As a hiring and onboarding specialist, you know that great benefits are a huge differentiator for candidates considering a new role. GoCo’s Benefit Enrollment Preview Link is an essential tool for providing transparency and making your hiring process more competitive.
This feature allows you, the HR Administrator, to generate a unique, customizable link that job candidates can use to view potential benefit options and estimated costs before they are officially hired or start their full enrollment process.
This article will walk you through the simple steps to create a dynamic Benefit Enrollment Preview Link.
Note: Only Administrators with access to Manage Benefits will be able to generate these links.
