Messaging & Notifications
Lynx keeps communication attached to the right context: role-level discussion for the search, and candidate-level discussion for each submission. Notifications make sure decisions don’t stall in someone’s inbox.
Messaging in Lynx
Lynx provides real-time messaging in two places:
- Role chat: general discussion about the job role (requirements, calibration, process, status)
- Candidate chat: discussion and feedback tied to a specific candidate profile
Use role chat for broad context, and candidate chat for candidate-specific feedback so nothing gets buried.
Stage-change notifications (submission, interviews, offer, etc.)
When you move a candidate to a new stage (for example from Pending Submission to Submitted), Lynx can send a notification email to selected recipients.
- You can customize the notification message during the stage transition
- You can choose which role members should be notified
- The email includes a direct link to the candidate profile
Manual notifications and reminders
In addition to stage-change emails, recruiters can send manual notifications from the candidate profile. This is useful when you want to prompt a review without moving stages (or when you want to follow up).
- Send New: send a new notification message
- Resend: resend the most recent notification (useful for follow-up reminders)
Follow-up reminders
If a candidate's stage has been inactive longer than the role's follow-up reminder threshold, Lynx flags it as needing attention. This helps your team spot stalled decisions and follow up quickly.
Who can send notifications?
Notification tools are intended for recruiter-side users (recruiters, admins, and owners). Clients can still participate via candidate decisions and chat, but recruiter-side users typically control outbound notification cadence.
