Inviting for jobs

Once you've created a job (ideally duplicated), it should be straight forward to invite people to apply for a job.

note

Before you send out an invitation ensure that the job and application workflow is all correct and that there are enough vacancies

General process

• use the Help Tour Guide to learn about the major functions
• know the people you want to receive an invite to a job
• only people with an email can receive an invite digitally (ie by email)
• can search for existing people who have been previously invited on other jobs
• add a personal message to the email (include reusing existing messages from other people)
• only after an invite has been generated (or provisional user created), can personal overrides be added to the application for individual employment conditions
• the outgoing email can be previewed
• you can send more than one email at a time
• you can import multiple email records through the clipboard (as well as download templates for each) from
  • Email application contacts list
  • Google Sheets
  • CSV
  • Numbers
  • Excel
• PICMI provides downloadable templates to be used in the spreadsheet applications

note

People without an email can be added as a provisional user—they are then invited or contacted by other means
