Tags
This is a pretty interesting feature to use in case you use Waalaxy to do recruitment. You will be able to tag your candidates if they have replied to your message, if they agree with your proposal, if they have been contacted, if they have passed the first interview, if they have taken the X test, etc.
Tags are usable in filters, so imagine how easy it will be to know who responded to your introductory message in your list of candidates, so you can follow up with them in a few clicks.
Select the sequence to contact your candidates
You can use any sequence you want depending on your needs and preferences, internally our very well known and coveted HR, Violette uses the Mercury sequence. Which sends a connection request (without a connection note), a message where she’ll offer her offer, her expectations and a follow-up message.
After several tests, we have seen that almost everyone accepts in their network someone who sends them a connection request, unless your sector of activity is very far from the person you are contacting.
Once the connection request has been accepted, you can send a message that will land in the person’s mailbox and a follow-up message in case they have not responded.
You can choose a connection request sequence (with a connection note) and only a follow-up message. Or on the contrary, choose a sequence that will have more than 2 messages.

You can import candidate searches from Recruiter Lite into your Waalaxy listings. Here’s a short tutorial that shows you how to do it. 👇
⚠️ It is not yet possible to import candidates from already registered projects, you must go through a “Search”.
