To create a professional image for your recruitment business, you can consider purchasing an email hosting account when you register your domain name.
Just to clarify, the email hosting service and the email accounts which run on your domain name are provided by your domain name registrar.
It is also important to highlight that all help, support and configuration of your domain email accounts are provided by your domain registrar (domain name registration company).
Even though the email service is provided by your domain registrar, and not QuickontheNet.com at Quick on the Net Limited, we have chosen to present the important issues on this web page, so that you can get a full understanding of what is possible and also recognise who is responsible for which service.
How to Choose a Professional Email Address
Depending on the size of your recruitment business, there are a number of different approaches you can take.
Starting with the basics, if you have a professional job site and a great domain name, then it does not look very professional if you contact your clients using a free email address from Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, or something similar.
Domain email accounts are not very expensive and it is best to buy them at the exact same time you register your domain.
Let's assume your new recruitment business and job site is called:
FutureJobSite.com.
It is best to use short simple email addresses which are easy to remember and simple to explain to clients over the phone. Firstly consider the personal option because the most obvious choice is your first name:
janet@futurejobsite.com
john@futurejobsite.com
With a larger business, there are popular generic email addresses you can consider:
contact@futurejobsite.com
info@futurejobsite.com
sales@futurejobsite.com
admin@futurejobsite.com
support@futurejobsite.com
help@futurejobsite.com
enquiries@futurejobsite.com
Avoid Spam Email from Day One
When you get a new email account, it is very tempting to promote it to the whole world and splash it all over your new website.
That should be avoided and actually we recommend that you never publish your email address on your website or anywhere on the internet. If you want employers, clients and job seekers to contact you, simply use your website contact form. You can add as many contact forms as you wish and the advantage is that you will receive website message enquiries in your email inbox without revealing your own email address.
It is most important to remember that once the spam email starts to arrive, then it is probably already too late to take corrective action. Therefore, be smart from the start and only give your email address to trusted individuals.
