Automatic reply for candidates saved to the talent pool

If candidates come into your talent pool who did not respond to a specific job offer but joined the talent pool instead (typically from job fairs, university events, meetups and so on), it is important to give them quick feedback and information.

That is exactly what the automatic reply for talent pool candidates is for. It lets you set up your own automatic message that every such candidate receives immediately after being added to the talent pool — without you having to send anything manually. You save time and at the same time make sure that no candidate is left without a reply and receives the relevant information, which is key for the next steps, practically straight away.

Setup

The function itself is switched off by default and has to be enabled.

Enabling the function

You enable the function in the company settings (link)

E-mail template

For the automatic reply to work, you also have to define an e-mail template for it.

Because, unlike positions, the talent pool has no additional parameters such as language by which a template could be selected, only one shared template can be used for all candidates.

Otherwise this action behaves the same as the automatic reply when responding to a position – the e-mail is sent immediately after the candidate is created and the send is recorded in the action history and communication on the candidate card.
