Keep Candidates Engaged with Job Alerts
Not every candidate is ready to apply the first time they visit your careers site.
They may be interested in your organisation, a department, or future internal opportunities, but find nothing suitable at that moment.
Today, we’re introducing Job Alerts, a new feature that helps you stay connected with those candidates by allowing them to subscribe to relevant job updates and hear about future opportunities automatically.
This gives your team a simple way to build and nurture interest over time, while making it easier for candidates to stay informed about roles that matter to them.
What’s New in a Nutshell
- Simple candidate sign-up form: Allow candidates to register their interest using their first name, last name, email address, and optional phone number
- Flexible audience targeting: Configure Job Alerts by entity and job type, including external, internal, or both
- Automated recurring email updates: Send matching job opportunities to subscribed candidates on a set cadence, while still giving them the option to unsubscribe
What This Means For Your Team
Job Alerts helps your team capture candidate interest even when the right role is not yet available.
- Stay Connected with Interested Candidates: Give visitors a simple way to subscribe to future roles instead of losing them when no suitable jobs are available today.
- Support Different Hiring Audiences: Tailor alerts for internal employees, external candidates, or both, making them useful across employee portals, branch career pages, and department-specific pages.
- Reduce Manual Follow-up: Automate regular job notifications so your team can keep talent informed without needing to manage outreach manually.
A Deeper Dive: How Job Alerts Works
Job Alerts gives candidates a way to subscribe to future job updates through a simple form that can be embedded on your website using an iframe.
Candidate Sign-up
Candidates can enter their first name, last name, and email address, with the option to include a phone number as well. This gives them an easy way to express interest in future opportunities.
Configurable Job Alert Settings
Your team can create a Job Alert by defining its name, entity, interval, job type, email template, subject, and body.
Because the same email template will be reused for each send, with matching jobs dynamically included for that period, it is important to make sure the wording is suitable for repeated delivery.
Iframe-based Placement
Once created, the feature generates iframe code that can be copied and added to your website. This allows you to place Job Alerts where they make the most sense for your audience, such as at the bottom of your careers page, on a departmental page, or in an internal employee portal.
Automated Email Delivery
After activation, Job Alerts sends emails to subscribed candidates based on the selected cadence, such as every 7 days. Each email includes jobs that match the alert settings for that period.
Candidate Management
Users can review matching jobs and candidates, add new candidates, and remove candidates where needed, while subscribers can also unsubscribe themselves at any time.
