When a Job is created, the 'Available for Application' status is applied by default. This means that the Job will appear in the ‘Available Jobs’ list when Tutors navigate to the ‘Available Jobs’ tab on their dashboard. They will be shown the Job’s name, description and pay rate. They will not be shown the assigned Client’s name or address or how much the Client is being charged.

Once a Job has been marked as ‘Available for Application’, notifications can be sent out to your Tutors informing them of the available work. To keep these notifications relevant to the right Tutors, you can specify desired or required skills for that Job to filter out the list of potential Tutors (you can also add filters based on a Tutor’s Location or Label).
You can then choose to notify all Tutors whose profiles have been marked as ‘Approved’, or only those with all of the required skills, or any Tutors who have at least one matching skill. Using skills in this way means that you can ensure that your Tutors only receive notifications for Jobs that are relevant to them.
Note: Job notifications will only be sent to a Tutor if their profile has not been deleted, has been approved, has a working email address and has the relevant Job notifications enabled. You can check to see whether a Tutor has their Job notifications turned on by navigating to their profile via People > Tutors and selecting Actions > Edit Profile - the ‘Receive Job Notifications’ checkbox can be found there under the ‘Received Notifications’ list.
Once a Tutor has applied to a Job, you can view their application by navigating to the Job, selecting the ‘Matching’ tab and either view further details of their application by clicking their name or approve/reject their application with the Approve or Reject buttons.

Administrators and Client Managers can be notified of Job applications from Tutors if the relevant group of users has been selected from the ‘Group to notify when a Tutor applies to a Job’ dropdown menu found in System > Settings > People and Activity > Activity. Here you can choose whether to send Job application notifications to Administrators, Client Managers or both. There is also the option to disable Job application notifications altogether.
