This function allows you to send out multiple online job offers through the ETA website to qualified staff that are waiting to receive your Job Offer Notification email. You can offer the one position to one or more candidates chosen from your favourites list. Selected staff are alerted via email of the casual vacancy. A Job Acceptance Response email will be sent back by the candidate. A Job Confirmation Response email will then be sent by you notifying the successful candidate that they have been awarded the position.

* How does the Job Notification system work?

A standard Job Offer Notification template message will be forwarded by you to the selected candidate/s via the ETA website. The candidate/s will reply by writing “Job Acceptance Response” and their full name in the “subject” area of the reply email, e.g.. Job Acceptance Response – John Smith-Maths / Science.
You will continue the email chain and reply to the successful candidate with “Job Confirmation Response” and the name of your school/childcare centre in the “subject” area, e.g.. Job Confirmation Response – Universal College. This confirms the booking with the successful applicant.

* Why must I continue the email chain when communicating and sending Job Offer Notifications?

The email chain is evidence that you have followed ETA’s process, therefore if any party does not uphold their obligation, a transcript exists to verify the sequence of events. This is essential if lodging a complaint with ETA’s administrative body.

* What happens after I receive a Job Acceptance Response email from the candidate?

You need to send a Job Confirmation Response email to the successful candidate by changing the “subject” area in the reply email to “Job Confirmation Response – name of your school / childcare centre”. This confirms the booking with the successful applicant.

* Can I send multiple job notifications?

Yes. You can offer the one position to one or more candidates by sending multiple notifications and rewarding the first response or preferred staffing option with the position.

* What is the main advantage of the favourites list?

By creating a favourites list you have prepared a priority selection of staff to be utilised when required, instead of conducting separate searches each time. Save yourself time by employing staff with proven experience and professionalism.

* When potential candidates reply to me, where are the emails sent? Do I need to check the ETA website?

Emails are sent to your nominated email address as listed on the registration form. You do not need to check the ETA website for any emails.
