Considerations
- Email Delivery to Candidate's Inbox - As part of this feature, steps have been taken to ensure emails come from addresses that do not have reputation issues. This will accelerate delivery and improve the probability that your emails appear in the candidate's inbox. To increase that probability, it is recommended that you use the candidate's name in the email and also use a personal tone.
- Emails sent from Stage will appear in the candidate’s inbox with the following convention: “Recruiter Name <recruiter.email.address@cc.npe.lumesse.top>”
- Emails sent from Production will appear in the candidate’s inbox with the following convention: “Recruiter Name <recruiter.email.address@cc.recruitmail.com>”
- Email Delivery to Recruiter's Inbox - If your organization has special email quarantine or spam filters, this may delay or prevent a candidate's replies from appearing in your inbox. To overcome this issue, the IP addresses for the email functionality in Production portals are being shared below. Your IT organization can add the IP addresses to your "allow" list to help ensure candidate replies are not blocked or delayed.
