Initiating an instant message

1. To start a chat with a recruiter, access their profile via a job posting, email message, or a link provided by the recruiter.
   
   
    

2. On the top-right of the recruiter's profile, click the blue Message button.
   
    
    

3. This opens the Message Center, where you can engage with recruiters you’re interested in. 

Reviewing messages 

The message icon on the top-right navigation bar will indicate you have unread messages. The Message Center is where you can chat instantly with recruiters as well as review and take action on message threads. 

On your Home Feed, you will see a messages widget showing any unread messages. Clicking on either the messages widget or the messaging icon on the navigation bar will redirect you to the Message Center.

Note: If you dismiss this widget, it won’t show up again until 12 hours later, even if you have a new message.


 

Conversation threads will be listed on the left with the full conversation displayed on the right.



Use the drop-down on the top left to filter the messages displayed.



Note: Online shows recruiters who are currently online and available to chat.

Several actions may be performed from the options menu on the top-right of the conversation view:

• View this recruiter's profile
• Block/Unblock a user
• Add/Remove a conversation from favorites
• Mark a conversation as unread
• Delete a conversation

Never miss a message 

Messages received when you are not online will be emailed to you by default. You’ll receive a notification once every 12 hours, so we promise not to spam you. If you’d prefer not to receive an email when you get offline messages, you can opt out by:

1. Access the Message Center by clicking on the message icon from the top navigation bar. 

2. Click the Messaging Alerts icon. 
   

3. Click the slider to the gray position to opt out of the “Instant Message Alerts”.
