to alert
I'd steer away from a literal translation here:
It is also the project and resource manager's responsibility to alert / advise the recruiter of relevant issues / to bring relevant issues to the recruiter's attention.
Etc.

Comment: "Chris, and again thank you very much. The word 'signaal' is used in many ways throughout this 104 pp document. I used your suggestion in some cases but also used 'identify' and 'indications' in other contexts. "

warning function
dit is de vertaling die van dale geeft. Denk dat het wel past in de context (waarschuwings functie).

Again, I would not attempt to find a noun in English for "signaalfunctie". Een werkwoordelijke vertaling is hier m.i. op zijn plaats.
