Adding recruitment feedback

Summary

A step by step guide on adding recruitment feedback

You get to use SA Youth for free, our ask is simple however: please provide recruitment feedback (whether you hired or not) within 4 weeks of the opportunity advert's closing date. Our ability to offer this product and service free of charge is dependent on receiving feedback from you so that we can prove to our funders that we're helping to create meaningful employment opportunities for South Africa's youth.

By sharing all recruitment feedback, you're not only keeping SA Youth free to use, but you're contributing to our youth unemployment rate and improving our ranking methodology making your future ranked applicant lists even more relevant. Additionally, you're keeping talent that were not recruited informed and motivated.
