Connect your email account 

If you want to send emails to candidates directly from Recruitment, connect your Outlook or Gmail account. 

Once connected, you can send candidate communication such as: 

• Interview invitations 
• Emails when moving candidates to another stage 
• Follow-up messages 
• Other candidate communication 

Important

Recruitment can send standard system emails, such as application confirmations and notifications, without a connected Outlook or Gmail account. However, if you want to send emails directly to candidates from Recruitment, you must connect your own Outlook or Gmail account. 

Note

If a recruitment stage is configured to send an email but no email account is connected, the email is not sent and a red Not sent label appears next to the candidate's name.

Connect your video conferencing provider 

If you conduct online interviews, connect one of the following services: 

• Microsoft Teams 
• Google Meet 

These integrations allow Recruitment to include online meeting links in interview invitations.

What should you do next? 

After completing the setup, you are ready to create and publish your first job.
