What does it mean to be a follower in the Recruit App?

This article explains the process of becoming a follower of an applicant and what are the benefits of becoming one.

Followers are users who receive email notifications about major milestones in an Applicant's progress through the recruitment process.   

Every job offer in HR Cloud is handled by a hiring manager. Once an applicant applies for a job, that hiring manager becomes his first follower by default.

Other users with access to Applicant profiles can become followers as well by clicking Start Following (highlighted yellow) in the Applicant's profile.
