Overview
In Recruiting, you can create email templates for messages you send often. Templates help you save time. They also help you send clear and consistent messages.
You can create templates for emails like these:
- Phone screen requests
- Feedback requests
- Interview confirmations
- Writing sample requests
- Reference requests
- Directions to your office
Use auto-fill tokens to personalize emails
Auto-fill tokens are placeholders you can add to any template. They help personalize each email you send.
To use an auto-fill token:
- Copy the token.
- Paste the token into the email template.
- Recruiting automatically inserts that information into every email.
