Ways to Send Candidates to a Hiring Manager

Recruiters can send candidates to Hiring Managers from multiple areas in BrightMove. This flexibility allows you to initiate a Sendout whether you’re working from a specific job or reviewing candidates in bulk.

Sendouts can be initiated from:

  • The Submittals tab on a Job Profile

  • Power Search results for candidates

Sending Candidates via Mass Actions

When sending candidates from the Submittals tab or Power Search, you’ll use the Mass Action workflow.

To begin:

  1. Select one or more candidates from the list

  2. Open the Choose an Action for the List dropdown

  3. Select Send to Hiring Manager

Sendout Options (Group vs. Individual Emails)

After selecting Send to Hiring Manager, a modal will appear asking how you’d like to send the candidates:

  • Send in one email

    • All selected candidates are included in a single Sendout email to the Hiring Manager

  • Send individual emails

    • Each candidate is sent in a separate email to the Hiring Manager

Note: You can send up to 25 candidates at a time using this workflow.

Once you choose your preferred option, the Sendout screen will open, allowing you to select the Hiring Manager, compose your email, and optionally attach candidate documents.

What Happens Next

From the Sendout screen, you can:

  • Assign the appropriate Hiring Manager

  • Add CC or BCC recipients

  • Compose your message using substitution fields

  • Select which candidate attachments (such as resumes or cover letters) to include
