Referees

The Referees page will only collect basic referee data for you to store and contact manually if required. The system will not automatically chase the referees added via this page for a reference.

Basic Referee submission

The process is as follows

On the Referees page of the registration, staff will be asked to add their referee details
- Name
- Email
- Phone
- Relationship
In Settings > Staff registration > Manage the registration form > Referees > Edit you can manage the total referees that are required to be added
To view the details submitted on this page you must go to Staff profile > Main details tab > Referees

References

The References page of the staff registration will allow staff to add multiple referee details and then the system will automatically chase these referees to supply a reference.

Automatic Reference process

The process is as follows

On the References page of the registration, staff will be asked to add their referee details
- You can change the minimum references required in Settings > Manage the registration form > References > Edit
Staff will then be presented with the following dialogue upon pressing + Add referee details
- Staff can now add the following details for their referee:
  - Type
    - Personal (e.g. doctor, lawyer, magistrate, priest etc.)
    - Academic (e.g. teacher or lecturer)
    - Professional (employer)
  - Name
  - Email
    - The email address has a verification checker to ensure it is legitimate
  - Phone
  - I can confirm that this referee can be contacted for a reference
    - This must be ticked to submit a referee
Once added you can edit or remove the referee details already added or add another reference
Upon pressing submit an email will be sent to this referee asking for a reference
- You can determine the reminder email frequency to the referee in Settings > Staff registration > Manage the registration form > References > Edit until a reference is submitted or until the system stops reminding the referee, ie, the referee may have chosen not to give a reference
  - In this example
    - We have set the next email reminder to be sent in 4 days from the initial submission in the registration form.
    - We have said to stop sending reminders after 14 days
    - We have said to chase every 2 after the first reminder and up until the 14-day reminder limit
The referee will receive an email similar to this
- There will be a link in the email to view the form to add the reference. Please see the reference forms for each type of referee at the end of this article.
- You can manage the email templates used during this process in Settings > Messaging Options > Manage the email templates
  - These three templates can be managed by clicking on Edit. Please do not remove any tags added to the body of the templates
  - Note that staff are also sent a reminder at the same time that the referee is sent their reminder thus prompting staff to follow up with the referee as well
You can view the submitted references in the Staff profile > References tab
- Click on the button in the View column to review the details of the submitted reference
- Click on Action >
  - Edit to amend the details of a referee
  - Delete to remove the referee and the reference
  - Request to send out a reminder to the referee
    - This might be used if a previous reference link has expired or you have updated the email address of the referee

Track staff registrations via a referral URL

Creating a registration referral URL

You can track staff registrations via the source of the registration link, ie:

From Facebook
From your website
From Google ad words
From a third-party website
Etc

You can create custom registration referral URL's in the following format:

https://yoursystemname.staffed.it/registration?ref=your-referral-code-here

For example, if we want to place a registration link on Facebook and track all staff that register via this link we can create the following referral registration page URL:

https://yoursystemname.staffed.it/registration?ref=facebook

This will now track and log all the staff registered via this URL as coming from the registration page on Facebook.

The referral code will be added to the contact page of the registration process as shown and not editable:

Downloading the referral codes

You can view the referral code on the contact page of the staff profile
The referral code is included in the staff export on the staff search page
