When you click Get Email, SeekOut will often return multiple email addresses for a candidate.

Note: When you request an email address for a candidate, you will only use one contact credit even if SeekOut finds more than one email.

Use this address first

When looking at a candidate profile within a project, click on an email address and select Use this address first in messaging campaign. The email will be highlighted in green.

When this candidate is added to a new messaging campaign, SeekOut will always send messages to the highlighted email. This setting overrides Recipient Email Preference.

Manually add an email address to a candidate profile

Add an email address to a candidate by clicking the plus sign next to the emails in their profile.
