Every hour you spend managing your inbox is an hour you’re not spending with candidates. Superhuman Mail is built to give that time back — by keeping your pipeline visible, your communication sharp, and your inbox under control.
This page covers the features that matter most for recruiters, and exactly how to put them to work.
Split Inbox
When you’re managing multiple roles, stages, and stakeholders at once, one inbox becomes a liability. Split Inbox gives you separate views for each type of conversation — so active candidate threads don’t get buried under ATS noise, and rejection responses don’t crowd out the emails that actually need your attention.
Here’s the Split Inbox setup that works best for recruiters:
- ATS Notifications — Isolate tool alerts so they never interrupt your candidate conversations
- Candidates (General) — Surface and prioritize all candidate emails so nothing gets lost
- Candidates (Applications) — Bucket applications by role to find the best people fast
- Candidates (Feedback Requests) — Capture feedback requests in one place so you can process them intentionally, in the right mindset
- Candidates (Rejection Responses) — Separate bulk rejection responses so you can batch-process them without losing other threads
- Internal — Triage team emails when you have bandwidth, so they never compete with candidate outreach
💡 Tip: Learn how to customize your Split Inbox setup.
Snippets
The best recruiters don’t rewrite the same interview confirmations, rejection language, and next-step emails from scratch every time. With Snippets, a few keystrokes drop in polished, pre-written copy for moving candidates through stages, sharing company values, looping in the right recruiter for a role, or sending interview prep and product trial invites. When your whole team shares Snippets, candidate communication stays consistent without anyone slowing down
to draft it.

Recent Opens Feed
Knowing when a candidate has opened your email changes how you recruit. The Recent
Opens Feed tells you exactly when that happens — so you can gauge interest in real time, decide whether to push, wait, or close out a candidate, and follow up when you’re top of mind rather than guessing at timing.

Comments and Shared Drafts
When a hiring manager needs to weigh in on a candidate, or a stakeholder needs context before a decision gets made, Comments and Shared Drafts let you work it out right inside the email — no Slack thread, no meeting, just the full picture exactly where it belongs.

Write with AI
Starting an email from a blank page takes time you don’t have. Superhuman AI generates a first draft right from Mail’s compose window — so you can respond to candidates faster, keep communication thoughtful, and protect the candidate experience even when your inbox volume is high.
