A recruitment module helps companies organise candidates for hiring and recruitment purposes. Allowing businesses to collect information, organise prospects based on experience and skill set, and filter applicants. There are many benefits of using such a module, and you can expect to see metrics like time, cost, and candidate quality improvements.

The Microsoft Outlook Integration feature allows you to connect the recruitment module to your Microsoft Outlook account and send candidate emails directly from the platform. However, you will not be able to add a user to a calendar invite if they do not have an email address on their file. You can also use this feature to disconnect this integration if you no longer want to send Outlook emails via your recruitment platform.
