This is for recruiters deciding how to share a Pitch Candidates link — and who want to understand why one method lets you track responses and the other doesn't.

Two ways to share, one real difference

You can pitch a shortlist to a hiring manager two ways:

To people outside your Recruiterflow contact base — copy a link and send it however you like.
To contacts inside Recruiterflow — send it from within the platform.

The steps to build the link are the same either way. The difference is what happens after you share: only the contacts route lets the manager act on candidates and lets you track what they do.

Which one should you use?

Reaching a brand-new lead you haven't worked with yet? Use the outside method. It gets attention and showcases your candidates, but you won't be able to track responses.
Pitching to someone already in your database? Use the contacts method. It's faster for you and the manager, and you can track their activity and act on it straight away.

Pitching to people outside your contact base

Select the candidates you want to pitch, then click Create and copy link at the bottom.
The link is created and copied to your clipboard. Share it with anyone outside Recruiterflow.
When the manager opens the link, they see the candidate profiles with the data you chose to include — but they can't interact with the list or take any action on it.

Pitching to contacts inside Recruiterflow

Click Share it with contacts.
An email window opens with the subject and body pre-filled and the Pitch Candidates link already attached. Edit any of it, or replace it entirely.
Add your recipients in the Send separate email to field and click Send. Each email is scheduled and delivered separately — no recipient sees the others.

Things to know

Only the contacts route lets managers Like, Drop, or Comment on candidates and lets you track their responses. A plain copied link is view-only.
Recipients are always emailed separately, so no one sees who else got the pitch — true for both methods.
Building the link is identical either way; you're only choosing how to share it.
