In this article:

Change notification settings across your entire account

You can change all of your applicant notification settings at once by navigating to Settings > My Organization > User Notifications. Use this page to disable all notifications for a specific role or across your whole account in a few seconds.

Change the default email notification settings for a user (including you!)

Navigate to your Team page.

Find the employee whose email address you want to change and click their name, or click the three dots icon on the right side of the page, and select View Profile from the menu.

If you don't see the employee you're looking for, you can use the search box in the top right corner to search by name.

Navigate to the user's Settings tab and click the Edit button in the top-right corner of the page.

Scroll down to the Notifications section of the Profile Settings page, and toggle the sliders on or off depending on which notifications you want the user to receive.

Some notification types may also let you specify the frequency of notifications, how users are notified (email vs. text), and what tasks or hiring steps to receive notifications about. These can be configured with the drop-down list or checkboxes below a notification type.

There are five notification sections:

• New Text Messages
  • Get an email when the user receives a new text message
• New Applicants
  • Daily Digest - get one email every morning with new applicants from the previous day
  • Each Applicant - get an email for each new applicant
• Applicant Tasks
  • Get an email any time an applicant completes a task
  • Completed assessments - get an email when any applicant completes assessments
  • Completed scorecards - get an email when someone completes a scorecard on the applicant
• New Fast Track Applicants
  • Email - get an email for every new Fast Track applicant
  • Text - get a text message for every new Fast Track applicant
• Hiring Stages
  • Get an email every time an applicant moves into a specific hiring step

To apply the changes you're making to existing jobs, click the Apply these settings to existing jobs checkbox. Otherwise, these changes will apply to new jobs only.

When you're done making changes, click the Save button at the bottom of the Edit Settings drawer.

Ensure a user gets notifications about people who apply to a specific job

This option can help if you have a user you want to get emails about applicants to a job to which they don't have access.

On your Jobs page, find the job for which you would like to change email notification settings.

Click the Edit button to edit the job.

Click the Hiring Settings section.

Scroll to the Team and Notifications section. Click the Configure Notifications button.

Click the down arrow icon to expand the notification options. Toggle on/off any notifications you want users to receive/not receive.

Click Apply and then Update Job Post to apply these settings

Ensure someone who doesn't have access to your CareerPlug account gets a daily email about new applicants

On your Jobs page, locate the job for which you would like to change email notification settings and click the Edit button to edit it.

Click the Hiring Settings section.

Scroll to the Team and Notifications section. Turn on the Email notifications to external users toggle.

Enter the email addresses of people without access to CareerPlug who should receive an applicant summary for this job. Click Update Job Post.
