Messages sent through OnShift Employ are emailed to the candidate as well as saved as a copy in their messages, found on their dashboard. OnShift Employ’s extensive message tracking works like your regular email server. Candidate Messages now allows a candidate to reply to messages sent through the system, keeping organized, written records of all your correspondence. Both system messages sent to you and to the candidate regarding this application are tracked here, as well.

*If the pre-written message is not relevant, or you need to send a specific one-time message, simply choose a template. Once the body has loaded, delete the text and either write your own in the body box or paste the message from a Word document. Don’t forget to update the Subject Line as well!

What is a variable?
In OnShift Employ, variables are found {{between_these_brackets}} within the messaging system and post-offer forms. Rather than entering personalized data directly into a message, predefined variables pull specific data from the candidate's profile, application, and other areas of the system, automatically entering the data into the message. With confidence you can be assured that each message and form sent is streamlined and consistent to each candidate.
