Set Preferences for Automatic Notifications

On the balanceTRAK tab / Notifications menu, check off the appropriate settings to individualize the receipt of system notifications:

A requisition is closing. (Sent at 7:00 am.)
Someone applies for a job. If this option is checked, choose one of the following:

On the day the job seeker applies at 10:00 pm.
Immediately after the job seeker applies.

Quick Tip: Consider how many job applications your organization receives. For a small organization (or a recruiter who must address every application), notification by Job Seeker event may be appropriate. For a large organization, a daily message at 10:00 pm, listing all new Job Seekers, may be preferable.

Someone completes a Background Check form.
Notify me during each step of the approval process when I am a participating user.

Navigate to the Manage Requisitions menu to set the default view of the Requisitions page. The default view is based on Requisitions Status, depending on your balanceTRAK Implementation. Some typical Status options include:
