Email Settings- Recruiting

BerniePortal's Recruiting feature has the ability to automatically send email communications to both candidates and employers throughout the application process. 

Applicant Welcome Email Customization:

Every candidate who applies to a position through BerniePortal's recruiting feature will receive an automated welcome email confirming their successful application submission. While candidates receive a standard template by default, you can customize this message to reflect your organization's brand and tone.

  1. Navigate to the Recruiting tab in the top navigation menu

  2. Select the Settings tab from the secondary navigation

  3. Choose Email from the left navigation menu

  4. Review the existing template displayed in the messaging area. Make your desired changes and click Save

All future welcome emails will automatically use your updated template.


Employer Email Notifications: 

Employers can control how and when they receive notifications about new applicants!

  1. Immediate Notifications

    1. Select "Email when a new applicant applies to a position"

    2. Interested parties receive an email each time a candidate applies

  2. Daily Summary

    1. Select "Email once a day if there are new applicants"

    2. Interested parties receive a consolidated daily update on new applications

  3. No Notifications

    1. Leave both options unselected if email updates aren't needed


Setting Up Interested Parties:

Designate who should receive these notifications by entering their name and email address in the designated fields. This ensures the right stakeholders stay informed about new applications without overwhelming your entire team.
