Sharing Jobs
How do I refer my friend?
Referring your friends is easy with Social Sourcing!
In fact, there"s two ways to share:
1. Share at any time!
When logged in, you can copy the URL in your browser and paste it in a message to your friend.
Additionally, any time you click a "Copy Link" button, it will generate a unique URL that will give you referral credit when you share it.
2. Share a specific job.
When logged in, click "Recommend Job to Friend" on the job"s detail page. From there you can share the job on Facebook or LinkedIn
Copy and paste your unique referral link into an email if you prefer not to use social networks.
(the available social networks may be different than pictured)How can I track my referral?
Tracking your referrals:
1. After sharing your unique referral link, your friend/contact will enter the site as a referral from you.
2. Once your referral starts their application, you will receive an email notification making you aware of their activity.
3. Within this notification you will be presented with the option to share your insight regarding the candidate. This endorsement will go to Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District"s Talent Acquisition Team.
4. Should you wish to follow-up further on the applicant"s status, you will need to reach out to the appropriate Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District recruiter and/or hiring manager.

Can I upload my friend"s resume?
Uploading a Friend"s Resume:
You sure can! Each position on the Social Sourcing site has an "Upload Friend"s Resume" button. Clicking this will prompt a window to appear, requesting certain information about your friend. Fill that out, upload their resume, and submit.
Once you"ve done that, an application will be started on their behalf with you tagged as the referrer. They"ll receive an email allowing them to continue the process, while you"ll be able to endorse the candidate, providing more insight to recruiters.
What are the "Top Referrers"?
Social Sourcing Top Referrers:
How do I become a "Top Referrer"?
The simple answer is... recommend jobs!
Each Social Sourcing user is given a score based on their activity. Points are awarded for sharing links, generating clicks, and/or getting someone to apply.
To view your stats, check out your referral activity on the portal page.
What if I don"t want to be included in "Top Referrers"?
No worries, we understand.
Your privacy is important to us, and thus, any user can prevent their activity from being shown on the Social Sourcing site. To do so, access the "Privacy" section of your user settings.
By deselecting the option to publish, your information will no longer appear in the "Activity Feed" as well as the "Top Referrers" sections.
Applying for Jobs
Are employees able to apply?
Yes, and starting your application is easy!
Here are three quick steps to follow:
1. Find the job you want to apply for.
You may have already been directed straight to a job from a link sent by a friend. You can also search all job openings on the Social Sourcing site from the portal page.
2. Click "Apply for Job".
A window will pop up asking you to input your first name, last name, and email address. If you were referred, this will be denoted as well.
3. Start your application!
Fill in your full name and email address, and hit "Start Your Application". You"ll then be redirected into Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District"s careers site to fill out the remainder of your information, and be treated as an internal candidate.
Can my friends receive Job Alerts?
Yes! Signing up for job alerts is quick and easy.
How can they sign up?
Your friends can simply click the "Sign Up for Job Alerts" button on the Social Sourcing homepage, or on any job page, and enter their information to start receiving alerts. Depending on the interests, locations, and frequency they select, we"ll start sending them emails with great jobs they might be interested in.
Will I still get credit if they apply later?
You sure will. Any link you share through the system is unique to your account. So, if your friend comes to the site as your referral and signs up for job alerts, they are still marked as your referral. If, months later, they apply from an alert they received and are hired - you"ll still get the credit!
Generating Referrals
Tracking & Analytics
Can I receive notifications about my jobs?
