Candidate experience

Applying to a gig

Once a recruiter has invited a candidate to apply for a gig through email, SMS, or Whatsapp, the candidate can open the gig page and select Add to Job Cart at the top of the page to come back to the gig later. Or to apply for the gig, the candidate can select Apply Now. This will take them to an upload resume screen where they can upload a file or build their resume manually. After uploading a resume, candidates are required to confirm their contact information and complete several required fields that are specific to gigs:

• Desired Hourly Pay Rate,
• Number of Hours per week you can work on this Gig,
• Earliest Availability, and
• Additional Information.

This information will appear with the candidate’s name in the Applicants tab of the gig. Now when the candidate logs in to PCS, they can modify these fields, in general, so recruiters can see that information in a search.

Once a candidate has completed the form and submitted their application, they’ll see a confirmation screen where they can track their application status, rate their experience, and add comments.

Onboarding with Greenlight

Once a candidate has accepted an offer, they’ll receive an onboarding email from Greenlight. From the email, they’ll be directed to an onboarding home page for the gig and then to various pages where they can complete onboarding tasks, such as signing an employee agreement, noting the gig details, confirming the gig pay, and completing a W-4 for the gig.

Completing time cards in Greenlight

Once a candidate has started the gig, they’ll record their time in Greenlight as well.

A candidate selects +Add to add hours for each day, and then when each day’s hours are added, the candidate selects Submit weekly timesheet.

Keeping gig preferences up to date

During the gig, or at any point, candidates can also keep their gig preferences up to date through PCS.
