Communicate with a Job Seeker and Track the Interactions

The Job Seeker detail > Communications tab supports your organization's efforts to reach out to a Job Seeker by email and text, while also supporting your efforts to document telephone calls.

Accordingly, the tab is divided into a left-hand column for tracking all Communications, plus a right-hand window, serving as a task area for composing and documenting these conversations.

  1. (Optional) Select a Template from the provided drop-down (or leave the selection as: None).
  2. Review the Job Seeker's email, as populated in the To field.
  3. (Optional) If applicable, CC and/or BCC other balanceTRAK users by typing a few letters of each name and selecting one from provided prompts. (To CC or BCC an external contact, enter the contact's email address.)
  4. Enter a Subject for the message.
  5. (Optional) To add a file to the message, click the [Attachment] icon, and browse for the file on your computer.
