Who it's for: anyone who works on job submission lists.

Candidately emails you when a client opens your list, asks for a CV, writes a message, requests an interview or declines a candidate. Here's what you get, and how to get fewer.

The emails

Email

When

Who gets it

"[Contact] just visited your list"

A client contact opens the list (at most once an hour per contact)

List assignees

"[Candidate]'s CV was requested on Candidately"

A client clicks Request CV

Colleagues receiving notifications for that candidate

Messenger email: "[Candidate] on the "[List]" list presented by [your company]"

A client sends a message, requests an interview (with any proposed times) or declines ("Your candidate was declined. Decline reason: …")

Colleagues receiving notifications for that candidate

List shared

A colleague shares the list and ticks Notify colleagues assigned to list

List assignees

Ready and AE Rejected

With split-desk on, a colleague marks a candidate Ready or sets AE Rejected

Colleagues receiving notifications for that candidate, except the person who made the change

Messenger email about a candidate with the client's message and Reply to this email directly

Messenger emails are one thread per candidate. Reply to the email and your answer goes into the conversation.

Get fewer emails

There's no on/off switch for these emails in your account settings. You control them per list and per candidate:

  • One candidate: open the candidate, click Add or remove participants and remove yourself from Colleagues receiving notifications.

  • One list: ask the list owner to remove you from the list's Assignees if you don't need to follow it.

  • Split-desk emails: in Settings > General settings, Owners and Admins can choose Notify instantly or Grouped notifications (one email about 15 minutes after the last change).

Good to know

  • You don't get Ready or AE Rejected emails for changes you make yourself.

  • Not getting an email you expect? Check that you're in Colleagues receiving notifications for the candidate, then check your spam folder.

  • Clients get their own emails. See Client emails: list updates and automatic follow-ups.
