What are the key features of the Odoo Referrals app?
Here’s everything you can do by installing the Odoo Referrals module.
Recommend job openings to the right profiles
Odoo Referrals makes targeted referrals easy with several user-friendly features :
- Quick job sharing via email : Employees can refer multiple job openings by clicking "Email a friend" directly from the main dashboard.
- Access to all open job listings : Employees can view the full list of currently available positions along with their descriptions.
- Social media sharing : Each job offer includes shareable links for platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
- Personalized emails for specific referrals : Users can select a particular job and send it to a specific contact. The email includes a tracking link to tie the candidate to the referring employee.
Gamify the referral process
Turn your traditional HR process into an engaging employee experience with rules, rewards, and an interactive interface.
Each employee can create a custom avatar to represent them in the system. When they earn points (by submitting referrals, having candidates hired, etc.), they level up and receive rewards accordingly. You decide the type of rewards: bonuses, gift cards, or internal perks. Customize them to match your company culture.
Employees can track their referral performance via a personal dashboard showing how many candidates they’ve referred, how many are in process, and how many have been hired. Leaderboards rank employees based on accumulated points.
Customize the interface
Odoo Referrals allows for visual and functional customization. As mentioned earlier, you can define your own rewards, set different achievement levels (like bronze, silver, gold), rename them and personalize the avatars.
Admins can also create and manage alerts for teams, these messages appear at the top of the dashboard and can contain text, links, or URLs with an expiration timeframe.
