How to Handle Recruiter Replies Like a Pro

Congratulations! A recruiter has replied to your MailApply email. Now what?

Speed is Key

Recruiters move fast. If you wait 2 days to reply, they might have already booked 5 other interviews. Try to reply within 4 hours.

Be Flexible but Firm

If they ask for your availability, give them specific blocks. "I'm free tomorrow from 2 PM to 5 PM or Wednesday morning." This makes it easy for them to just pick a slot.

Use the History Tab

Need to remember exactly what you said to them? Use the MailApply History tab to see the AI-generated context of your first outreach. It will help you stay consistent and professional.
