Now, you can customize the email a candidate receives when they apply for a role at your organization. Built by popular demand, this will allow you to customize the messaging candidates receive and add district specific requests, such as the next steps in your hiring process!!
This new feature can be found under the “Email Templates” section on the Settings page.
Creating the application confirmation email template is very similar to our current email template functionality. First, name your template. Second, select “Application Confirmation” from the drop-down menu that indicates the email type. Note that each organization will only have one application confirmation email. The organization will revert to the Nimble default email if they do not create an application confirmation email or if they delete their application confirmation email.
Add your subject line and the body of the message to the “Email Content” section. You can click on the variables on the right-hand side of the page to add them to the email. Adding variables allows the system to automatically populate the email with the appropriate information for each candidate, which makes each email more personalized for the recipient. (Don't forget to add a space before and after each variable pulled into the email.)
Below are some sample draft emails that you can take and tailor to your organization’s unique needs!
