Job Mailbox (Email-To-Apply)

General

With your job posting's Job Mailbox, resumes of candidates can be emailed directly to the job posting and then automatically added to your pipeline. This feature particularly comes in handy if you have your job posted to a job board that we do not currently integrate with directly. If you set up your job mailbox email address as a recipient of notifications about your job on a different job board, Discovered can still intake those candidates despite not being integrated with the job board.

Key Steps

  1. Go to the job posting and navigate to the Find and Evaluate Talent tab.
  2. Scroll down to the Tools for Sourcing Candidates section.
  3. Locate the card labeled as Copy Job Mailbox and click the copy button.
  4. On your specialized job board, set up your job posting to to send notifications to this email address.
  5. Upon receiving the notification, the system will download the attached file, process it as a resume, and add the candidate to the job posting in Discovered.

Cautionary Notes

  • Make sure notifications are set up to go out specifically to this email address on the other job boards you are using it on. Sometimes small details like an extra checkbox can be overlooked, which will prevent the candidates from coming into Discovered.
