Candidate writing Do's and Don'ts
Remember, short, concisely written messages are the best. The messages should not answer all the questions or give them a complete understanding of the role.
Force them to schedule a call with you to give them that information.
If you give them everything on email/messaging many times they will not get on the phone with you.
