A quick tour of Workforce Ignite

What each item in the left-hand menu is for, and where to find notifications, dark mode and your account settings.

Workforce Ignite brings recruitment, staff records and compliance together in one place. What you see in the left-hand menu depends on your role — a Company Admin sees everything; other roles see only the menus they've been given.

The menu, top to bottom

Menu	What it's for
Reports	Charts on turnover, recruitment, compliance, demographics and workers comp.
Talent Pool	Everyone who has applied or been added as a candidate — not yet staff.
Talent Map	A map of where your candidates live, by postcode.
Recruitment	Your active hiring pipeline, from first stage to hired.
Staff	Everyone you've hired, active and offboarded.
Compliance	Checks such as police checks and first aid: what's expired, expiring, valid or missing.
Offboarding	Exits, reasons, tenure and exit-survey results.
Staff Survey	Build and send surveys to your staff.
Workers Comp	A simple log of workers compensation cases.
Recommended Actions	AI suggestions drawn from your turnover, surveys, compliance and goals.
Email Templates	Reusable emails with mail-merge fields.
Form Template	Your public careers (application) form.
Communication	Announcements to all staff or chosen groups.
Feature Requests	Ask the Workforce Ignite team for something new.
Settings	Organisation details, team logins, roles, compliance rules and more (Company Admin only).

How people flow through the system

1. Someone applies through your careers form, or you add them yourself. They land in Talent Pool → Pending review.
2. You approve them into the active pool, then click Start recruitment to move them into Recruitment.
3. When they reach the last stage of your pipeline, click Add to Staff. They now appear on the Staff page and their compliance is tracked.
4. When they leave, you offboard them. Their record stays, but compliance tracking stops.

Other things on screen

• Notification bell (top right): announcements, messages from the Workforce Ignite team, and alerts such as "a requested document was uploaded". Click one to open it.
• Dark mode / Light mode: bottom of the left-hand menu.
• Password & mobile and Switch org: under your name at the bottom of the menu.
• Collapse menu: the double-arrow at the top of the menu gives you more room.
• Log out: the last item in the menu.

Tip: Clicking any person's name almost anywhere opens their profile drawer on the right — that's where most day-to-day work happens.
