Job Alerts allow candidates to subscribe to specific areas of interest, so they may be notified when a job is published which matches one of their selected area(s) of interest.
What’s available for the candidate?
The candidate is able to register or update their job alerts profile on the careers site. Once registered the candidate will be able to specify the area of interested; the usual classification would include a location, department or job type as well as the notification frequency.
