Marketing email campaigns in Recruiterflow are a powerful way to reach candidates, clients, and prospects at scale. To make sure your emails land in inboxes, generate responses, and maintain a strong sender reputation, it’s important to follow a few best practices.

1. Always Verify Your Email

  • Verify your email or alias under Settings → Automation Settings before creating a marketing campaign.

  • Unverified emails will fail to send and may cause deliverability issues.

  • Using a verified email ensures higher inbox placement and reliable tracking.

2. Keep Your Audience Targeted

  • Segment your lists before starting a campaign.

  • Avoid sending mass emails to all contacts. Tailor campaigns to specific industries, job functions, or client needs.

  • Smaller, more focused campaigns typically see better open and reply rates.

3. Personalize Your Messaging

  • Use templates as a starting point, but customize subject lines and opening lines where possible.

  • Add context (e.g., recent roles, market trends, or business needs) to make your email feel relevant.

  • Keep your message short, clear, and conversational.

4. Mind Your Sending Limits

  • Even though Recruiterflow provides a separate domain for bulk sending, email providers still monitor for spam-like behavior.

  • Avoid sending too many emails too quickly. Space out campaigns if you’re targeting large audiences.

  • Use test emails to review formatting and avoid mistakes before going live.

5. Optimize for Deliverability

  • Avoid excessive links, images, or spam-trigger words (e.g., “Act now”).

  • Make sure your sender name appears professional and recognizable:
    <Your First Name> from <Your Company Name>

  • Always include an unsubscribe option. Recruiterflow automatically manages unsubscribes for you.

6. Track and Adjust

  • Monitor key campaign metrics: delivered, opens, replies, bounces, and unsubscribes.

  • If open rates are low, try adjusting subject lines.

  • If reply rates are low, test shorter, more personalized messages.

  • Remove bounced or inactive emails from your lists to keep them clean.

7. Respect Replies and Unsubscribes

  • When a contact replies, the campaign for that recipient automatically stops. Take the opportunity to engage personally.

  • Anyone who unsubscribes is unsubscribed from your account, not just one campaign. Make sure your lists reflect this change.
