Estimated reading: 3 minutes 359 views

Managing your inbox efficiently saves time, which matters in recruitment where responsiveness affects the candidate experience. This guide covers how to organise and manage emails in Zoho Recruit.

How to organise your emails

  1. Connect your email account: go to Setup > Email Settings, connect your Gmail, Outlook or other business email, and confirm the connection using IMAP or POP settings.
  2. Create email templates: go to Email Templates in the Email section, click New Template, and add a subject, body and placeholders (for example, an interview invitation with the candidate’s name inserted automatically). Save and preview before using.
  1. Use folders and labels: in your inbox, use folders or labels such as New Applicants, Interviews or Offers, and tag emails as they arrive to stay organised.
  2. Automate email assignment: go to Setup > Automation > Assignment Rules to auto-assign or tag incoming candidate emails, and test the rule to confirm emails reach the right recruiter.
  1. Communicate from candidate records: open a candidate’s profile, click Send Email, and use a template or draft message. Emails sent this way log automatically to the candidate’s timeline.
  1. Track and search emails: use the global search bar to find emails by keyword, candidate name or job title, and filter by date, recruiter or status. Matching threads appear in the candidate’s and job’s history.
  2. Archive or delete old messages: select emails in your inbox to archive or delete, or use a mass action to batch-archive older messages and keep your inbox manageable.

Tips for effective email management

  • Use clear subject lines, for example “Application Received – Jane Smith”.
  • Set up email notifications under Settings > Notifications.
  • Use reminders to schedule follow-ups with tasks or calendar invites.
  • Unsubscribe from non-essential mailing lists to reduce clutter.
  • Archive regularly, aiming for a clear inbox at the end of each week.
