Creating an automated email sequence

Recruitment Marketing Public

A Workflow is a series of automated actions triggered by a specific candidate event; completing a particular call-to-action, for example, or progressing to a different stage in the ATS. By automating outreach at key touch-points on the candidate journey, Workflows encourage the growth of a better-informed and more engaged talent network. This leads to more effective, more efficient recruiting overall.

The Sequences features takes the platform's workflows tool to the next level, bringing together proven drip-marketing techniques with Recruitment Marketing's own automation functionality. Leveraging our sophisticated Emails feature, the Sequences tab lets users construct and activate a series of personalised emails, delivered to candidates at intervals chosen by you, with just a few clicks.
