Overview

This process allows an employee to endorse a candidate's job application. When a candidate identifies you as a referral source on a job application, you will receive an Endorse task in UNI Works. Alternatively, you can refer a candidate for a job which sends them a referral link via the email you provide. Please see the Refer Candidate job aid for more information.
