Understanding your Candidate Space 🕵️

You've just subscribed to Welcome to the Jungle and would like to know more about the different parts of your Candidate Space? Let's take a tour together 🏠.

🐾 First steps in your Candidate Space

The dashboard

When you log on to your dashboard, you'll see at a glance a summary of the various information in your Candidate Space:

• Your current number of applications
• Your saved jobs and articles
• Your latest saved searches
• Your job suggestions
• The link to your profile

You can also quickly browse our media specializing in HR and work-related topics, as well as the profiles of the companies and our job board!

 

The Profile tab

Now let's get down to business! One of the first essential steps after creating your account is to complete your profile.

The "Profile" tab is divided into four sections:

• Your details: your first name, last name, e-mail address... These details will be pre-filled when you apply for a job on our site.
• Target job: detail the tasks you're looking for in your future job, as well as the type of contract, location, whether you'll be remotely working or not...
• Work experience: here you can talk about your previous professional experience, the roles you've held and the tasks and missions you've accomplished over the course of your career.
• Skills & expertise: here you can detail your various technical skills, as well as your know-how.
• Education and qualifications: enter information about your various degrees and the places where you have completed your education and certification.
• Other assets: enter your CV and links to your social network profiles, your website... This information will also be pre-filled on the application form, saving you time!

💡 To speed up the completion of your profile, you can directly upload your CV so that the information is automatically added from there!

The information can then be manually modified if any adjustments or clarifications are required.

Visibility of your Welcome to the Jungle profile

When you create an account on Welcome to the Jungle, your profile and information are invisible by default 🫥 ! The only information (including CV and cover letter) that will be shared is what you provide on the application forms, and these will only be shared with the companies you've applied to.

To allow recruiters to view your profile from our CV library and contact you directly, switch My status box into "actively job hunting": 

You can change this authorization at any time! Simply switch to "not available", your profile will be invisible again.

 

⚡️ Features dedicated to your job search

The "Applications" tab

Organizing and tracking your applications is key to a successful search! That's why the "Applications" page is such a valuable ally:

 

On this page, you can find :

• The "Job Comparator"  is specially designed to optimize your job search! At a glance, this table lets you analyze up to 3 saved jobs and apply to the one that suits you best. Curious? We've explained how it works right here!
• The "Application tracking" works like a kanban board, where you'll find the status of your jobs, your saved jobs and be able to group your applications and track them independently. To find out more about how this board works, please read the article right here!

⚠️ Some of the companies featured on Welcome to the Jungle redirect their candidates to their own dedicated recruitment site; when you see a redirect icon next to the "apply" button, this means that the company is using an external recruitment platform:

In such cases, you won't be able to track these applications from the applications' dashboard, but you will be able to add them manually to your tracking table!

 

The "Alerts" and "Saved items" tabs

Still haven't found the job of your dreams? Don't worry, you can set up job alerts on our Find a job page!

Once you've saved your job alerts, you can find them directly in the "Alerts" page; it's here that you can deactivate or delete those you no longer need!

At the same time, the "Saved Articles" tab lets you retrieve articles and content you've saved from our Media page.

 

Now you know every corner of your Candidate Space 👀 ! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and that you find the job of your dreams on our platform.
