Once you've set up an opportunity and applicants start applying, you can use the wide range of features on Manage Applicants to shortlist, invite applicants for interviews, and add recruitment outcomes. SA Youth is here to support you with inclusive hiring every step of the way.

Ranked list of applicants

Find the right talent, inclusively. We inclusively connect you with young people who are most likely to succeed in your opportunity.

While all young people can apply, we offer you a ranked list of applicants considering opportunity requirements, how far the young person lives from the opportunity, problem-solving ability, education, work experience, and self-reported behaviors.

Rank is more than just a feature—it reflects our commitment to finding the right fit for our employers and supporting inclusive hiring to shape the future of our country.

Filtering and shortlisting applicants

Our ranked list of applicants offers a solid foundation for inclusive hiring, starting with applicants who meet all your requirements. Do you need to refine your search further? Our advanced filters empower you to pinpoint applicants who perfectly align with your specific needs.

Requesting and downloading documents

Easily request any necessary documents directly from applicants. They can then conveniently upload the requested documents to their profiles for your review. Remember to only ask for documents that are absolutely necessary for the job you are hiring for. If a matric or driver's license is not required, we recommend not excluding youth who don't have these documents. Follow step-by-step here: Requesting and downloading applicant documents
