Messages

The Messages settings allow you to customize the various notices and warnings displayed to applicants on the frontend of your site. These messages appear in key scenarios—such as when a job is closed, filled, or no longer available—and help provide clear communication to candidates throughout their application experience.

While Kraken Careers includes sensible default messages, you can tailor them to better match your brand voice or hiring practices.
