Purpose of linking opportunities
The platform allows you to generate parent–child links between Opportunités from different categories. For example, it is possible to associate open positions with a job description. This link enables two things:
- Expose this information to employees, who in our example will be able to consult a job description and see all associated open positions.
- Generate a Cascade de compétences, so that the skills from the parent job description are applied to the skills of the child open positions.
Using the Cascade de compétences leads to a standardization of Matchings. It should only be used when the quality of the descriptions and/or of the Employee framework does not allow for sufficient quality in skill extraction.
Parent–child link rules
A child has zero or one parent opportunity attached.
A parent has zero, one, or several children opportunities attached.
If a child is archived or moved to draft after being associated with its parent: the link is removed, and the child will no longer be visible anywhere.
If a parent is archived or moved to draft after being associated with its child: the link is maintained, hidden on Opportunity pages for collaborators, but still visible on HR pages.
The skills waterfall works from an active or draft parent to an active or draft child.
Creating / editing the parent–child link
Via import
The link parent / children can be imported via import.
Via the platform
The link can be created from the edit modal of the parents opportunities framework on the platform.
Autocomplete allows selecting from all children of any type within the category, active or draft — archived Opportunities are not suggested in the autocomplete.
You can search by title or by Client ID: the autocomplete suggests titles plus the ID Client in parentheses (if provided).
Children are displayed as chips, with their title and their ID Client. Children are not distinguished by status (active / draft).

Parent / Children link restitution
On employees pages
To expose a child or parent opportunity, the platform first checks that the collaborator has the right to view the opportunity in question, taking into account Matching rules and the possibility to view Opportunités outside of those Matching rules.
If the Opportunities does not meet these conditions, it is hidden from the employee.
Children restitution
Children associated with the parent opportunity are exposed to collaborators through a new tab (visible on opportunities pages, career paths, and their own job description). Cards are displayed with Matching information when available and sorted by descending publication date. (1) (1).png)
Parent restitution
The parent is exposed via a clickable chip that opens the detail in a new tab.

On HR pages (Staff an opportunity and opportunities framework)
The platform first checks that the collaborator has the right to access child Opportunities in order to display them, based on the Opportunity visibility settings defined via the opportunities multiscope
Children restitution (1).png)
If parent–child link creation is enabled, a new column appears in the export of the children’s framework and indicates the parent when there is one. (1).png)
Parent restitution
If the link creation configuration is enabled, a new column appears in the export of the parents opportunities framework and indicates the children when there are any.
Skills waterfall
If the configuration to generate the Cascade de compétences is enabled AND the opportunity has a parent AND the parent opportunity has approved skills,
-> Then the parent’s skills are “duplicated” onto the child Opportunity.
These skills override any skills previously extracted or approved on the child.
If there are expected levels and/or skills defined as Compétence majeure on the parent, they are also applied to the child.
If the parent’s skills are edited, the child’s skills are updated. Cascaded skills cannot be modified on the child (to avoid overly complex update management rules).
Cascaded skills are displayed on the child’s framework via a new icon, both in the table and in the view modal.
