How do I send an email to a candidate?

SeekOut helps you identify candidates, find their contact information, and engage with multiple prospects at once with messaging campaigns.

You can also send ad-hoc messages to individuals based on a messaging template you create.

Creating Templates

To get started, create your template. Navigate to your "Messaging" tab, ensure your email account is connected with SeekOut, and click the "New Template" button.

Use the Insert Field link where you want to put in candidate-specific fields like first name. You'll see a placeholder appear. The placeholder will be filled in with the candidate's information (or current day of week).

When you've finished, click Save to store your template. 

Sending an Email

To contact a candidate, click the "Message" button under their name. Choose which Template you would like to use. The template will be filled in with the fields you added in the template such as the candidate's name and current company.  

Select Copy message to clipboard to manually copy-paste into your email client, or Open in email to compose your email in your default email client.
