Expression of Interest (EOI) advertisements allow employers to gather applications and interest from candidates for general roles on their Enterprise Job Board.
For example, if your company is the hospitality industry you can post EOIs for general roles like; Front of House, Back of House, Marketing, Operations, within your company. Candidates who apply are then pooled and can later be connected with when a position opens up according to their department interest.
This makes EOIs a powerful tool for:
Building a candidate pipeline for high-demand departments
Understanding current job seeker interest in your sector and company
Here is everything you need to know about Expressions of Interests (EOI) on Workinitiatives in a quick 2 minute video:

4. Fill in Role Details
Click on "roles" on the top of your screen, and "add EOI role". Provide any internal description you'd like about the generic roles. Have a look at the example below.

5. Save your EOI and share your link
Once complete, your EOI will go live on your enterprise job board and is open to collecting candidate applications. You can also advertise the link to your EOI on the "visual editor" page. Click on "preview EOI" to see the live page, or share your EOI link.
You can always deactivate or edit your EOI by checking or unchecking the option on the visual editor page.
6. Collecting and reviewing candidates
Candidates that click on your EOI link will be able to fill out their personal information, select the EOI role, and upload their resume straight to you. Here is an example:
Congratulations! Feel free to share and advertise the expression of interest across your platform.
Managing Expression of Interest Applications
All applications will appear in your "applicants" menu in the "expression of interest" tab.
You can review profiles, filter by date of application, and review their resume.
When new employer opportunities come in, you’ll already have a pool of pre-interested candidates to contact.
TIPS:
Use clear, recognisable role titles.
When sharing the link externally, be transparent that this is an Expression of Interest (not a live vacancy).
