Configure Candidate Notifications

You can create and manage a library of notifications that can be sent in bulk in any candidate context.

Available candidate notifications are:
  • Candidate Job Application Notification
  • Candidate Pool Member Notification
  • Candidate Profile Notification
  • Prospect Candidate Notification
  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
    • Task: Recruiting Content Library
  2. On the Recruiting Content Library page, click Create.
  3. In the Content Item Details section, enter the following information:
    • Name
    • Code
    • Category: Select one of these categories: Candidate Job Application Notification, Candidate Pool Member Notification, Candidate Profile Notification, Prospect Candidate Notification.
    • Visibility: A content item can be used for internal postings, external postings, or both.
  4. In the Context Information section, if you selected the Candidate Job Application Notification or Prospect Candidate Notification, you can contextualize the message with job requisition attributes including recruiting type, organization, location, job family, and job function. This ensures users are using the correct templates for the requisition.
  5. Complete the other fields. For details, see Create a Content Item.

Results:

When these notifications are created, recruiters and hiring managers use the Send Email action to send these notifications. They can create an email from scratch or select a notification template. The list of notification templates available for selection depends on the context the Send Email action is initiated from. For example, if they use the Send Email action from the job application list, only candidate job application notifications are available. In the requisition context, the list of templates available for selection might be further refined depending on the contextualization defined on the template. If users have the privilege Update Email Created from Template (IRC_UPDATE_EMAIL_CREATED_FROM_TEMPLATE), they can edit the template. Once the email is sent, an interaction note of type email is automatically added in the Interactions tab where the action was launched (candidate profile, candidate job application, prospect, candidate pool).
