Find out how to activate a unsolicited application and set up reminder emails to candidates here.
Show Interest
It is possible to activate unsolicited applications which are always available to apply without a closing date.
To find it, go to Menu > Settings > HR settings > Career page > Express interest
The difference between an unsolicited application and a job ad in Higher is as follows:
- No closing date - an unsolicited application does not have a closing date as a job advert does.
- Number of questions - in an unsolicited application you can ask up to 40 skill questions where each skill question may contain a follow-up question.
- Cannot map internal applications - you do not have the opportunity to map internal applications in the same way as in a regular job ad where candidate cards are marked with an orange frame in the recruitment board. Instead, you can use tags.
- Cannot use knock-out questions - in an unsolicited application, it is not allowed to use knock-out questions.
- Possibility for candidates to withdraw or update their application - by setting a reminder time, candidates can have the chance to withdraw their application, update or keep their original information.

- Update their information in the application
- Withdraw their application
- Keep their original information in the application
All data on candidates is stored for a maximum of two years or a shorter period as agreed. Once the agreed deadline has passed, the candidate information is automatically deleted.
Please note that all candidates receive reminder emails except candidates placed in the “Hired” column of the Recruitment Board.
