Who can do this: Owners and Admins on any list. Members on lists they own or are assigned to.

Send a job submission list to one or more contacts at your client. Each contact gets an email with a personal link, so they don't need a password.

Steps

  1. Open the list and click Share your list.

  2. In the search field ("Search companies, contacts or add new"), type a contact's name or email and pick them from the results.

  3. If the contact isn't there yet, type their email and choose (add as new contact). Fill in:

    • Email address

    • Company: pick the client company, or choose add as new company

    • First name and Last name

Click Create. Candidately shows "Client contact has been created".

  1. Add more contacts from the same company the same way. Each one shows as a chip in the field.

  2. Click the bell next to each contact to choose which emails they get from this list: Subscribe to list updates & Automated follow-ups, Subscribe to list updates or Unsubscribe.

  3. Leave Notify people on so your contacts get the share email. With it off, they get access to the list but no email.

  4. Write your message, or click Email templates and pick one. Choose Styled email or Plain text email.

  5. Leave Include list of "Active" candidates below the message. ticked if the email should list the candidates.

  6. Click Preview. Use the switch at the top of the Email Preview to check the email for each contact.

What happens next

  • Candidately shows "List has been shared successfully". The client's name now shows under the list name.

  • Each contact gets an email, for example "New candidates for [list name] shared by [your first name]". The link logs them straight in.

  • The contacts show under People with access when you open Share your list again.

Everyone on the list sees each other's activity

On a job submission list, everyone you share with sees each other's messages and requests: CV requests, interview requests, declines and messages. That's why a job submission list is for one client company. To send candidates to several companies at once, use a marketing list.

Good to know

  • Up to 200 contacts per share.

  • The list has to be active before clients can open it. If it isn't, the button says Send & Activate list, and sending activates the list.

  • You can't share a list with colleagues from your own company. Add them under Assignees instead.

Troubleshooting

  • "Please activate your list before sharing it." Set the list to Active at the top of the list, then share again.

  • "You cannot invite users from your own company." The email belongs to a colleague. Add them under Assignees.

  • The client didn't get the email. Ask them to check spam. Check their bell isn't set to Unsubscribe. You can also resend the invite, or copy the list link and send it yourself.
