Email jobs to friends. |
When applicants find a job opening that might interest someone they know, they can use the system to email the job opening to that person. The email is sent from the system and not from the applicant's personal email address.
The applicant can modify the email subject at runtime. The body text is read-only, except that the Send Email page includes a field where the applicant enters a name that the system embeds in the body text. The applicant-entered name enables the recipient to see who requested that the email be sent.
The message text comes from the PeopleTools generic template HRS_CE_EML_FRND This template uses text catalog entry HRAM_CEEMLFND_SUB1 as the email subject and text catalog entry HRAM_CEEMLFND_BOD1 as the email message body.
The body of the message includes separate links that external and internal applicants use to access the Candidate Gateway site and review the job posting. The links are valid only as long as the job is posted. For example, if a job is posted internally but not externally, then the link for external applicants will not work.
Applicants use the Send Email page (HRS_JOB_EML_FRND) to email jobs to friends.
