Email conversation between HRM and applicant #8

Open Jeroenvh99 opened 8 months ago

When the hiring manager replies to the email with the application the backend receives it and the email address of the applicant is decrypted from the subject and the email gets forwarded to that address. The email that the applicant receives has the email address of the hiring manager encrypted in the subject, so that for communication the other way we can use the same logic. This would allow for communication between the hiring manager and the applicant that's more than just a message whether or not you're invited for an interview. Implementing this would require building an emailserver into the backend since unbiased now needs to be able to receive email.

Sort of related problem: how are we going to make sure that the emails that get sent from unbiased don't get flagged as spam and actually get delivered to their destination. We cannot use a no-reply email address if we also want to implement the above feature.
