In order to make sure that your students are always aware of the latest developments in the job market, JobTeaser has developed the Job Alert. This consists of a simple email that the student will receive (up to once a day if relevant jobs are available) comprised of vacancies related to the user’s criteria and other possibly relevant job ads.
The Job Alert is not a mandatory feature. It can be enabled in two moments:
1) During the onboarding (when the student first creates their account);
2)Or when the student modifies their Saved Search;
In this case the student will need to click on the three dots on their Saved Search and then select “Edit":
A small window will appear containing the option to enable/disable the Job Alert:
Job Alert structure
The Job Alert email adheres to a structured format that is continuously updated based on received feedback. Currently, the email includes up to 10 job ads, with no more than 2 vacancies from the same company. Typically, these job ads are organised by the latest publication date, ensuring that students see the most recent vacancies available.
To surmise:
- 10 jobs max per email (if there are no available jobs, then the alert is not sent);
- There can be a max of 2 jobs from the same company in the same email;
- The vacancies are ordered by published date;
Job Alert rules
To make students effectively engage with the job ads provided in the Job Alert, it is important that the vacancies displayed are relevant to their current needs. For this reason, the Job Alert functioning is based on a complex set of rules that will assure the presence of pertinent and appealing job ads based on their Saved Search.
When the student is looking for jobs, they can add several filters. The moment they launch the search, the system will let them know that they can save the search with the filters selected. If they save this search, then these filters will be used to determine which job ads will appear in their Job Alert.
The Job Alert only contains new job ads. The student will never receive the same vacancy in two different Job Alerts.
For a vacancy to fit a student’s Saved Search criteria, it must meet any of the filters that the student has selected in the Jobs Search Module. If a filter is not selected by the student, it will be ignored and will not affect the matching process. Thus, the vacancy will be considered a match if it meets the criteria of the filters the student has chosen to use. These are the possible filters:
- Contract type;
- Level of experience;
- Duration of contract;
- Language;
- Keywords (the system will look for a match in the vacancy’s title or description);
- Job Category;
- Location;
- Study Level;
- Start date of vacancy;
- Career Center tags;
- Targeted job ads filter;
- Partner job ads filter;
- Faculty job ads filter;
- Alumni job ads filter;
- Industry sector;
- Application type;
- Remote work filter;
- Company category;
For example, if a student only selects the filter “Targeted job ads", then all job ads (e.g. of any contract type) that are targeted will be considered a match and be present in their Job Alert.
