Email Candidates

Depending on configuration, you might have the option to send emails to candidates from within the Recruiting feature.

Role feature access: Recruiting > Recruiting > Actions > Send Email

You can send candidates an email by selecting Contact > Send Email in the toolstrip from the following locations:

  • In the candidate's profile.
  • From the candidate lists in Recruiting > Candidate Management.
  • From the Candidates tab for a job requisition in Recruiting > Job Requisitions.
  • From Recruiting > Talent Pools.

Note: You can send emails to multiple candidates when you select them from candidate lists.

When you click a contact option, Dayforce does one of the following depending on whether your organization uses the default email functionality or Letter Management templates:

  • If your organization uses the default functionality for candidate emails, Dayforce opens a new message in your default email client. If you only selected one candidate, their name is displayed in the To field of the email message. If you selected multiple candidates, their names are displayed in the Bcc field.
  • If your organization uses Letter Management templates for candidate emails, the Send Email dialog box opens. In this dialog box, you must select a template and configure the required tokens (if any) before sending the email. See Recruiting Email Letter Management Distribution.

To review the emails sent to a candidate, go to the candidate's profile and then to Communications > Sent Email.
