      Recruiters can now create, configure, and send job offers directly through SMS and WhatsApp, in addition to email. This feature modernizes candidate communication by reaching talent on their most-used platforms, speeding up response times and improving the overall offer experience. The new, unified Offer Communication modal allows users to seamlessly manage and send offers across all three channels from a single screen.

      Additionally this enhancement enables candidates to view and accept/reject offers via logged-in PCSIX through following signing methods: 

      1. DocuSign: A secure, third-party method for legally binding electronic signatures.

      2. Type-to-Sign: The candidate accepts the offer by simply typing their full name into a designated signature field. This is captured as a valid electronic signature.

      3. Wet Signature: Candidate can download the offer letter, physically sign it, and then upload it.

      • Admins must configure offers as an additional tab in PCSIX dashboard

      • This functionality is currently limited to external candidates, internal candidates using CareerHub must either use templates that exclude this variable or contact support to get this enabled separately for Talent Management.
