Enable Double Opt In

You enable double opt in so that external candidates can opt in to receive job alerts and recruiting marketing communications when they apply for a job, when they sign in into a talent community, or from their candidate self-service page.

You can configure the double opt to be global or specific to countries where your organization exists. When you configure it for specific countries, it covers the following use cases:
  • European Union resident applies to a job at European Union.
  • Non-European Union resident applies to a job in European Union.
  • European Union resident applies to a job in non-European Union countries.

You can use these notifications to ask candidates to confirm that they want to receive recruiting marketing or job alerts. These notifications are available as email message and SMS text. You can use these notifications as is, configure them, or create new ones:

  • Double Opt In Email Confirmation (for external candidates)

  • Double Opt In Email Confirmation (for internal candidates)

The following data is captured for auditing purposes:

  • Name of the person who accepted the double opt-in

  • Date and time when the double opt in was given

  • Location of the person (IP address)

  • Specific purpose for which the double opt in was given

  • Text of the double opt in message
