How to Follow Firms and Save Jobs/Events - University Admin

Written by Kaylee Welling

University Admins can follow firms and save jobs and events, making it easier to keep track of employers and opportunities that may be relevant to your students. These tools can also help you familiarize yourself with the experience students have when exploring firms and opportunities on Flo Forward.

Follow a Firm

Following allows you to keep a list of firms you're interested in.

To follow a firm:

  1. Navigate to the Employers tab.

  2. Locate the firm you would like to follow.

  3. Select Follow on the firm card. You can also select Follow from the firm's profile.

  4. Once followed, the firm's profile will display Following.

To quickly find firms you've already followed, use the All Firms / Followed Firms filter in the Employers directory and select Followed Firms.

Note: University Admins do not receive email notifications when firms they follow post new opportunities. For schools, following acts as an in-platform way to bookmark firms you're interested in. Students will receive an email!

Save Jobs and Events

You can also save individual jobs and events that you'd like to revisit later.

To save an opportunity, locate the job or event and select the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of its card. From there, select Save job or Save event. There is no limit to the number of jobs or events you can save.

Note: Firms are followed rather than saved. The Save option is available only for individual jobs and events.

View Saved Jobs and Events

Unlike students, there is no My Saved Items page for universities. Everything happens through a quick filter row on each board.

View Firm Profiles as a University Admin

When viewing a firm's profile, University Admins may see more information than an individual student sees. The university view can include all profile sections the firm has purchased, while students see the profile that's applicable to their eligibility.

This allows you to get a broader view of a firm's presence on Flo Forward while advising students.

How Following Works for Students

University Admins can also use these tools to help students understand their Flo Forward experience. Students can follow firms and save jobs and events, but their experience differs slightly from the University Admin experience.

When a student follows a firm, Flo Forward can notify them when that firm publishes a new job or event they're eligible to see. These notifications are grouped by firm and sent within the hour rather than immediately after each individual posting.

Students must be signed in and have a graduation year on their profile before they can follow a firm.

Students also have a dedicated My Saved Items area on their dashboard where they can view firms they're following, saved jobs, and saved events.

Tip: Because University Admins can follow firms and save opportunities as well, you can use these features to familiarize yourself with the workflow when helping students navigate Flo Forward.
