Job mail

Public

Overview

Job Mail is useful for notifying applicants that there are new jobs available that match their search criteria. There are two ways to display the subscribe to job mail functionality on a careers site. The job  mail page need to sit within either your company's existing website (or intranet).

To prevent the sign-up of non-verified email addresses, reCAPTCHA was implemented to the job mail/alert subscriber workflow.

Note: Not to be confused with Recruitment Marketing job alerts.

Features

Double Opt-In / Confirmed Opt-In to job mail subscribers

A Double Opt-in capability exists with job mail alerts to ensure appropriate levels of permission passing to applicants.

When an applicant creates a job mail subscription, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address provided. The applicant will be required to confirm their subscription within the 72 hours of receipt in order for their subscription request to be valid. Any non-confirmed subscription requests will be removed.

This was introduced in May 2018 because we are focused on meeting applicant privacy obligations and being inline with industry best practice.

Note: If an internal job mail subscriber receives the notification to re-confirm their subscription, and they are redirected to the external site, this may be due to the internal site being locked to the internal network only. Check if you are on the internal network and try again.

Note: Job Mail Alerts will not expire automatically. To unsubscribe, a recipient may click the 'Unsubscribe' link included in any of their received emails.

List of subscribers

While a list of subscribers is not available within the system, one can be extracted.  If required, please contact PageUp who can email a list.

Troubleshooting

I've subscribed to the internal job alert but when I receive the notification to confirm my subscription, I'm unable to confirm as I am redirected to the external site.
This may be due to the internal site being locked to the internal network only. Check if you are on the internal network and try again.

Sorry, we are unable to confirm your email. This may be because your confirmation link has expired or an error has occurred. Please check and try subscribing again.
A subscriber may experience this issue after clicking an expired confirmation link, which last for 3 days. In this case, advise them to subscribe again, then click the link in the new email.

I've received a notification for internal vacancies, I'm unable to view the job or am redirected to the external site and the job vacancy cannot be found. 
This may be due to the internal site being locked to the internal network only. Check if you are on the internal network and try again.
