 The kununu feedback appears for the wrong company. What can we do? 

The company of the job opening is compared with existing kununu profiles by name of the company and the location of the company in the master data and gets matched by kununu. If there are any errors, please check which information you have entered in your d.vinci for the location of the company. If the entry is correct, please contact the support of kununu and point out that the matching of the companies is not correct.


 When are the feedbacks submitted to kununu?   

Kununu receives the data from the 27th of the previous month to the 26th of the current month. Depending on which day of the week the 27th of the current month falls on, the data is transferred to kununu. However, kununu may need time to import the data before the feedbacks are visible in your kununu company profile.

This means, for example:
An applicant has submitted the feedback on 27.09.2021. It will be visible on kununu at 29.10.2021 (a Monday).
A prerequisite for the transfer of the feedbacks to kununu is that the interface in the tab Partner Integrations at the Basic Settings is activated. More information: Get started with Feedback mit kununu 


 Why aren't the feedbacks visible on kununu?  

The feedbacks will be given after the 27th for the past month. The date of the data transmission may not been reached. If it is past the transmission date, your interface may have been turned off in the Partner Integrations tab. The feedbacks cannot be transmitted for the past month. Therefore, please make sure that you have activated the transmission via the interface.
More on this in the question "When are the feedbacks transferred to kununu ü".


 Why can't an applicant provide feedback? 

In most cases, the applicant has already clicked on the link in the e-mail and submitted feedback. If he has already used the link to the kununu feedback questionnaire and sent his feedback, then he cannot give another feedback.
If this is not the case, it may be that the feedback is for an application that has already been deleted in your system. Either because the automatic deletion that removes the application from the system after X days or because the application was manually deleted.
Tip: Ask the applicant for timely feedback in the introduction text of the kununu feedback questionnaire or in the text of the correspondence.


 How can we comment feedbacks? 

In order to write a comment on a feedback, this feedback must first be transferred to kununu. If the feedback is visible in your company profile, you can respond to it as the owner of the company profile. A comment in your d.vinci is not possible.


 Can an applicant change its submittet feedback? 

A subsequent change is not possible. kununu explicitly excludes this.

It is also not possible to delete the feedback. kununu usually only deletes feedback because it violates the rules, for example because it is discriminatory, offensive, political, damaging to reputation, racist or vulgar.

Theoretically, if the feedback has not yet been transmitted, you could delete the applicant and create it again. However, this is absolutely not advisable, as you will lose the applicant history.


 We have received feedback that should not get public. What can we do? 

Individual feedbacks cannot be excluded from the transfer to kununu. Either all feedbacks of a transfer period (from the 27th of the previous month to the 26th of the current month) are transferred or no feedback is transferred to kununu if the interface was switched to inactive  in the Basic Settings tab Partner Integration at the time of transfer.
