Overview
Are you looking for your next big gig? Did a friend just link you to a job posting that simply shouts 🌟YOU🌟? This guide will help you capitalise on all opportunities like this through use of our Applicant-focused product: Indigo Hiring!
All it takes to become an active applicant on Indigo Hiring is creating a user and signing in. After, you can peruse company profiles, get front-row access to available jobs, and delve into comprehensive details about the companies and their job listings.
Moreover, you can monitor the jobs you've applied for and communicate directly with the hiring team through chat, covered in this article.
The Application Process
Navigation
One way to explore a company's available positions on Indigo Hiring is by obtaining a link to their careers page or an open job listing. This might be sent to you by a friend or in an email from the company.
A typical link to a company's career page will look like the following: https://companyname.indigo.jobs (such as https://winendine.indigo.jobs/)
Links to specific job openings at companies build upon the link format shown above, typically including the title of the position in the URL, such as: https://winendine.indigo.jobs/jobs/head-chef-560
Another method is coming across the job posting online via the Times of Malta or Jobhound sites. This is possible thanks to Hiring's integration with Jobhound.
Should the job be sourced from Indigo Hiring, clicking the card on either of these sites will redirect you to the respective company and job page on the Indigo Hiring platform, which will look like the examples above.
Applying for a Job
If this is your first ever interaction with Indigo Hiring, you will need to create a user and sign in. Otherwise, you can log in by clicking the Log in to apply button at either the top or bottom of a job's page.
After creating a user and/or logging in, review the job details posted at the top of the job page. If the salary range and benefits meet your expectations, and you believe you meet the requirements, start the application process by clicking the Apply button.
An application form will open at the bottom of the page. Ensure you upload all necessary documents and answer each question. Top tip: The devil 😈 is in the details. For a winning 🏆 application, name your documents appropriately, and answer questions with the right amount of information, focusing on clarity and honesty.
Once you are certain of your answers and have uploaded all the required documents, click on Submit Application to complete this first step of the process. The hiring team will be alerted and receive your application, and eventually contact you with more details.
Below are some questions you will be asked and documents you will need to upload.
Upload a resume (CV) [Required]: a formal document that you will need to create to showcase your qualifications and experience relevant to the position.
To upload, click the box under Upload resume, find and click on your resume in the new window and click Open.
An image of your file type representing your file will appear, with a trash can icon you can click to delete it. Note: if you try to upload a new file, the old one will be replaced.
You can check the box underneath to use the resume you are uploading as a template for future applications.
Provide a cover letter [Optional]: this is your chance to present yourself to an employer and request that they consider your application, highlighting the unique qualities you offer by joining their team.
The Cover Letter field is a text box; type or paste your cover letter into this field.
Similar to the resume, you have the option to check the box below to save your cover letter as a template for future applications.
Pick your Current Location: this is where you reside for the majority of the year.
Begin typing the name of your city or town in the text box. After a few letters, a dropdown menu will appear, displaying all viable options. Choose the most appropriate one from this list.
This information is crucial for tax purposes and assessing your suitability as a candidate in light of the company's office and remote work policies. It is also vital for companies to determine if they need to arrange a relocation package for you.
Answer a number of screening questions: basic questions that verify your compatibility with the company's requirements for this post, like:
your willingness to undergo a background check;
how soon you are available to start;
ownership of a valid driver's license.
This stage of the application process will be similar for many jobs, with questions to verify your compatibility with the company's requirements. (For example, an application to a Truck Delivery job from a person without the required driving license will not help anyone, 😉 so you'll be asked about that here.)
Upon uploading all the necessary documents and answering the questions marked with a red asterisk, clicking 'Submit Application' will redirect you to the top of the page and display the message 'You successfully applied for the job'.
Well done! You are now one step closer to your next potential employment.
For a glimpse into what happens on the employer's side after you press the Submit Application button, the company's recruiting team members will get an email like the one below:
