OVERVIEW
The Saved Search Alerts feature lets you receive notification emails when applications match specific search criteria, prompting you to take immediate action.
Examples of use:
- Get an email alert when a candidate applies that needs disability-related adjustments.
- Get an email alert when a candidate applies to a hard-to-fill position that receives a very low volume of applications.
- Get an email alert when a candidate applying is a referral.
Additional details:
- The system checks Saved Search Alerts every 15 minutes.
- An email alert is only sent when new applications meet the criteria for the Saved Search.
- The email alert includes a list of all applications that meet the Saved Search criteria.
- The notification email is sent to the person who set up the alert.
- Alerts cannot be added to Global Saved Searches.
- Important: Searches that use relative date filters (e.g. greater than or equal to “This morning" or "1st of this month") cannot be made alertable. If you try to enable alerts for these, you'll see a message: "This saved search is not alertable.”
