Before you can start posting roles and matching with some amazing candidates, you will first have to set up your Company Profile. It's quick and easy to do!
Step 1 : Login and head to your dashboard
Log in and if you're not automatically taken to your dashboard, you’ll find the button for it at the top right hand corner of the page. Click it!
Step 2: Edit your profile
On the dashboard, there will be a few subsections. One of them is called Edit Profile. You’ll see a button that says Edit Your Profile. Click it!
Step 3: Fill out your company information
Fill in all the important information about your company, you’ll also be asked to write a short description. This is just a quick synopsis of who you are and what you do, you can use this to make your company stand out.
Step 4: Add your company benefits
Now for the fun part: perks! Pick out and showcase to candidates all the wonderful things you offer. This is great for attracting top talent, so make sure you’ve got them all even though they might be worded slightly differently. If there are any missing from our list, just reach out to [email protected] to let us know, and we'll get them added on for you.
🧡 Tip: The benefits that you select will act as the master list that will be applied to any new job posting. Don’t worry though, you’ll always be able to edit them before setting the job live. So if you offer a slightly different package for the odd role, no problem.
Step 5: Add your social media links
Adding social media links help Candidates get a feel for the Company Culture. LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter (X) or even TikTok, Let them see the real you!
Step 6: Fill in the culture snapshot
Culture Time! Pick 25- 30 words to describe your company if they were a person. This will make your Culture Snapshot. Candidates will get a feel for your working environment and how well they might fit in or even add to the culture of your brand. This stage and the next is exactly the same as what all Candid candidates complete on sign up.
🧡 Tip: Some of the words here might feel “negative”, especially when it comes to describing a business or brand. But remember that ordinarily this
Step 7 : Write a short company description
This brief summary won’t be shown anywhere, this is private your account. The Candid platform will combine this with the words you’ve chosen in the previous step, to map your company culture across our five different vectors. Don’t worry about coming across in the best possible light, the more accurate you are, the better chance we have of matching you with the most suitable candidates.
Step 8 : Upload your logo and images
Say Cheese! Upload your Company Logo a (500 x 500) perfect square! You can also upload up to 3 images and add a link to a video if you have one. These will be visible in any Rooms that open with a candidate that matches with your job roles. They can show anything you want that shows the vibe of what it's like to work for your company! If you have any issues getting images to be the right size or format, pop them over to us in an email and we'll get them sorted for you.
