New Hire
Text Alert
Added a Text Alert toggle to the Tentative Offer section on the Onboarding Information page, which is set based on the Customer default setting described above. Users can manually enable or disable this option for new hire records created from a Certificate at any time until the Tentative Offer notification is initially sent. All changes are captured in History.
Note: If the new hire is not associated with a Certificate or the Tentative Offer has already been sent, users will not have the option to change this setting (the toggle will be grayed out).
- Text alerts sent to new hires associated with a certificate with the Text Alert toggle enabled at the time the Tentative Offer notification is sent, and who have opted into receiving text alerts within their USAJOBS profile, will include the following information:
- New Hire First Name
- New Hire Agency/Department
- Shortened Tentative Offer URL
- Reply STOP to opt out

Administrative Functionality
Added an Enable Text Alert for this customer toggle under a new Default Text Alert (Tentative Offer Only) section, which allows users with Edit Customer permission to automatically elect all new hires associated with the selected customer to receive text alerts. Users can disable text alerts for new hires in their individual records if needed. All changes are captured in History.
Note: For new hires to receive sent text messages, their application cannot have been created manually, and they must also opt-in to receiving text alerts within their USAJOBS profile.
