Manage Candidates - Send Email

Use the Manage Candidates send email feature to email individual candidates directly from the Manage Candidates page or the candidate's profile. Replies can be sent and received from your email provider. View a history of the emails on the applicant's profile.

Additionally, you can use tags that contain the text used to populate an email message.

When the emails are sent, only the name of the receiving candidate appears in the To: field.

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.
    • 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.
