I recently saw a post about a job seeker applying for a role and being asked, “Are you currently employed and have been in your job for at least one year?”

If we want to make sure our messages are getting through, it’s critical that we communicate to candidates using the method that works for them. Read on to find out when email, text, phone or even traditional mail work best.
