Recruitment email notifications
The recruiter of a vacancy will receive daily emails informing them of new applications. These emails are not individual per applicant so will be sent first thing and will tell the recruiter how many new applications they have for a particular vacancy. Please note, if there are no applications, no email is sent.
If there is no recruiter set for the vacancy, then the HR user will receive the emails daily.
