Progress Job Applications Without Sending Notifications to Candidates

You can configure candidate selection processes so that job applications are progressed through the candidate selection process without notifications being sent to the candidates.

You can configure an option in the candidate selection process to not send candidate notifications. Notifications used in the context of a job application (related to a specific job application) aren’t sent if all the following conditions are met:

The job application is on a requisition for which the candidate selection process is configured to not send notifications to candidates.
The notification is sent using a Recruiting Content Library category which is identified to send a notification according to the setting in the candidate selection process configuration.

Note: Notifications which aren’t in the context of a job application (not related to a specific job application but related to the candidate) are sent as usual.

This table presents Recruiting Content Library categories related to job application notifications sent to candidates.
