Department Wise Referrals

HR admin will now have the ability to create Departments in Naukri Referral Tool. These Departments can mimic the organizational division of work force and help the HR to categorize Referral jobs by the departments they belong to. Employees can also be assigned a department.

When the department settings will be ON –

  • the employee would be able to see separate tabs of each Department. Under these tabs the employees will see the jobs belonging to that particular department.
  • Employees can choose to follow departments indicating their interest in knowing about the jobs posted in these departments.
  • The system will use this information while sending the new jobs mailer to the employees.
  • Thus each employee will receive a custom made email for them with jobs belonging to the departments they follow.

 

Only Department Specific Referrals

In addition, the HR admin has an option to restrict the employees to view jobs only from their own departments.

This can be done just by tuning ON ‘Only department specific Referrals’ setting.
In case this setting is turned ON, the employees would not get an option to follow/unfollow departments as they would only be able to see Referral jobs that belong to their own department.
The new jobs mailer will similarly contain only those jobs belonging to the employees’ department.
