The Send from a no-reply email button lets you send messages without having to manage replies.
Candidates receive messages directly via emails and hiring managers receive them automatically in the Factorial message board. Learn more about the message board here.
Filters in the message inbox
To find your emails using filters, go to the Message Inbox section in the Recruitment functionality and select the desired filter(s). This will help you quickly locate emails that have not yet been answered by candidates or recruiters or have not been read. Once a candidate is rejected or hired, the conversation can be archived.

Personalized Messages with Templates
The platform allows you to quickly and efficiently compose messages using the “Custom Messages” feature. With this functionality, you can:
- Select a pre-designed template for your message, streamlining communication with candidates.
- Insert dynamic variables (such as candidate name, position, or interview date) to automatically personalize each message while keeping a professional and approachable tone.
This tool helps maintain consistent and professional communication, saving time throughout the recruitment process.

To create a template, simply write the message you want, include any variables you need, and click “Save as template.” Then, give your template a name, and it will be saved for future use.
