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.
