Overview

In Opportunities, you can explore jobs shared by members of the community, find and reach out to people in your network with experience at companies you're interested in, connect with job referrers to learn more about different roles, and, of course, apply for jobs!

Want to post a job? You can do that too - whether you're a recruiter/employer hiring for a role or someone who just knows of a job and wants to share it with the community, we have a place for you to create a job post!

Some things you can take advantage of in Opportunities include:

  • A traditional Job Posting option for your hiring needs
  • Job Referrals so you can leverage the power of your network to build your career
  • An Indeed integration for faster job creation
  • A list of people with experience at the company for each job, so you can easily find people to reach out to

Below, we'll cover how you can use Opportunities as a Job Seeker and as a Job Poster.

Browse and Apply for Job Opportunities

Lost? Homepage → Opportunities/Jobs 

Looking for your dream job or dream organization?

From the Opportunities tab, you can:

  • Browse jobs and internships using filters and a search bar.
  • Save your searches.
  • Get alerts when new opportunities are posted that align with your search criteria!

And when you've found a job that interests you, it just takes a couple clicks to apply!

Here's how to get started...

Look for the Opportunities tab in your navigation bar! Don't see it? It might be called something else, like "Job Board."

Opportunities goes beyond the traditional job board by making your connections and community a central part of your job search.
 
You can browse through traditional Job Posts (1) and connection-driven Referral Posts (2). Referral Posts are created by members of the community who know of a job at their company or a friend's company, who aren't in charge of hiring for the role, but who want to let the you know about it, be available to answer your questions, and generally share their knowledge about the role.
 
Keep an eye out for the green "Referral" tag on Job Referrals, or go to the Job Referrals tab for a more focused search. And when you find a Job Referral you're interested in, don't hesitate to reach out to the referrer to learn more - they shared the post specifically because they wanted to help people out and share their knowledge of the role.
 
You can also take advantage of filters, search, and a "star" option to save jobs you want to return to later (3); we also offer the ability to set Search Alerts (4), so you can save their searches and get notifications when new jobs are posted that match their search criteria.

When you find a job you're interested in, you can click into it to learn more. Each job will include a list of others on the platform who can share their experience at a particular company (5). This gives you a rare chance to draw on your existing network for referrals and to learn more about roles or companies you're interested in.

You can message Job Referrers to learn more (6), browse through and reach out to others on the platform with experience at a particular company, and, finally, apply to Job Posts (7), either through the platform, Indeed, or a company website (depending on how the poster set up the job).

Share an Opportunity

Do you know of a great opportunity opening up at your organization that you want to share with your school's community? Or are you a recruiter looking for some amazing candidates? Share the role on the Opportunities page!

Our job poster flow is focused on making it easy for you share jobs you're hiring for...or even jobs you're not hiring for but just want to let the community know about!

Here's how to get started

To begin posting a job, look for the blue "Share Opportunity" button on the right side of your screen.

Don't see the "Share Opportunity" button? You may not have job posting permissions. If that's the case, contact your site admins so they can help post the job on your behalf (or upgrade your permissions!).

When you start creating a job, you'll be prompted to choose if you want to refer a role or create a job post to hire for a role.

Once you've chosen to either refer or hire for a role, you'll be able to select a company (1) and browse a list of jobs in Indeed associated with that company (2). If the job you're posting comes up, you can select it to pull in the data from Indeed. If you don't see it, you can simply create a new post (3).

Then, you'll be able to enter details about the job (or edit the existing details, if you chose to pull data from Indeed). These details include the job description, location, application info, etc.

You'll be able to preview your job before publishing it. Once you've published it, it may go to an approval queue for an admin to approve before it appears live on the Opportunities page.

Once a job is live on the Opportunities page, you'll be able to view applicants, edit the post, adjust the expiration date, or delete it, using the tools in the upper right corner of the job card.

When job seekers apply to your Job Post, we'll let you know! And if you referred a role, we'll send you an email notification whenever someone reaches out to learn more about an opportunity.
