Key Funtionality

1. Scheduling Function (Scheduler)

An automated scheduling function is enabled in the system to remind HR users that applicants have accepted or terminated their job offer today. It runs periodically at fixed times, and helps HR users make the progress of job applications easy.

Note

• The scheduler checks the status of applications from 9 AM to 5 PM every hour on weekdays, and it can send out a notification email to HR users.
