Size Matters – How big is your network?

As the Credit Crunch continues, the strength of your business network will become increasingly important as redundancies (think UBS, Citi, Merrill Lynch – Goldman's even) increase and competition for fewer jobs intensifies.


More competition for jobs, means employers have more applications to sort and filter candidates to a level that they can handle at the interview stage. To handle screening and selection workloads employers are involving their employees – the people who know what it takes to be successful at the company – to filter candidate applications.

FYI 004 - Accept / Reject Candidates

If you have received an 'invite to refer' notification email or text you should login, check out the potential candidate's CV and decide whether to refer them.



To do this simply login to your Mole Profile and click on Message Centre. You should see an email called 'I'd like to introduce myself' from the candidate which looks a little like this:






Click on the link to review their CV and then decide whether to accept / reject their invite based on whether you feel they will be successful at your company. Easy.


If you accept - you can then email them and start getting to know them more before you refer them. If you reject, you will not be able to contact them but new candidates who you can refer will be able to introduce themselves to you.

Finally, you can see the status of all your referrals via the 'My Referrals' page.

Good luck with your referrals - don't forget to keep your profile up to date and tell our members about your role, and who you'd like to be contacted by in future
