Email Blasts

Email blasts send emails to selected candidates with a subject line and message body.

How Email Blasts Work

  1. Subject line: Enter up to 200 characters

  2. Message body: Enter up to 2000 characters

  3. Recipients: System sends to candidates with valid email addresses

  4. Filtering: Option to only send to candidates who haven't completed interviews and aren't knocked out

Rate Limiting

Emails are rate limited to once per hour per candidate. This prevents spam and maintains professional communication.

  • If you attempt to email a candidate who received an email in the last hour, they will be automatically skipped

  • The system tracks this automatically - you don't need to manage it manually

  • Skipped candidates will show "rate_limited" as the reason in your blast results

Requirements

  • Valid email addresses for selected candidates

  • Subject line (required, 200 character limit)

  • Message body (required, 2000 character limit)

Technical Details

  • Invalid email addresses are automatically skipped

  • Email domain setup only needed if you've configured a custom sender domain

  • System tracks delivery status for each candidate

Viewing Email Blast Results

After sending, you can view:

  • Total selected: Number of candidates you chose

  • Eligible: Candidates who met the filtering criteria

  • Enqueued: Successfully sent emails

  • Skipped: Candidates who were filtered out (with reasons)

Access blast history from your job posting's Actions dropdown → Blast Requests.
