Adding a Sub Vendor to a Job
Once you've made all the changes you wish to a sub-vendor agency, you're ready to provide jobs for the sub-vendor to work with.
1. In the Job screen, add the sub-vendor widget (if it hasn't been already). Do this by using the Add Widget button at the top right of the screen.
2. Scroll down to the bottom and locate the Job Sub Vendors widget.
3. From the drop-down list, you will see all of your added sub-vendor agencies. You can add more than one if more than one sub-vendor will be working with this position.
4. Once an agency has been added, you'll want to notify them, so they can start working on the position as soon as possible. Clicking the Notify button sends an email to the individual, allowing them to set up and create their vendor portal.
5. In order for the sub-vendor to start working on a job, you'll need to provide them with access. On the top right-hand side, click the Create User Record button. This will send an email to the contact asking them to create a password, so that they can log in to their sub-vendor portal.
The Sub Vendor Portal
When the sub-vendor logs into their portal, the first screen they will see directs them to their Account Representative.
1. At the top of the following screen, they can click on the Jobs tab; this will show them all of the jobs where they have been granted access to work. The sub vendor's main purpose at this stage is to locate and identify candidates that would have the best fit for the positions assigned to them.
2. When a sub-vendor thinks they have found a good fit, they can submit a candidate for the client's review by clicking the Submit Candidate button. This opens the Submit to Job flyout.
3. In the flyout, they can Upload a Resume. This will populate the flyout with the candidate's information. The sub-vendor can also include any notes they would like to be sent to the representative. Clicking Submit sends the candidate.
4. After the candidate has been submitted, the sub-vendor will see a running list of all of the candidates submitted for a position.
The Talent Screen
At this point, the Avionté user can review those profiles from the Talent screen. The Vendor Applicants bucket has a running list of all the vendor-submitted applicants.
1. From here, the Avionté user has the ability to take the next steps; for example, they can Pipeline a candidate to the position, they can Nominate them to the position, or they can Decline them for the position.
2. If the Avionté user decides to nominate a candidate for a position, their profile can be found in the Nominated bucket at the top of the screen. If that candidate is Started on a position, the Avionté user will be able to proceed with hiring that person.
Notifications
Once a candidate has been started, the sub-vendor will receive a notification that their candidate has been placed. They will see a record of this within their Jobs tab. A Currently Placed sub-menu option will be displayed, which will display all of the processed, started contractors submitted by the sub-vendor.
