Review, Accept, Decline
The job offer will be visible for a month to the pool of students looking for jobs, who will then apply to fill your vacancy. You will be able to review the O-Link CV’s and provide provisional acceptance to those you like, and decline the others, knowing that your inbox will not be flooded as you can control the number of applications you will accept.
Job Commitment
Once provisional acceptance has been made, you will have access to the contact details of those students while you await their commitment to take on the job.

Under your “Current Applications” tab, a yellow dot signals a pending application, a green dot signals provisional acceptance and once the talent has confirmed they are willing to work, a blue dot will signal this confirmed acceptance.
What happens if I forget my password?
On the login screen, simply click the “Forgot Password” button and an email will be sent to you with instructions to reset your password.

Once a Student has been confirmed (blue dot) for either a job or an interview, the Student will be able to email the respective Recruiter under the “My Applications” page.
