Job alerts allow candidates to sign up to receive email notifications when your company posts new jobs. Enabling alerts adds widgets to your job board and job post allowing candidates to sign up for your company’s job alerts.
Candidate job alerts overview
When you enable job alerts, a widget inviting candidates to “Create a job alert” will be added to your selected job board. The widget doesn’t use cookies and won’t impact the performance of your board.
When candidates select “Create a job alert” on your job board widget, they’ll be redirected to Greenhouse, then prompted to sign into or create a candidate account. Candidates can also create job alerts from your job post.
After a candidate creates a job alert for your company, they will choose which types of roles they’re interested in and how often they’d like to receive notifications. Then, Greenhouse will email the candidate when your company posts new jobs that meet their criteria.
Enable candidate job alerts
To enable job alerts, go to Configure, and select Job Boards and Posts.
Then, go to Edit board settings on the job board you’d like to add a widget to.From your job board, select Job alerts.
Click “Enable job alerts,” then Save changes.
Candidates will now have the option to receive alerts when your company posts new jobs.
