Selection emails are their own button. They do not go out when you set a result.
Sending them
From the cycle page, Administrative Council. The cycle must be in Finalisation or Completed, so results cannot be emailed while evaluation is still happening.
You can also email a selection of candidates from the candidate list.
What the email contains
The selection message, plus two things you configured in setting up a cycle:
- the WhatsApp group URL, so a selected candidate lands somewhere immediately;
- your note, up to a thousand characters.
Write both before finalisation. It is not a moment for drafting copy.
It cannot double-send
Sending is idempotent. Pressing the button twice does not email anyone twice, because each send is recorded and checked against. If you are unsure whether a batch went out, pressing it again is safe.
Delivery failures
Recorded like every other email. A failure does not undo the selection. See email delivery for how failures surface and how to resend.
Before you press it
-
Check every candidate has a result. Nobody should be Pending.
-
Read the finalists list once more, as a list.
-
Check the WhatsApp link actually works, from a phone, signed out.
-
Check the note for last year's dates.
Careful
This is the least reversible thing in the recruitment console. A wrongly selected candidate can have their result changed, but they have already been told. Read the list before you send, not after.
