From the very first day you sign up to Sidekicker, you'll start hearing from us! We'll contact you for various reasons, such as to remind you about an upcoming interview or to notify you of a new job opportunity.

This article includes examples of the different types of messages you might receive from Sidekicker, how you are notified of these messages and how you can manage your notification preferences.
​
We only want to send you information that is useful to you, so there are a number of different ways we will get in contact.
​
​It's important that you do not 'blacklist' our email addresses, or 'mark as spam' as you may not be notified of important details about your jobs, or receive your payslips.
Instead, you can adjust your settings as described below:

When you first download the Sidekicker app you will be prompted to enable push notifications on your device settings. We recommend doing so to ensure you're the first to hear about new job opportunities and any important messages we send to you via the Sidekicker app.

If you have not yet enabled push notifications on your device and would like to, you can find instructions on how to do this for iOS here and Android here.

You can choose to be notified about new jobs via push notification, email, or both. To manage these settings, follow these steps:

Handy tip: We recommend updating your job preferences in the Sidekicker app to ensure you are only notified about jobs that are relevant to you based on your availability and location preferences.

Note: Regardless of your subscription preferences, you will continue to receive important emails from our team related to operational activities, technical updates, your account and your employment.

Our team will also occasionally send you messages via the chat bubble on the Sidekicker app/desktop site. This could be to remind you to submit a timesheet for a job you recently completed, or to update you on recent changes made to the Sidekicker product.

While you cannot set preferences for the types of messages you receive via chat, you can determine whether or not you receive a push notification if a chat message has been sent with one by enabling this in your device settings.

Note: Chat messages are rarely sent with push notifications. Where a push notification is used, this is because we believe it is important you see that particular chat message.

If your circumstances have changed and you have stopped looking for work with Sidekicker, you can get in touch with us via the blue chat bubble to let us know. From here, we can cancel your Sidekicker account to ensure you do not receive any further messages from us.

Don't worry, if you want to return to us in future, you can! Simply get in touch again via the blue chat bubble and we will reinstate your account.
