Thank you page
Customize the message candidates see after submit, or redirect to your own URL.
Control what candidates see after they successfully submit their interview - a custom thank you screen on Hirekal, or an optional redirect to a page on your site. Examples on Thank you page.
Options
| Option | What candidates see |
|---|---|
| Thank you page | Your custom heading and message (up to 200 words) on Hirekal after submit |
| Redirect URL | Optional. When set, candidates are redirected to your configured http or https link instead of staying on the thank you screen |
You can use the thank you page alone, or add a redirect - redirect is not required.
Thank you page
When Redirect URL is empty, candidates finish submit and see your configured screen:
- Heading - title at the top (for example “Thanks for applying!”)
- Message - confirmation copy with next steps, timeline, or contact details (200 words max)
Configure this in Settings → Thank You Page on a published job - see Job settings. Use Preview on the job to check how it looks before you invite people.
Redirect to your site
When you add a Redirect URL (for example https://yourcompany.com/careers/thank-you):
- The candidate submits their interview.
- The candidate is redirected to your configured URL.
- They leave the Hirekal thank you screen - your careers page (or similar) takes over.
Redirect is useful when you already have a branded confirmation page or want candidates back on your main site immediately after apply.
If you use a redirect
Make sure the destination page confirms the application was received - candidates will not stay on the Hirekal thank you message.
Configuration
Set this per job in the Hirekal console:
- Open the job.
- Go to Job settings.
- Open the Thank you page section.
- Edit Heading, Message, and optionally Redirect URL.
- Save and test the apply link yourself before sending at scale.
Why it matters
A clear thank-you experience sets expectations on timeline and follow-up, keeps employer branding consistent after the interview, and reduces “did it go through?” support emails. Pair it with a Custom domain so the full candidate journey stays on-brand.
