Follow Up On Sendout Taking Too Long with Recruitment Automation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click Add Automation and select \u2018Submission-based.\u2019<\/li>\n
  2. Name your automation. Maybe something like \u2018Follow Up on Send Out Taking Too Long.\u2019 Click Save.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Automation Enrollment will automatically open. Click \u2018Create New List.\u2019<\/li>\n
  4. Under List Settings, select \u2018Always Updated\u2019 as the type of list and then name your list.<\/li>\n
  5. Enter your search criteria using the dropdown under \u2018Total number of submissions that match this search.\u2019 Your search criteria should be:\n
      \n
    1. ‘Submission Status’ is ‘Client Sendout’<\/li>\n
    2. Specify ‘After’ a given date. In this example, Billy uses June 1, 2020.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Click Save<\/strong> under List Settings, then click Save under Automation Enrollment.<\/li>\n
    4. Click the plus sign to add a new step to your automation. Select \u2018Add Wait’ to add a wait step. Here, Billy selects 3 days. This ensures the automation will take into account candidates who you just submitted.<\/li>\n
    5. Click the plus sign to add a new step to your automation. Click ‘Send Notification.’<\/li>\n
    6. Select ‘Immediate’ and ‘From Template’ to create your notification and have it sent immediately once the 3-day threshold is crossed. You can route this notification to the Submission Owner, Job owner, or anyone else who you’d like to notify.<\/li>\n
    7. Give your notification a subject line and choose who it is being sent to. Click Save.<\/strong>\n
        \n
      1. Here is where you customise the message of the notification, including merge tags that pull in Client contact information or other merge tokens that could include Candidate, Sales, Submission, or other essential data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Click the \u2190 button next to the newsletter name at the top of the page.<\/li>\n
      3. Under ‘Add New Step,’ you can create an automated text or email to update the Candidate that you are still waiting for feedback from the Client.\n
          \n
        1. Billy creates a few additional notifications in the video, but you can create as many as you’d like.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The great thing about creating Submission-based automations is that each submission that matches this will flow through, so even if a candidate falls into this scenario later on in their lifecycle, it will be for a unique submission so that submission will automatically flow through.<\/p>\n

          Recommendation: if you are sending an email or text message, utilise the Send Window feature under Automation Settings. This ensures that if you submit a candidate on a Friday, the notification won’t automatically send that following Monday since there hasn’t been enough time for the Client to review the Candidate properly.<\/p>\n
