Telling a friend about a job

Tell A Friend sends a job to someone you know by email, with a link back to the job. You don’t need an account to use it.

For site owners

Tell A Friend only appears while it is turned on in your settings. It is off on a new site. See Job seeker settings.

Send a job to a friend

1. Find the job in a job list, on its own page, or in your shortlist.

2. Select Tell A Friend.

3. In the Tell A Friend window, fill in:

   Field	What to enter
   Your Name	Your name, so your friend knows who sent it. Required.
   Your Email	Your email address. The email is sent from this address. Required.
   Friend Email	Your friend’s email address. Required.
   Friend Email (second box)	A second friend’s address. Optional.
   Message	A short note to your friend. Required, but see What your friend receives.

4. If you are not signed in, complete the captcha if the window shows one.

5. Select Send To Friends.

You see “Email has been sent to friend[s]”. Select Close to return to the job.

What your friend receives

Your friend gets an email from your name and address. It says you sent it through the site, gives the job title and category, and has a View Job Detail button that opens the job on the site. The exact wording comes from the site’s email template.

In 2.7.0, the text you type under Message is not included in the email: the email shows your email address in its place. If you want to add a personal note, send it to your friend separately.

Tip

Send the job from its own page. In 2.7.0, an email sent from a job list with a filter bar at the top, such as Newest Jobs, arrives without the job title.
