Resolution

  • The Employee Referral icon and 'Refer Job to a Friend' will display when the Job is Posted both Internally & Externally.
  • If the Job is posted just Internally, the icon and 'Refer Job to a Friend' will not display.
  • If the Job is posted Internally, and was posted externally but the posting expired, then the icon and  'Refer Job to a Friend' will display; however, the user will get an error when trying to refer a candidate:

"This job requisition does not have an active external posting."

  • The Employee Referral icon and 'Refer Job to a Friend' button will also display even if there is no value in the erpAmount field on the job requisition, as long as the job is posted both Internally and Externally.
