Hi,

Does anyone uses bulk email to reach your database of candidates and if so, could you recommend a particular one, I have checked vertical response and constantcontact. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lucy,

Thanks for the post. There are many options that you can use. What is the goal you are looking to accomplish? Using a small scale provider may not work for what you are looking to accomplish. I can speak offline if that would help.

We use Infusionsoft at Recruiting Blogs. I can help answer any questions.

If you are "mass emailing" people and not adding them to a list, then you need another strategy.

Services like mailgun and sendgrid are your best option if you have some technical know-how, and don't want to host your own service.

Read up on CAN Spam laws before taking this approach. It can be done correctly and legally, but you need to understand the risks vs rewards of sending emails on a large scale.

One of my peers uses ConstantContact and he swears by it - I have signed up for it but have not tried it yet. Will let you know!

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for your response.

I will actually be adding them to the list, these are emails of people who have given me their email. Any suggestions?
