Speculative application

A speculative application is a spontaneous application that does not relate to a specific job within the job market. This is particularly suitable for visitors to your job market who cannot identify directly with one job, but would nonetheless like to work for you.

Activation of speculative applications

Activation is realized by branch. To do so, navigate to a specific branch profile in the settings for the branches. Then, under the "Set up job subscription and speculative application" tab, you can activate or deactivate speculative applications in the external and in the internal (Intranet) job market.

Select the branch

If an applicant files a speculative application via the global job market, the applicant may choose the branch office on his / her own. Of course, only those branch offices are available for selection for which speculative applications have been activated under Settings. It is necessary to show an alternative link via the Configuration mode in the global job market: "Choose a branch for speculative application". In a first step, this link takes the applicant to the selection of the branch for the speculative application. See also Create new speculative application.

Renaming the "speculative application" title

By default, in the system speculative applications are allocated to the "Initiativbewerbung/Speculative application/Candidature spontannée" virtual job. In order to re-name the title of this job in the solution, proceed as follows:

Navigate to the Settings and select the branch under "Branch", at which the designation has to be adapted
Then click on the "Set up job subscription and speculative application" tab and there click on "speculative job settings" (in the menu on the left). Here you can specify the new name that should be displayed in place of "Initiativebewerbung/Speculative application/Candidature spontannée". This name is finally taken over for all speculative applications in the job title column.

Access authorization for speculative applications

The access authorization/visibility for the submitted speculative applications behaves according to the branch settings and the respective assigned user roles of the persons within the branch.

Speculative applications to a branch office are also assigned automatically to the main branch office simultaneously.
Persons who are assigned to the main branch office thus have access to all speculative applications.
In addition, a so-called branch restriction can be made in the respective user profile of a user (see also the explanations on the User profile). As a result of activation, the user will only be permitted to access the data for his branch, e.g. applications that relate only to his own job market/his own branch.
