Email Sync (Recruiters)
Send emails without leaving Paraform. Compose, reply, syncing and more.
By Jeffrey Li
Connect your Gmail to Paraform and send emails to sourced candidates and sync all email communication.
Syncing a new account
- Navigate to Settings and click Connect under the Gmail integration section
- Authorize Paraform to access and sync your emails. Remember to check Read, compose and send emails permissions when prompted by Google.
- After connecting, you'll be redirected back and all emails you have associated with candidates on Paraform will begin syncing with your inbox. Paraform will only read and sync emails with sourced candidates who have an email address you've added.
- Email syncing may take up to an hour and going forward, emails will continue to stay in sync.
Sending emails
Once you've synced your account, you can now compose emails to candidates without leaving Paraform. To send an email to a candidate, click Compose Email from within any sourced candidate.
After pressing send, the email will be automatically sent from your email address and all subsequent emails will stay in-sync.
Going forward, you'll be able to view all email threads and also reply to any email in the thread.
Note: Paraform takes the security of your data and our infrastructure very seriously. We are committed to providing an environment that is safe, secure, and available to all of our customers all the time.
Interview intro emails
By default, interview introduction emails are sent from Paraform introducing the recruiter, candidate and hiring manager. If the hiring manager has their inbox connected, the introduction email would be sent on behalf of them.
We believe the most natural way to introduce is via the recruiter's email. If you connect your inbox, introduction emails will default come on behalf of you (the recruiter). Once the hiring manager is interested in interviewing a candidate, they'll be able to modify the exact introduction email that gets sent.
