Official Odoo 20 release note

In plain words

When a job is promoted to employees from the job form (Promote button), the job chatter now logs which employees received the promotion email. Employees can also open a Referral Link Tracker that counts clicks on each link they shared. A dedicated counter of the number of people contacted was not found in the supplied source code.

Recruitment > Job Positions > job > chatterAfter Promote, the job chatter logs the employees the promotion email was sent to. A promotion was sent for this demo.

Where to find it

  1. Recruitment > Job Positions > open a published job > Promote, pick employees and send.
  2. The job chatter lists the employees contacted.

For users

Recruiters can see in the job chatter who was contacted; employees see how many clicks their shared links got (Referrals > Reporting > Link Tracker).

For developers

hr.referral.campaign.wizard.action_send() posts a note on hr.job listing the employees; link.tracker.action_open_referral_link_tracker() filters trackers by utm_reference for non managers.

Upgrading from Odoo 19

None.

  • Only the chatter log and the link click counts were verified; an explicit contacted people count: Not verified from the supplied source code.
