### Keeping Candidates Warm: The Power of Applicant Follow-Up Sequences In today's competitive job market, the recruitment process is more than just filling positions—it's about creating a positive candidate experience. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through applicant follow-up sequences. This feature allows employers to send onboarding messages tailored to applicants' statuses, ensuring they remain engaged and informed throughout the hiring process. #### Why This Matters Maintaining communication with candidates is crucial for several reasons: - **Candidate Engagement**: Regular updates keep candidates interested and engaged, reducing the chances of them accepting offers elsewhere. - **Professionalism**: Consistent communication reflects well on your organization, showcasing your commitment to candidate experience. - **Streamlined Process**: Automated follow-ups help streamline the recruitment workflow, allowing recruiters to focus on high-priority tasks. #### How It Works in Agent MIM Agent MIM integrates applicant follow-up sequences seamlessly into the hiring process. Here’s how it works: 1. **Status-Based Messaging**: Depending on the applicant's status (e.g., screened, interviewed, or offered), you can schedule automated emails that provide next steps. 2. **Personalization**: Customize messages to address specific concerns or questions candidates may have, enhancing the personal touch. 3. **Timely Reminders**: Set reminders for follow-up emails after important milestones, such as sending a next-steps email immediately following a screening call. #### Where to Find It To leverage applicant follow-up sequences, navigate to the Admin dashboard and select the "Applicants" section. From there, you can easily set up and manage your follow-up sequences, ensuring that no candidate is left in the dark. #### Ask MIM If you have questions about setting up applicant follow-up sequences or need assistance with customization, don’t hesitate to reach out!
