Overview

Campaigns let you automatically send emails to candidates in a specific Cohort.

Use them to nurture your talent pipeline, re-engage candidates, and stay in touch at the right time.

💡 Helpful note: Campaigns are available on Growth and Concierge plans.


Before you start

Campaigns require a Cohort.


Create a campaign

  • Go to the Campaigns tab from your dashboard

  • Click + Create campaign


Set campaign details

  • Campaign Name (internal only)

  • Owner (manages the campaign)

  • From (email signature, can differ from owner)

💡 Helpful notes:

  • Candidate replies go to the owner’s email inbox (ex: Gmail or Outlook)

  • If replies are missing, check your Spam folder


Choose your cohort

  • Select one or more Cohorts to target

  • Campaign emails will be sent to candidates in those groups


Add emails to your campaign

  • Select or create an email template (required)

💡 Helpful note: Time delays are relative to the previous email in the sequence.
