Manage my saved SmartMatch candidates via the HR platform

Available for the following HR plans: Standard, Premium, Platinum
Available for the following user access level: Admin   

A recruitment module helps companies organise candidates for hiring and recruitment purposes. The SmartMatch feature in our Recruitment module will provide you with a list of possible candidates that match one of your currently offered roles. For example, if you need a new product engineer, you can use our SmartMatch feature to view a list of available candidates.

On the Saved Candidates screen, you can view, connect with, message, shortlist, and delete your saved candidates. You can also add them to your talent pool.

Important

SmartMatch is currently available with ‌your paid HR subscription on a pre-release trial. We do not currently charge you to see candidate recommendations or hire any of the recommended candidates. We are working hard to improve the effectiveness of SmartMatch with the aim of making it the best way to find talent. Further details regarding the full release of SmartMatch will be announced soon.

For People Managers and Hiring Managers, please refer to this article to learn more about your user access: SmartMatch questions answered via the HR platform.

Further information

Where else on the platform can I use SmartMatch?

We have SmartMatch enabled ‌by default in the Recruitment module for admins and owners, and hiring managers with access. In addition, SmartMatch can be used in the employee file and active job listings in the Recruitment module. You can refer to the following articles to see how to use SmartMatch on other areas on the platform:

Will SmartMatch recommend my employees to other employers?

No. Your employees only see jobs available within your organisation through the Swag app. We exclude recommending all active employees on the Employment Hero platform to any organisation.

We rely on ‌account emails to track users that should not be recommended for external roles. We also encourage you to make sure employees have their personal email addresses on the employee file, so those can be excluded from SmartMatch results as well.

To learn how to include this information in the employee file, please refer to the Editing Data section in this article: How do I manage employee personal details and change account emails via the HR platform?
