An Employee Portal gives you a place where current employees can refer candidates for open positions, or even apply to positions themselves. When you enable your employee portal, you can get your whole company involved in the recruiting process.
The Employee Portal is available to customers on Growth, Business, and Pro plans.
Admin permission is required to manage the employee portal.
The employee portal is a simplified version of the career portal. It takes its styling and options from your career site's settings, but doesn’t include the Employees, Media, Perks & Benefits, Testimonials, and Links sections.
Employees can access the portal with a direct link or from your company’s career portal. You can also restrict access to the employee portal by email domain, in case you only want your employees to have access.

How to use the employee portal
Employees can access the employee portal from your company’s career portal, or with a direct link to the URL (found in the employee portal settings). They’ll need to enter their email address and will get a sign-in link via email.
Once they’re in, they can apply to positions (including internal positions), add referrals for other openings, and get custom referral links they can send to external candidates.
To use the employee portal:
Access the portal from a direct link or the Employees link at the top of your public career portal.
Enter your email address to request a sign-in link.
Check your email and use the magic link to access the employee portal.
Click or scroll to view job openings.
Click Apply to apply for positions.
Click Add Referral to enter details for the candidate you’re referring for the job.
Click the share icon (three connected dots) to get a shareable referral link.
Note: If your pipeline includes an Internal Applicants stage, employees who apply through your employee portal will be added to that stage instead of an Applied stage.
Employee referral links
With referral links enabled, employees can share a custom link for their friends and colleagues to apply with. When someone applies with their link, the employee will be credited with that referral.
Employee referrers are shown on the Details section of the candidate’s profile, and in the Referred Candidates report.
