This sourcing plugin is an extension of the TRAFFIT recruitment system that improves sourcing candidates for specific positions and for building your candidate database.
As a TRAFFIT user, you can download it for free and install it in your Chrome browser! The plugin is unlimited - there is no limit to the number of candidates you can add to your database with it.
How to install TRAFFIT sourcing plugin?
To use the sourcing plugin you need:
Chrome web browser (compatible with the plugin),
a user account in TRAFFIT.
You can download the plugin from Chrome Store:
To install the plugin, click Add to Chrome in the top right corner. A message on the screen will appear asking for your permission to add the plugin to your browser.
Click Add extension.
The sourcing plugin will be listed in your browser, on the list of available extensions. You can pin it to the list so that it is always at hand (recommended!).
A tutorial will be launched when you first click on the plug-in's icon, and at the end, the plugin will ask you for authorization.
To do this, enter the address where you log into the system and log into your TRAFFIT. The language of the plugin will adapt to the language of your browser.
Voila!
The plugin is ready to help you with sourcing!
How does the plugin work?
Anytime you click on the plugin's icon, the plugin will pop-up as a separate tab of your browser.
You can use it to add new talents to your pool or check if they already appear there.
How can I check if the candidate already appears in my database using this plugin?
A simple search engine available in the plug-in allows you to search:
1. By e-mail
Candidate's e-mail address is a unique information about the candidate, so if we find it - we will load the full profile in the plug-in.
2. By name & last name
You can search by last name alone or a combination of first name + last name.
We'll show you all the profiles we've found - and you can choose whose profile you're currently viewing.
3. By other attribute (keyword, social media link, etc.)
You can also search by the link to the profile you are viewing and other candidate's attributes you collect in your Traffit.
You may have more results too, so we'll show you all matching profiles for you to choose.
How to add a candidate to Traffit using the sourcing plugin?
If the candidate doesn't appear in your talent pool yet - use "Add candidate" button to add him to your Traffit!
You can assign the candidate to a specific job and add consents in the plugin - if you are sourcing talents for a specific job! Use the blue Add Candidate button after filling in all the data you want to save.
What candidate data can be saved with the plugin??
The plugin allows the following candidate data to be saved and updated:
first name
last name
e-mail
telephone
location (if you use this field on the candidate's profile in your TRAFFIT).
The plugin also allows you to add to or update the candidate's assigned:
tags (one or more)
talents (one or more)
What other activities I can perform using the sourcing plugin?
The plugin allows you to:
add a note,
view the notes added to a candidate,
assign a candidate to a job,
check the candidate's jobs history in the system,
assign consents to a candidate (available when adding him to the system),
moving the candidate to the next stage of the process.
How does the plugin make team sourcing easier?
Self-sourcing and adding candidates to the database are not the only benefits of using the TRAFFIT sourcing plugin.
Recruiting teams using the plugin can easily check whether:
the candidate is already in your database,
the candidate is assigned to a process,
the candidate has already been in some processes in your company,
the candidate already has some tags assigned,
some important notes have been added to the candidate (as in the example below, where the candidate does not wish to be contacted until a certain date),
without having to search for his or her profile in the system.
This improves communication within the recruitment team and avoids situations where several people from the same team are trying to recruit the same candidate at the same time - what candidates consider unprofessional.
How to recognize candidates saved with the plugin?
Candidates added to the database with the plugin will have:
"extension" as the candidate source
the name of the website visible as the application source, with the addition of 'extension' - e.g. "linkedin.com (extension)"
