# Outreach overview

> Outreach in Tandem emails people who haven't applied yet, from your searches or your own list, and invites them to apply.

Outreach lives in `Outreach flow` on a live role: `Messages` holds the emails, `Activity` the results.

## Two ways to send

- **To people you pick.** Select people in the `Sourcing` results or in `Your candidates` and click `Add to outreach`, up to 50 at a time. They get the email sequence right away.
- **On a schedule.** Set up Tandem's outreach, and Tandem searches for new matches and emails them on the schedule you set.

Either way, every person gets the same sequence: an invitation and up to four follow-ups, with a `See the role and apply` button.

## What you control

- The emails: Tandem drafts them from the job description, and you can edit, add or reset them.
- Who gets them: people you add, or the match score and number per run for Tandem's outreach.
- When it runs: you can pause or resume Tandem's outreach at any time.

Tandem's outreach runs use credits for candidate search (3 credits per candidate). Revealing an email to send outreach is free.

## What Tandem does not do

- Tandem does not send outreach by text or WhatsApp. Outreach is email only; text and WhatsApp messages come only after a candidate applies.
- Tandem does not email people who unsubscribed from your workspace's outreach.
- Tandem does not email people you import until you add them to outreach.
- Tandem does not keep emailing someone after they apply.
