Email Settings

Access level required: HR Admin / HR Editor

The Email Settings are very important as they determine which user(s) on your HR team receives the main email notifications when new job application forms are received in the system, as well as manage both the Application Notice and Application Review Notice messages.

Important: To help prevent email deliverability issues, please only use an email address from your actual domain for the ‘Reply To‘ and ‘From Email‘ settings. Otherwise the notification email could be considered spam, causing the intended recipients to NOT receive it.

An application notification message is sent to its specific HR Team recipients whenever a new job application form is received in the system.
