In the eRecruiter system, there are Predefined Templates, Custom Templates, and SMS Templates.

  • Predefined Templates are default email templates assigned, for example, to system stages or to the default application acknowledgment.

  • Custom Templates are email templates that you and your team can create for your company’s specific needs.

  • SMS Templates are templates for SMS messages that you can send to candidates in connection with a scheduled meeting.

Note: Predefined message templates and SMS templates can only be edited by the system Administrator in your company. Custom templates can be added and edited by all system users.

If you are an Administrator, you can edit all default email templates in the Templates tab. This is an important part of the settings, as only you have permission to modify these messages.

Go to Settings (click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen).
In the settings, select the Message Templates section to access the list of available templates.

Go to the Templates tab. From the dropdown list, select the template you want to edit, make the desired changes, and then click Save.

For SMS messages, you have five available templates for:
