Syndicate by clicking on the job and either deactivating or deleting it. Deactivation will remove it from your pods and connections, but you can reactivate it later. Deleting it means the position is removed from THS forever, along with any candidate submission for that position.

Candidates

This is where you store your candidates. Candidate submitted for your jobs do not appear here (they are in the deals section). When adding candidates, be sure to attach a resume and paste only the resume body without candidate contact info in the Resume Text section. This will insure your candidate is initially sent anyonomized. Once the receiving recruiter accepts your candidate they are able to see the candidates contact info. Go ahead and enter some candidates now!!

Connections

This is where you create and manage your connections to recruiters and pods. A pod is a group of recruiters. You can connect to a recruiter directly or to a group via a pod. The public tab is where you can find recruiters and pods who have chosen to be public. If you wish for your profile (or a pod that you created) not to appear in the public tab be sure to unclick the public check box in your profile (via settings). Go ahead and create a pod or find one in the public tab to join and start sharing jobs now!

Deals

This is where you track deals for jobs that you manage, or deals with candidates you have submitted to other recruiters. The jobs section will only show your jobs with candidates in process. Clicking on the status section will bring up the deal tracker which will enable you to move the candidate along through the deal process while keeping the other recruiter in the loop.
