Sending Messages

Once you have some interesting prospects, it’s time to start a conversation. You can send a direct message to up to 40 candidates at once, or set up a message campaign to automate the delivery of a set number of messages over a period of time. Review a few messaging basics first, then click on the tabs below to view all the details on direct messages and campaigns.

Messaging Basics

The messaging window is streamlined for efficiency – no need to format text or complete several fields. Just enter your message, then include a call to action and link to your job posting, which will be hyperlinked for your recipients.

  • Replies will be delivered to your Message Center, accessible at the top right of the screen.

  • When a candidate applies to a job through your message, they will be added to your Applicants page, which you can view from the top navigation.

Click the tabs below to learn more about your message options.

When you want to message candidates follow these steps:
  • Click the email icon within the candidate’s profile (or through the bulk options menu) to open a message window.

  • You will see your recipient(s) listed right at the top. Create your message using a Message Template, or enter your own in the open text field – make sure to include a call to action and a link to the job posting.
  • Click Send to deliver your message.
