Thread: Recieve Applicants Email

Recieve Applicants Email

I did 2-3 tests applying to jobs on my theme, I didn't recieve the applicants email to say they have applied to a job.

It's crucial to have this, in order to update them about new job postings and keeping track of progress, something to boast about to future clients. Otherwise there's no way of knowing if anyone is actually applying for jobs.

I believe we may be seeing this in the next JobRoller release (1.1), due out at the end of this month.

I would prefer it if there was a way for wordpress to collect the applicants emails etc. and put it in a database

I agree. I'm sure we can use this information for email marketing as well, which will add to further revenue.

This subject is currently prefixed with "Feature Considered". What is being considered and will we be seeing it in v1.2?

Right now, when a user applies for a job, JobRoller sends the application to the job poster. JobRoller also sends a copy of the application to the person who applied for the job.

But we as the website owner/manager want to recieve applicants emails, for marketing purposes. For example sending out a weekly/monthly newsletter .. "this week we have 22,000 new job posting" etc.

Basically something to lure users back to your site and update them to their email inbox which is more convenient than for them to keep checking for new jobs.

WP Admin --> JobRoller --> Settings --> Email Notifications --> BCC on all Apply Emails: YES!

It works great! Job Poster receives the application. Applicant receives a copy. JobRoller admin receives a copy.

Awesome! Thanks for highlighting this.

I haven't had time to download the update so wasn't aware.. waiting for 1.2!

Many Thanks,
NS
