Job Alert for New Job Opportunities

Candidates can receive job alerts about new job opportunities matching their job preferences.

When you enable job alerts, here's what happens for external and internal candidates.

Job Alerts for External Candidates

External candidates can decide to receive alerts about new job opportunities matching their preferred job category and location. Here's how it's done:

  • In their candidate self service page, candidates select the option "I agree to receive updates about new job opportunities" and they specify the job category they're interested in and their preferred location.

  • When applying for a job, candidates select the option "I agree to receive updates about new job opportunities". The job category and job location are selected for the candidates based on the job category and job location of the job.

  • When signing in into a talent community, candidates select the option "I agree to receive updates about new job opportunities". The job category and job location are selected for the candidates based on the talent community setup.

When newly posted jobs match one or more of their job preferences, candidates receive an email listing the new jobs with links to view details of each job on the career site. The email also contains a link to view all the jobs available on the company's career site.

Job Alerts for Internal Candidates

Internal candidates can decide to receive alerts about new job opportunities matching their preferred organizations, locations, jobs, and job families. This encourages internal mobility by keeping candidates informed as jobs are posted that align with their job interests.

In Opportunity Marketplace, in the Interests tab, the candidate indicate their preferred jobs, job families, worplace types, and they can select the option "I want to receive news about new opportunities". When requisitions are posted and they match the candidate's job preferences, the candidate receives an email listing the new jobs with links to view details of each job on the career site. The email also contains a link to view all the jobs available on the company's career site. The candidate is also automatically added to the Talent Community pools that match the job preferences.

Internal candidates can also subscribe to receive alerts for careers appearing in the Career Development's Careers of Interest (Me > Career and Performance > Career Development > Careers of Interest). When job requisitions are posted, internal candidates will receive a notification which contains links to job postings and to the job search list in Opportunity Markeplace.

You need to run the scheduled process called Process Recruiting Job Alerts to ensure alerts are sent.
