Quick Summary
Keep your alerts organized and effective by editing search criteria, pausing notifications temporarily, or deleting outdated alerts. Use clear naming conventions and monitor alert performance to get the most relevant job matches.
As your job search evolves, you'll want to adjust your alerts to match your changing priorities. Here's how to keep your alerts organized and effective.
Viewing All Alerts
Access your alerts from multiple places:
- Dashboard sidebar - Quick view of all saved searches with alert status
- Account Settings > Notification Settings - Comprehensive alert management
- Saved Searches page - Full list with editing options
Editing an Alert
To modify an existing alert:
Navigate to your saved searches
Click on the alert you want to edit
Update the search criteria, name, or notification settings
Save your changes
You can change:
- Search terms and filters
- Alert name
- Notification frequency
- Enable/disable notifications entirely
Pausing Alerts Temporarily
Need a break from notifications without deleting your searches?
Disable Individual Alerts
- Go to the saved search
- Toggle notifications off
- Your search remains saved for later use
Disable All Email Notifications
- Go to Account Settings > Notification Settings
- Turn off the master email notifications toggle
- All alert emails stop, but searches remain active
This is useful when:
- You're on vacation
- You've accepted an offer and want to pause your search
- You need to focus without distractions
Deleting Alerts
To permanently remove an alert:
- Go to your saved searches
- Click the delete icon next to the alert
- Confirm deletion
Note: Deleting a saved search removes all associated data, including notification history. This action cannot be undone.
Organizing Your Alerts
Naming Conventions
Use clear, descriptive names that help you quickly identify each alert:
- "Senior PM - Remote" rather than "Search 1"
- "Data Science Bay Area" rather than "DS jobs"
- "Marketing Director NYC $150k+" for specific criteria
Priority Management
With up to 10 alerts available:
- Reserve instant notifications for top-priority searches
- Use daily digests for exploratory or lower-priority searches
- Delete alerts for roles you're no longer pursuing
Monitoring Alert Performance
Check how well your alerts are working:
- Too many results? Make your search more specific
- Too few results? Broaden your criteria or add synonyms
- Stale results? Adjust date filters or check if the market is slow
Unsubscribing from Alert Emails
Every alert email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Clicking it will:
- Disable notifications for that specific saved search
- Keep your saved search intact for manual use
- Not affect your other alerts
