1. What is the Followers count?

The number of people who have chosen to follow your organization.

Following is something a person does from your organization page. It is not the same as being in your database, and it does not approve them for anything. A follower may never have applied to you, and somebody you work with every week may not be a follower.

2. Do followers hear about every opportunity I publish?

No, and this is the part worth knowing.

Notifying followers is a choice you make on each opportunity, using the Notify followers setting. When it is enabled, existing followers receive a notification about that opportunity. When it is not, publishing is silent as far as followers are concerned.

Notifying followers is only available when you first publish an opportunity. You cannot go back and send it later by editing the opportunity, so decide before you publish.

3. What about semi-private opportunities?

Only followers who meet the semi-private conditions you set are notified. The rest will not see or hear about the opportunity at all, which is the point of semi-private visibility.

4. Is Follower recorded on a profile?

Yes. Follower is one of the standard fields on a profile, so you can use it in your database views and reports alongside anything else you track.
