You can use Homerun to easily reach out to candidates and set up interviews, calls, or other events. All communication, as well as past and future events, are saved in the candidate's Activity. In this article, we'll highlight 2 candidate communication actions and we'll share a few tips and tricks to optimize your workflow.

❗️ Important note for users on a trial: it's not possible to send out real emails. All emails you send during your trial are demo emails for you to test out what it's like to send message candidates.​ Please contact our support team to get verified, which will allow you to use our email functionality.
