Doing the right thing (sending Thank You Letters to every candidate that has ever applied to or interviewed for one of your jobs) feels good. While we didn’t invent the thank you letter, we did make them easy to send and both employers and applicants are speaking up.
“AWESOME! frickin’ awesome feature” – Executive, Scoopler
“Just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve sent out two thank you letters to “non responsive” candidates. Both of them got back to me the same day.” – Sr. Recruiter, SolutionStream
“I really appreciate your feedback! Almost all the time, I hardly get any reply back from the employers/recruiters I apply to for jobs. You’re one of the very few exceptions.” – Job Applicant, Newton customer
Thanks for send me a note to let me know where I stand. A couple of my co-workers are looking right now. I will suggest that they check out your open jobs. – Job Applicant, Newton customer
“I love it! I was able to send out all my Thank You Letters today -thanks” Recruiter, Relyon
“It’s nice when recruiting software can actually do some of my heavy lifting and at the same time provide such a high level of service to candidates. You guys built a double whammy” Sr. Technical Recruiter, Proofpoint.
