Communicate with an applicant
When communicating with applicants, companies typically send the applicant either a hard copy document or an email message.
Companies typically receive many responses to job advertisements, which can make the task of corresponding with each applicant a burden. To avoid this, you can use the Create application document and E-mail applicant features to automatically prepare letters and emails for applicants. Both types of communications are stored in the Document management folder. For more information, see Document management in sales and marketing. Before you can use these features, you must complete the following prerequisite tasks:
