Postings Email Tab
Use the Postings Email tab to define the email templates that will be used for the email notifications sent to approvers, hiring managers, and requesters when a job posting needs approval, is approved, needs correction, or is denied. The page allows you to choose the email template which will be sent for each type of notification. These templates are defined on the Email Template Setup page of the Recruitment System Configuration. The Needs Approval and Reminder fields include a checkbox to indicate whether a URL link should be included in the notification.
The Reminder email uses the Remind Every field, which allows you to enter in hours/days, how often you want approvers to be notified that they have outstanding approvals.
In general, Recruitment Postings workflow consists of two workflow types. One type is a notification that requires an action to be performed. The other is a notification the action has been taken. Since the postings option allows for different types of actions to be taken, workflow allows notifications to be set up for each type of action.
