Manage Your Job Post Notifications

Overview

When you're assigned to a job post as a manager, you receive email notifications about its candidates, such as new candidates, assessment results and text message replies. If you manage several jobs, that can add up quickly.

With Job post notifications, you decide for yourself which of those emails you get from each job. Turning a notification off only stops the emails. You stay assigned to the job and keep the same access to it and its candidates.

Job post notifications let you:

• See every active job post you're assigned to on one page
• See at a glance which notifications you receive from each job
• Find a job quickly by its title or location
• Turn individual notifications on or off for each job
• Change your settings straight from a job post or from your dashboard

Every user can manage their own notifications, whether they're an Admin, Editor or Viewer. You can only change your own settings here. To choose who receives a notification for the whole team, an Admin or Editor edits the job post (see Assign Notifications & Job Managers).

Before You Start

• You only receive notifications from job posts you're assigned to as a manager. Having access to all job posts isn't enough. If a job is missing from your list, ask an Admin or Editor to add you to its Managers section.
• The notifications listed depend on the features on your plan. For example, you only see Text message received if your account uses text messaging.
• Job post notifications are managed inside a single company. If you're working in your company group view, open the company first.

How to Manage Your Job Post Notifications:

1. Open Job Post Notifications

• Click your name in the top-right corner and select My Profile.
• Click the Job post notifications tile.
• If your account uses the older profile page, find the Job post notifications section and click Manage notifications.

2. Find the Job Post

• You see one tile for each Published or Paused job post you're assigned to. Draft and archived jobs aren't listed.
• Each tile shows the job's status, title and location, plus an icon for each notification you currently receive from it. Hover over an icon to see the notification's name.
• A tile that reads No notifications means you don't receive any emails from that job.
• To find a job quickly, type part of its title or location in Search by job title or location. Typing "remote" finds jobs without a location.

3. Choose Your Notifications

• Click the job's tile. The Notification settings window opens with the job's title.
• Turn each notification on or off with its switch:
• • Assessment results
  • New candidate added
  • Application received
  • Resume received
  • Reference added
  • Reference completed
  • Reference rejected
  • One-way video interview completed
  • Text message received
• Click Save. You'll see Notification settings saved, and the icons on the tile update right away.
• Click Cancel to close the window without changing anything.

Note: If you switch on a notification that's turned off for the job, Discovered turns it on for that job and sends it only to you. The other managers don't start receiving it.

4. (Optional) Change Your Settings from a Job Post or the Dashboard

You don't have to go through your profile every time:

• From a job post: Open the job, click Options, then select Notification settings.
• From the dashboard: On a job in your job widgets, click the … menu and select Notification settings. This option isn't shown on archived jobs.

Both open the same Notification settings window for that job. Notification settings only appears on jobs you're assigned to as a manager.

Why This Matters

Your inbox should only hold the updates you act on. Separating notifications from job access means you can stay on a job to review candidates without receiving every email it sends.

• Cut inbox noise on jobs where you only need to check in now and then.
• Keep the alerts that matter, such as assessment results or candidate text replies, on the jobs you own.
• Stay in control of your own settings, whatever your role.

Use Cases

• Hiring manager: Keeps One-way video interview completed on and turns off New candidate added so they only hear about candidates ready for review.
• Recruiter on many jobs: Searches for a location and turns off notifications for jobs a teammate is handling.
• Viewer: Follows a job in read-only mode without receiving its emails.

Best Practices

• Review your notifications when you're added to a new job. You start with every notification the job has turned on.
• Use the icons on each tile to check your settings quickly instead of opening every job.
• If nobody on the team needs a notification for a job, ask an Admin or Editor to turn it off in the job post instead of everyone switching it off for themselves.

What Happens Next

• Your changes take effect as soon as you save. Future emails from that job follow your new settings.
• Other managers' notifications don't change.
• When you're added to another job, you automatically receive every notification that job has turned on until you change it.
• To learn how Admins and Editors choose notifications for everyone on a job, see Assign Notifications & Job Managers.

With job post notifications, you get the updates you need from every job, and nothing you don't.
