Send Status Notifications to Direct Apply Partners

You can send notifications to Direct Apply partners to inform them of the status of their job applications.

You can configure a candidate selection process to automatically send notifications to Direct Apply partners when their job applications are moved to a phase or state. You can select one of these delivered reference partner statuses:
  • New
  • Under Consideration
  • Screening
  • Interviewing
  • Offer Extended
  • Background Check
  • Hired
  • Rejected
  • Withdrawn
Note: The New status might not be of any use for job applications, since the status of newly created job applications is set to New. However, the New status can be used when partners create prospects. Validate with your partners if they’ll use that scenario.

Note these special use cases for specific partners.

  • Indeed is a partner in Profile Import. The Direct Apply activation is done separately. The Direct Apply partner provides a .zip file when they declare general availability of their Apply Sync solution.
  • LinkedIn is a partner in Profile Import. However, the Direct Apply configuration is done in the Profile Import area. LinkedIn needs to configure the notifications service to use this integration and they need to have up-to-date job application statuses.
  • For all other Direct Apply partners, you need to verify if they support job application notifications and upload the appropriate .zip file accordingly.
