Applying for Jobs
How do I apply?

A window will pop up asking you to input your first name, last name, and email address. If you were referred, this will be denoted.
3. Start your application!
Fill in your full name and email address, and hit "Start Your Application". You"ll then be redirected into Westfield Careers"s careers site to fill out the remainder of your information.
Sharing Jobs
How do I refer my friend?
Referring your friends is easy with Social Sourcing!
In fact, there"s two ways to share:
1. Share at any time!
When logged in, you can copy the URL in your browser and paste it in a message to your friend.
Additionally, any time you click a "Copy Link" button, it will generate a unique URL that will give you referral credit when you share it.
2. Share a specific job.
When logged in, click "Recommend Job to Friend" on the job"s detail page. From there you can copy and paste your unique referral link into an email.
(the available social networks may be different than pictured)How can I track my referral?
Tracking your referrals:
1. After sharing your unique referral link, your friend/contact will enter the site as a referral from you.
2. Once your referral starts their application, you will receive an email notification making you aware of their activity.
3. Within this notification you will be presented with the option to share your insight regarding the candidate. This endorsement will go to Westfield Careers"s Talent Acquisition Team.
4. Should you wish to follow-up further on the applicant"s status, you will need to reach out to the appropriate Westfield Careers recruiter and/or hiring manager.
Can I upload my friend"s resume?
Uploading a Friend"s Resume:
You sure can! Each position on the Social Sourcing site has an "Upload Friend"s Resume" button. Clicking this will prompt a window to appear, requesting certain information about your friend. Fill that out, upload their resume, and submit.
Once you"ve done that, an application will be started on their behalf with you tagged as the referrer. They"ll receive an email allowing them to continue the process, while you"ll be able to endorse the candidate, providing more insight to recruiters.
