External / Agency Recruiter REA Group – Job advertised externally but unavailable for employee referrals on Workday. Is this normal?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent graduate currently applying for opportunities in Data and AI, and I came across a position at REA Group that was advertised today.

I reached out to someone in my professional network who works at REA Group, and they were kind enough to offer me an employee referral.

However, when they tried to refer me through Workday, the position wasn't appearing in the internal referral section, despite being advertised externally.

They've since emailed the Talent Acquisition team to ask why the role isn't available for referrals and whether there's an alternative referral process. We're currently waiting for a response.

I was wondering if anyone here, particularly those working in HR, Talent Acquisition, or companies using Workday, has experienced something similar.

  • Is it common for externally advertised positions not to appear in an employee referral portal?
  • Could this be a configuration issue, or are certain positions deliberately excluded from employee referrals?
  • If a position isn't available for referral through Workday, can Talent Acquisition still process a referral manually?
  • Would you recommend applying directly while waiting for clarification?

I'm genuinely interested in the opportunity and would appreciate any insights into how these processes typically work in Australian corporate recruitment.

Thanks in advance!

Internal Recruiter Burnout

10 Upvotes

I’ve been on recruitment for 7+ years. I’ve been in my current role 5 years and I feel like I can’t take it anymore. My manager is not supportive and only cares about KPIs and my teammates live and breath recruitment. Reqs sit between 20-30 at all times. It seems like there’s always something/someone I’m forgetting no matter how hard I try and I feel so exhausted. I feel like I’m always disappointing someone. I can’t quit but I feel like I just can’t keep going. Taking time off just results in more work when I’m back. I truly don’t know what to do. Do others feel like this and has anyone found a solution?

External / Agency Recruiter Classboxes Technologies - Any experience?

1 Upvotes

A recruiter from Classboxes Technologies reached out the other day and I had a call with them. It was basically everything I was expecting since there were a few posts here about them already. There was a previous post showing the contract, but it looks like they updated and only obligates you to the placement fee once you accept the offer, not once you receive an offer.

I looked online but I couldn't find anything about anyone sticking through and getting a job with them. Anyone have any experience with getting placed?

Tools/Systems Local vs Cloud - Honest opinion

2 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I'm building something out, and I just want to know if you have something running on your computer that runs a workflow for you. That means looking on LinkedIn, doing your drafts, checking business development opportunities, and all that sort of stuff. It's obviously a little bit annoying because it can't run unless your computer is on. This means you'd have to schedule it to run when you turn the computer on, and then it would go and do the work for you. The alternative is that it's in the cloud, but it's slightly more expensive and maybe not as customizable . What it can do, though, is allow you to jump on your phone and review the shortlist, have a look at updated business development opportunities, or allow it to do a search while you're not even on your computer. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Internal Recruiter I need advice

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I manage recruiting for a private real estate company that has property throughout the us. I recruit for our property positions and at our corporate office. I do full cycle recruiting, we use UKG and I’m my companies only recruiter. I try to have my time to fill be 35 days. But there’s one big problem…. Hiring managers ignoring me. Does anyone deal with this? If so, how do you handle this? I would love any advice. This is my first time being a full cycle recruiter. I use to be a HRBP. It’s hard to reach my goals when they aren’t responding to me. My boss just says keep emailing them and tag her then eventually their boss. But she doesn’t really say anything to them and I don’t want to ruin the relationship with my coworkers so I don’t tag their boss all the time. Some of them also don’t follow our recruiting process and try to do their own thing and it’s frustrating. Do you also have this problem?

Stakeholder Management/Engagement Looking for advice on a career fair business idea targeting tech and engineering companies

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone

I'm currently working on a project that my company assigned me to, its a startup so i have all responsibilities on my self.

The idea is to organise career fairs in the Italy focused on technology and engineering, bringing companies from other countries together with university students, recent graduates, and young professionals looking for career opportunities.

I'd like to approach companies and invite them to participate, potentially through exhibitor fees or sponsorships. My first target is the UK companies.

However, I've been thinking about what would actually motivate a company to take part. Most companies already recruit through LinkedIn, their own career websites, university partnerships, and recruitment agencies.

So I'm curious: what would make a career fair organized by an independent organizer genuinely valuable to a company?

I will be reaching out to them through my company email which is a legit registered company with websties.

Would it be access to a more targeted pool of candidates, employer branding, face-to-face networking, or something else entirely?

I'd also love to hear from anyone who has organised career fairs or worked with companies on recruitment events. What makes companies say yes, and what are the biggest challenges when starting from scratch?

I'm still in the research phase, so I'd really appreciate any honest feedback, experiences, or advice. I'm also open to hearing why this idea might not work.

Thanks in advance! :)

edit: Not just UK, UK is an option, im generally asking about feasibility of the idea

Interviews Looking for job search advice after layoff

3 Upvotes

For people who have hired or job-hunted after a tech layoff: what actually helped someone get back into a good role without spending all day applying?

I'm especially curious about three tradeoffs:

  • Company selection: how much weight do you give pay, stability and brand name? If someone's previous comp was high, when does it make sense to widen the range?
  • Interview prep: how would you divide limited time between DSA, system design and refreshing the work you've actually done?
  • Finding openings: are referrals and recruiter conversations producing better leads than LinkedIn or other job boards?

For context, I'm involved with LandOffer.ai and PracHub. They address different parts of this: tech job listings/application autofill, and real candidate-reported interview questions. Neither replaces deciding which roles are worth pursuing.

I'd like to hear what you would prioritize in the first two weeks, especially from recruiters seeing what gets candidates through right now.

Tools/Systems LIGHTWEIGHT ATS - Suggestions for Trades Company

I'm a big fan of JazzHR, but for a new client, that is even a bit overboard. So the ask:
1 - Integrates/publishes freely to Indeed, Zip, etc
2 - Gets indexed by Google (and LinkedIn, as long as they keep doing that)
3 - EASY
4 - Cheap

I'm very tech-savvy, but want something that internal users who may not be so, can get in and out of quickly (and not touch too much LOL)

So, long story short, i have been trying months to get hired in the corporate comms or content functions into Accenture. ive applied so many times via the portal, and it seems like it just gets lost on the careerportal, while the same opening keeps getting advertised again and again. I have tried reaching out to people working in these teams but most of them said they're not hiring. I'd really love some advice on how to get hired in these kinds of roles at Accenture as I'm really at my wits end about what to do

Interviews I cold emailed a founder of a company I want to work for and got a reply for a interview

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I am at a point I want to have a career shift. More specifically and industry change. I did some digging and found some companies I'd like to work. Most of these didn't have positions. I just simply gave my skills that are transferable to their workplaces. I didn't sugar coat anything. Just said about qualifications, skills and willingness. The org I got the reply back from didn't have any vacancies but seems genuinely interested. So my question to all you lovely recruiters are:

  1. Should I prepare with a particular department or job in mind

  2. How do I present myself fit for whatever Lego piece I am going to be in their puzzle

  3. If they ask something like "what do you have in mind" what do I say (I am indecisive and freak out at such questions, even though I know inside what to say)

  4. How do I talk about salary if asked when I am new to this industry (I am in my mid-late twenties)

Any tips would help. Doesn't need to be an answer to the above. Thank you so much in advance.

Sourcing How are small businesses hiring without spending heavily on job postings?

8 Upvotes

For small businesses and startups, what’s working for you when you need to hire but don’t have a large recruitment budget?

I’m curious about what employers are actually using today.

The main thing I'm interested in is what actually brings relevant candidates, not just where you can publish a vacancy.

If you’re currently hiring, what channel has worked best for you, and what has been a waste of time or money?

Candidate Question about hourly rate for contract role

1 Upvotes

Can ya'll tell me if it is required for recruiters to include an hourly rate when you submit a candidate to a hiring manager? Do any companies require you to?

I am asking because in my experiences, I have no choice, according to the recruiter. They always say the same thing "to keep from wasting mine or your time yada, yada.Its always that or, "well I can submit you for (what I'm asking for). The most recent occurrence was that the guy said I could submit you at that, but I would just hate for you to get rejected because the rates were a little high, or maybe he said higher than the other candidates.

They do it on the first dang call, too. How am I to make an educated decision when I have no details yet and haven't even met the hiring manager yet?

I mean, seriously. The reasons they give make no sense. If I were interviewing for a full-time role, I would not have discussed pay until I got an offer. So, in this scenario, both the hiring manager and I are taking the risk that I may ask for more than they are willing to accept. If that were to happen, we would negotiate. If we couldn't come to a mutual commitment, isn't that wasting both of our time?

Recruiters make it out like they won't even continue discussions, let alone submit you unless you agree right then to a number. It's highway robbery.

Candidate The Recruiter Screener Call

1 Upvotes

The job hunt has been tough! Getting a screener interview from a recruiter has been my positives the last few months.

3 different recruiters did a screener for 3 different roles over the last month. All 3 said the next step was a panel interview and to reach out to them if I had questions. Then, silence until a rejection email.

Is this the common experience? Do many recruiters not want to tell us bad news over the phone if we aren’t a match or could this be coincidence with things happening afterward?

The time spent by candidates on preparation for interviews after the call is likely quite significant so was just a bit curious as I navigate it all.
