Recruiters, we know you're busy people. And sometimes, it feels like there just aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. One thing you may struggle with is finding the time to respond to your emails in a timely manner. But have no fear, because Outlook has got your back! Did you know that you can schedule a reply to an email in Outlook? Yep, that's right – you can compose an email now but have it sent at a later date or time. Keep reading to learn how.
Now, sit back and relax! Your email will be delivered at the exact date and time you specified. And the best part? You can schedule as many emails as you need, so you can spend less time worrying about being glued to your inbox and more time doing other important tasks like sourcing, interviewing, and building relationships with your candidates.
But wait, there's more! You can also set up a rule to automatically delay your replies to certain emails. This is helpful if you have an email that you know will require more time and attention than others, or if you want to give yourself some breathing room to craft the perfect response. Here's how:
You're all set! Your new rule will be applied to any email you send that meets the conditions you set. And your replies will always be delivered at the optimal time for you and your candidate.
