Candidate Email Address Verification

Recruiters can verify whether candidate email addresses entered in the system are valid. Knowing that candidates have not validated their email address, recruiters can use alternate communication channels to send communications.

When administrators enable the feature, candidates are sent a message asking them to validate their email address. The message contains a link to the career section. Once candidates click the link, they are taken to the career section login page. On successful login, candidates see the message “Email successfully verified”. If the validation fails, candidates see the message "Email verification failed" with a generic explanation. If the email address was already validated, candidates see the message "Email verification failed" with an explanation that their email address was already validated.

In Recruiting Center, recruiters can see that a candidate’s email address was validated. The Email Validated icon appears in the candidates list. It also appears on the candidate card when viewing the general profile or submission of a candidate. The verification is done once per candidate unless the email address is changed.

A quick filter is also available to display candidates who have validated their email address.

Note: For existing candidates whose email address is yet to be validated, the email address validation message is sent if the candidate is active and when the candidate reaches the step as configured in the setting.
