Job alert sign-up with departments and no live jobs

Recruitment Marketing

Public

Overview

When Recruitment Marketing pulls in live jobs from your ATS, information on their associated departments / categories comes too. When a candidate opts in to job alerts via the Apply Call-to-Action (CTA) as the first step of the application process, they will receive an email notification when a new job matching the department / category and location of the job to which they originally applied becomes available.

When a stand-alone job alert CTA is added to your homepage, the department / category and location fields will not be pre-filled and candidates will have to choose their own from the drop downs provided.

When a stand-alone job alert CTA is added to a job page, the Department and Location fields in a Job Alert CTA will appear pre-filled in correspondence with the details of the job on that page. The candidate can accept these suggestions and click Send to opt-in, or, they can broaden their job alerts scope and choose to receive notifications about new jobs in additional departments / categories and or locations by selecting them from the drop down lists provided.

In all cases, it is now possible to include departments / categories in the drop down regardless of whether they have live jobs or not. As the information for live jobs is pulled in automatically during the ATS sync, adding departments / categories that do not currently have any live jobs is a step that must be completed manually.
