Email job information to an address that the applicant supplies. |
Applicants can use Candidate Gateway to email job information to themselves or to another person. The email is sent from the system and not from the applicant's personal email address.
The applicant can modify the email subject at runtime. The body text is read-only, but it dynamically embeds a name that the applicant enters elsewhere on the Email Job page. The applicant-entered name enables the recipient to see who requested that the email be sent.
The message text comes from the PeopleTools generic template HRS_CE_EML_FRND
This template uses text catalog entry HRAM_FLEMLFND_SUB1 as the email subject and text catalog entry HRAM_FLEMLFND_BOD1 as the email message body.The body of the message includes separate links that external and internal applicants use to access the Candidate Gateway site and review the job posting. The links are valid only as long as the job is posted. For example, if a job is posted internally but not externally, then the link for external applicants will not work.
Applicants use the Email Job page (HRS_JOB_EML_FRDSCF) to email job information to an address that the applicant supplies.
