Last Call stage feature

Feature Request

Problem

At the moment, candidates that have not finalized their submissions get a Reminder (if set) every X hours.

As a Job comes to a close it is a good practice to give "a last push" to those applications still in "In-progress) as they may have not finalized it for a number of reasons.

There is currently no wat to send a specific Last Call notification (which will be more effective if the text is different.

Custom Stages are not an effective solution because the field @[Assessment link] is not available.

We currently implement a Last Call through a Custom Stage yet we cannot provide a link to smoothen the CTA for the candidate.

Request

Implement a Last Call platform-stage.

Similar to the "Remind Applicants after X hrs automatically", a new platform-stage called

"Send Last Call to Applicants Y hrs before the closing of the job" would allow for this.

Note: It may be dependent on the Job having a properly set "Automatically stop accepting new applications on" setting.

The candidate flow would then become:

  • Candidates submit

  • If they finish, they go to To Be Reviewed stage.

  • If they haven't finished, they go to In-Progress.

  • If the Reminder is set, they get a Reminder every X hours

  • If the Last Call is set, they get a Last Reminder Y hours before the job is closed

  • Any other Custom Stage

    This would be amazing for the In Process and Invited Status. The one reminder is not enough and I always end up having late submissions.

    We have now observed a problem with using a Custom Stage for this (as we are doing currently):

    It would appear that once a submission is moved to a Custom Stage, Hirevire considers it "closed" and the link to finish it does not work anymore (it forwards to the Thank You page).

    That is a problem because our Last Call notification is misleading since the user can't finish their existing submission and instead they have to start again… which also means we have a duplicated submission.

    It becomes very apparent that a specific Last Call notification should be sent by Hirevire as part of the platform's internal stages with the notification message being customized too.
