Overview
With the notification type Candidate Sourcing, users get notified when candidates are added to their Jobs or Folders through several submission channels, including auto-search, automated sourcing, and referrals - submitted by an external agency or added manually by other users. A summary notification is generated every two hours with the details about candidate submissions that happened within the previous two-hour period. The user can choose to receive these notifications by email or include them in a daily notifications email digest.

Candidate Sourcing Notifications
All CRM users have the Candidate Sourcing notifications turned on by default. The notifications are created every two hours and include a summary of candidate submissions within the previous two-hour window. If no candidate submissions occur, then a notification will not be created. The notifications are created in the UTC starting at 12:20 AM. So, the exact time a notification is received depends on the user’s time zone. Click here to convert 12:20 AM UTC to your time zone.
When the notification is created, a black popup will briefly display at the bottom of the screen. This popup includes the total number of candidates submitted for all Folders and Jobs for that user within the last two hours.
At the same time, the corresponding notification is created under the notification (bell) icon at the top of the screen. Click the notification icon.
The notification panel will expand, showing all notifications for the logged-in user. You can click the Type dropdown to filter by the notification type.
The notifications will be filtered. Click any notification to view details.
Details will be broken down by Job and/or Folder, name, total number of candidates added, how they were added, and a link to the corresponding Job/Folder.
