Note: The Provide more info notification will send based on a manager's access to employee fields in the manager form. Learn more about configuring the manager form.

Configure new pending hire notifications

You can configure the new pending hire email to notify specific recipients within your organization.

Hover over the New pending hire row and click Edit to add or remove recipients.

Note: This feature is only available to organizations that have configured a recipient list prior to May 3rd, 2023.

We recommend all organizations configure custom pending hire permissions instead of using the recipient list here. Pending hire permissions allow you to give specific employees access to manage pending hires and receive notifications about new pending hires.
