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.
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 scheduling back-and-forth doesn'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
To create each Split Inbox:
- Hit Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) → Create Split Inbox.
- Name your Split Inbox and choose how Mail should filter it — sender, domain, subject line, label, or AI criteria.
- Matching emails will automatically appear in your Split Inbox going forward.

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.
- Hit Cmd+K or Ctrl+K → Create Snippet to build a Snippet from a message, a draft, or from scratch.
- Give it a name and write the text you want to reuse.
- Include variables for names, and placeholders for dates, company names, or anything else that changes between messages.
- While drafting, hit ; then the Snippet name — Mail inserts the full text instantly.

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.
- Hit Cmd+K or Ctrl+K → Recent Opens to pull up the feed.
- Scan for candidates who’ve recently opened your outreach.
- Follow up while you’re still top of mind.

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.
- Open any draft you want feedback on.
- Hit Cmd+K or Ctrl+K → Share Draft and add your teammate as a collaborator.
- Leave a Comment inline and use @ to tag a specific person.
- Edit together in real time, then send when the draft is ready.
💡 Tip: Learn how to collaborate in the inbox.
Write with AI
Starting an email from a blank page takes time you don’t have. Mail generates a first draft right from the compose window — so you can respond to candidates faster, keep communication thoughtful, and protect the candidate experience even when your inbox volume is high.
- Hit Cmd+K or Ctrl+K → Write with AI while composing a new email or inside any thread.
- Give Mail a short prompt — the key message, the tone, or the next step you want to communicate.
- Mail drafts the full reply in your voice.
- Review, edit, and send.
