Configuring default employer approval settings will determine what permissions (if any) an employer is automatically given when you approve them to connect with your institution.
The more permissions you grant automatically, the less manual work your staff will have to do to grant specific permission approvals, and the faster employers will be able to engage with your students and schools.
For example:
- If you tend to be selective about which employers can post interview schedules, you’ll want to require manual approval for this permission.
- If you allow any employer approved by your school to post events, you’d want to automatically approve this permission.
The choice is yours and really depends on how much time you spend manually approving employers and whether or not you plan to grant different employers different permissions.
To set your school’s default employer approval settings:
1. Click on your name in the upper-right corner of the screen to display the Account Settings Menu. From the list of options, click School Settings. This will bring you into your institution's profile page.
2. From the menu on the left of the page, click Employer Approval Preferences.
3. Click to check the box(es) next to the permissions you would like to grant to newly approved employers moving forward.
- Post Events: grants employers the permission to request events at your institution. The career center will still need to review event requests.
- Post Interview Schedules: grants employers the permission to request on-campus interviews be posted at your institution. The career center will still need to review interview requests, unless you also check Auto-Approve Interview Schedules.
- Post Work Study Jobs: grants employers the permission to request work study jobs
4. Auto Approval
- Auto-approve all jobs from these employers: automatically approves all jobs from all employers approved moving forward.
- Auto-approve all interview schedules from these employers: automatically approves all interview schedules from all employers approved moving forward.
5. Add a default approval comment for new employers
Write a comment that is applied to all employers when they are approved. Employers will be notified of this comment. The staff member that approves the employer will have their name listed by the comment.
Toggle this feature on if you wish to utilize it.
5. Allow new employers to post Work-Study jobs
New employers that have not yet connected with your school will be able to post Work-Study jobs to your school. If the employers are approved, they will automatically be granted permissions to post Work-Study jobs.
6. Click the blue button Save Changes when you're finished.
Upon approving employer connection requests through Job Based Approvals, the checked permissions will automatically be granted to newly approved employers moving forward. This setting does not impact any employers that have already been approved previously.
These settings can be edited at any time by repeating these steps, again with no impact to existing approved employers – only impacting newly approved employers after the changes are saved.
From the company profile page, you can manage individual permissions per employer at any time.
Note: From the employer perspective, once the connection is approved, your school will need to be added to their Favorites list in order for them to see your school appear as an option for Events/Jobs/Interviews.
