FAQ Select (Frequently asked questions)

hijob looks like a job board, but it’s not.
hijob Select is your AI streaming service for matching digital talents.

Meaning: hijob „streams“ matching talents to your jobs.
Automatically and quickly. Without you having to search for them manually.

This is how you transform time-consuming Active Sourcing or „Post & Pray“ into time-saving Automatic Sourcing without manual effort.

Our mission is to give everyone an overview of individual opportunities at any time and to show where their skills are welcome.

hijob is the all-encompassing career planner for you and your talents.
We are happy about any kind of job you send us.

However, please keep in mind: unfortunately, we can’t perform miracles either. With difficult jobs that you haven’t had filled for months, we won’t have it too easy either. But of course we do our best to find the best talent for you.

There are job titles, skills, training or study programmes in digitalisation for which there are a seemingly endless number of different names. No one can get through them. The hijob AI keeps track for you and recognises which job titles, which experience or which studies match your qualifications. And it also tells you why.

Our hijob AI…

• understands resumes cohesively
• analyzes thousands of profiles within minutes
• recognizes patterns of sought-after qualifications and skills that are difficult to identify manually
• ensures that any exciting talent is immediately displayed for you to act quickly
• ensures that you save time and money

You have completed your onboarding? Great! Then most of the work is already done for you.
From now on, your work is limited to screening and evaluating the proposed talents.

Your personal contact person will get in touch with you on a regular basis to continuously supervise the cooperation.

On average, our customers view approx. 80 – 100 profiles in 30 minutes – and also send the interview requests in this time. All with just a few clicks.

In order to start Select, the onboarding process must be completed.

As part of the onboarding process, we ask for all the information necessary to start Select: company information such as contact person, address, user of the SELECT dashboard, image pictures and logo for the company profile, etc.

You have provided us with your complete information? Perfect! Then we can start right away!

No, our editorial team will be happy to do that for you.
You have no manual effort at all.

After creating your job ads, it takes between 24 and 48 hours until we present you with the first profiles.
After this initial dispatch, you will immediately receive each profile as soon as our AI discovers a talent that is exciting for you.
To ensure that no valuable time is lost, we will notify you by email that there are new exciting talents in your dashboard.

After receiving talent proposals or direct applications, there are 2 things for you to do:

1. Get excited
2. View the candidate profiles in your SELECT dashboard and give your feedback on whether you would like to get to know the personalities behind the profiles.
   You can do this assessment conveniently by clicking on one of the buttons below the respective profile.

On the right below the profile of a talent you will see a blue Blox. Here you can rate the respective profile.
2 options are available to you:

• »Fits the job« – The talent fits the job.
  The profile appeals to you? Great!
  If you click this button, we will immediately inform the talent about your interest. After all, we love to deliver good news.
  The talent immediately receives your entire job description, including the location, the tasks, the qualifications, the benefits and information about your company.
  Now it is the talent’s turn to evaluate whether they find your offer exciting and would like to be contacted by you.

• »Does not fit at all« – The talent doesn’t fit. Neither to this, nor to any other job.
  Every now and then, our AI links the talents to the wrong jobs.
  If you notice such a case, our advisors will be happy to hear from you.
  Just like us humans, an AI also has to keep learning .
  In this case, the talent does not receive any information about your selection! This button is only intended for our internal quality optimisation.

This is how the path to a „match“ at hijob looks like:

• You rate a talent as interesting with the „Matches Job“ button.
• We send the talent a contact request on your behalf.
• The talent reacts positively to this? Congratulations, you have a „match“!

The talent’s complete application documents and contact details are immediately activated for you in SELECT. Now nothing stands in the way of your dialogue with the talent.
Good luck!

Initially, the profiles of all talents are anonymised. Only when both you and the talent signal interest in an exchange – i.e. when you have a „match“ – will the contact details of the respective talent be automatically activated for you.
From then on, nothing stands in the way of your dialogue and you can get to know the personality behind the profile immediately.

You currently have the option of forwarding candidate profiles to your email address as PDF files. From there you can send them directly to your BMS/ATS, provided your BMS/ATS is able to import emails including attachments.

We also offer integrations with applicant management systems: Softgarden and Personio are already connected, other BMSs will follow.

Of course, we want to make sure that you don’t miss out on any suitable talent.
To this end, we coordinate the qualification requirements of the job advertisements very precisely with you in a personal exchange.
In the process, you decide how narrowly or coarsely filters should be set and what we should pay particular attention to.

This is an iterative process that gets better and better as we work together. After a few passes, we have a good understanding of how you set your priorities and what our hijob AI has to take into account.

On average, every second suggested profile receives an interview request.
However, this figure can vary from sector to sector and from job role to job role.

There are jobs where the rate is higher and there are jobs where the rate is lower. We also find that sometimes very subjective criteria play a role.

There are comparable talents who are assessed as attractive by one company – and as „not suitable“ by others. Therefore, the 50% mentioned is a rough guideline.

We use various measures to ensure that requested talent notices your application and responds to it. For the most part, this is successful – but unfortunately not always. This can have different reasons, but we can’t force anyone’s luck…

About 70% of them are academics.
The pool grows by about 3,000 talents per month, and the trend is rising.

From the time we receive this information, it usually takes one working day (Mon-Fri) until we can start together.

No problem! We can create each location individually for you, including the contact persons.
Onboarding is the ideal opportunity to inform us of the various locations including all contact persons.

In order to link your ATS to hijob Select, access your Select Dashboard.

Click on „Settings“ on the left side.

Now you’ll see a menu you can select your ATS from.

Confirm your selection with a click on „Set up„.
Now you can import matches from Select directly into your ATS.

Your ATS is not displayed in the selection menu? Then there is probably no connection of your ATS to hijob yet. But this can change soon. We are constantly adding new systems. Feel free to give us a hint about which integration we should take care of next.
