Bulk emailing candidates

Bulk emailing candidates is an efficient way to reach out to many candidates at the same time. 

To bulk email candidates, move to the Candidates tab in the top navigation menu and select the opportunities for the candidates you would like to email.

To select all opportunities in a specific stage, navigate to the appropriate pipeline section (Lead, Applicant, or Interview), filter for the desired stage (by clicking the stage tile in the pipeline header), and check the box at the top of the opportunities list. Note that the suitcase icon in a candidate's row indicates they have multiple open opportunities.

To select only specific opportunities from a list, manually check the boxes next to the candidates' names.

Once you have selected the opportunities of the candidates you wish to email, click the Email button in the bulk action toolbar.

In the email editor, draft your email or click on Template to insert an email template from the dropdown list. You can edit your message just as you would normally would with Lever mail, including cc and bcc'ing colleagues as well as inserting Easy Book links. For more information on sending emails in Lever, refer to the following help articles:

• Creating email templates
• Using Lever mail

If you have included a candidate with multiple active opportunities among your selection, check the 'Send only one email for each unique candidate' checkbox to avoid sending duplicate emails to the same person. 

It is also possible that a selected candidate has other active opportunities that are not included in your current selection. Check the 'Don't email candidates with other active opportunities' box to remove any candidates with more than one active opportunity from the bulk email. 

You can configure the timing for when you would like the email to be sent and click Preview to see how the email will appear to candidates. The final step is to click Send later for scheduled emails or Send to send your email immediately.

If you want to cancel a scheduled email, you must do so from each individual opportunity.
