Invite Students to Apply to a Job Posting

On the Jobs page, select the job you would like students to apply for, then click the Matches tab. Discover Job Matches.

The Matches tab displays "Top matches" at the top, which are students who are likely to respond to your outreach.

To invite all Top matches to apply, click the black button Invite to apply in the upper-right corner of the page. 

To invite a specific student from the Top matches section, click the white button Message within their profile card. 

Below the "Top matches" section, you'll find the "More matches" section, where all candidates who meet the job preferences you've set are listed.

To invite all candidates displayed in the More matches section, check the box to the left of Name, then click the blue button Invite to apply, located above the table.

To invite a specific student(s), check the box to the left of the student's name(s), then click Invite to apply.

When you click the "Invite to Apply" button, a message preview modal opens. It contains a pre-composed message that informs the student(s) why they are a good match for the role.

The pre-composed message reads:

"Hi {first name}

We looked at your profile and think you'd be a great fit for {role} because you match these qualifications: 

Area of study: {course}

Class year: {class year}

Graduation: {graduation year}

This position fits your interest in similar roles in {matching interests} near {matching location interest}. 

We're looking for students just like you - we hope you'll apply" 

If multiple students are selected, the message will be sent to each student separately, and the pre-composed message will be customised according to the student's specific details, e.g. name, qualifications, and matching interests.

If you'd like to send the message as configured, click the green button Send message in the lower-right corner of the modal. 

Errors

The message "We've filtered out all candidates according to your message filter preferences" appears if your bulk messaging preferences are set to automatically remove students from your message recipient list if:

• They have applied to a job at {COMPANY NAME} in the past 12 months.
• I (you) have sent them a message in the past 12 months. 
• Anyone at {COMPANY NAME} has sent them a message in the past 12 months. 

To update your bulk messaging preferences, refer to Employer Account User Settings. 

Edit message

To edit the pre-written template, click the hyperlinked text Edit message at the bottom of the modal. 

A message compose modal will open. You may include other attachments, such as your availability calendar, and introduce a teammate. 

Compose your message, then click the blue button Preview message to preview your message.
