It's tedious and an absolute waste of time to write the same message over and over again. We've built our powerful Email Template Builder that you can use to create custom messages to send to all your candidates and contacts.
There are 3 types of Email Templates in Recruit CRM:
Automated workflow Templates: These templates are triggered automatically when a specific event occurs. E.g. If the hiring stage of a candidate is changed or if any candidate has applied through your website.
Candidate Templates: These templates are created by you only for candidates, and these can be selected from the drop-down while sending emails to candidates. It only includes candidate placeholders.
Contact Templates: These templates are created by you only for contacts, and these can be selected from the drop-down while sending emails to contacts. It only includes contact placeholders.
To create a new Candidate or Contact Email Template, go to Email templates and click on the Green "Create Email Template" button.
Recruit CRM also lets you add custom "Placeholders" to your emails that automatically pick up associated values like candidates/contacts first/last name, company name, job name, etc. to give your message a more personal touch.
Also, if you wish to use the same placeholder multiple times in the email body, you can use that from the Placeholders drop-down.
You can even copy the placeholder and use it in the email subject line.
To edit a Candidate or Contact Email Template, go to Email templates and click on the 'pencil' icon next to the template that you want to delete.
Do hit the Green 'Save' button to save the changes.
To delete an Email Template, go to Email templates and click on the 'dustbin/trashcan' icon right next to the pencil icon, along the line of the template to be deleted.
