How auto-approval will work for you:

1. Employer registers or posts an opportunity via targetconnect Link.
2. GTI moderation team completes the standard checks above.
3. If the role passes, it is flagged as ‘Verified’ and is automatically posted to your platform (with Smart Filters picking up any of the roles you don’t want to receive).
4. If a role passes GTI checks but may not meet all university standards, it is flagged and sent to your Pending queue.
5. To determine when an opportunity should be flagged, we surveyed universities on their vacancy handling policies and identified areas where requirements vary. If an opportunity meets GTI’s handling policy but falls into one of these “grey areas,” it is flagged instead of auto-approved.

Criteria for flagged roles

1. Competitive or undisclosed salary
2. Defence/weapons, gambling, or tobacco involvement
3. Requires upfront payments or exit fees
4. Duplicates of the same opportunity (location variants only)
