You asked and we listened! Many members have been asking how they can respond to their job board applicants. We have added a new feature where you can easily respond to job board applicants from within Marketplace!
Here’s instructions on how to do so:
Open up your applications by clicking the ‘A’ column on your job:
After you review the candidate(s), click on the three dots to the left of each applicant’s name to respond to them.
You have two options: ‘Compose email’ or ‘Not a fit’
- ‘Not a fit’ is a generic template that gets sent to the candidate from a no-reply email address. You can change the subject / body, or leave as is, and send. The candidate will not have your information, but will receive this email letting them know they aren’t in consideration for the job.
- ‘Compose email’ is a blank template where you can write your own message to the candidate. This does come from your email address, so they will be able to reply to you. Make sure to input a subject and a body for your email.
- Examples you could use:
- Hi, [candidate’s name]!, Thank you for applying. After thoroughly reviewing your application, we regret to inform you that you have not been considered for this position. However, I am keeping your application on file for future consideration.
- Hi, [candidate’s name]! Thank you for applying. After thoroughly reviewing your application, I would like to schedule a call with you to acquire additional details and discuss the position in greater detail!
- Examples you could use:
You will also see a new ‘Status’ column to reflect which of these emails (if any) you sent the applicants, so you can quickly scroll thru the list and see which candidates you have already communicated to (‘not a fit’ or ‘contacted’).
Now that we have this new feature that makes it easy to respond to your job board applicants, we ask that you utilize it! It is important to let candidates know they are or are not a fit -- this can go a long way in not only building your brand/reputation but NPAworldwide's as well.
As always, feedback is welcomed - please let us know how you like this new feature!
