There are several ways to share your Floats with candidates. Choose the method that best fits your outreach strategy and audience size.
Quick Comparison

Sharing Methods
When to use: For targeted outreach to 1-10 people. Ideal for sharing via LinkedIn messages, Slack, Teams, or SMS.
Steps
- Create the Float
- Click the "Share Float" button
- Select Recipient from the dropdown list or type their email to add a new contact and click Next
- Click "Copy share link" for a selected recipient and paste it into a message to them (e.g., LinkedIn message, SMS)
Tracking
- In your Float details you will see each Recipient that you created a link for
- The Views count shows how many times the recipient has viewed the Float page
- Clicksshows how many times they have clicked "I'm Interested" or "Ask a question" buttons
- In the Activity section and app notifications, you will see how long they viewed the Float for
- If the Recipient is a JobAdder contact, a note will be added to their Notes in JobAdder
Tip: You can add a new contact without knowing their email by adding a placeholder email address. The link will still track any Float views against their name and you can follow up via other contact methods like LinkedIn.
When to use: For targeted outreach to 1-30 people. Good for getting attention with images and styled content in the email.
Note: Deliverability can be affected by spam filters not liking images.

* Email opens are difficult to track accurately. Some email providers block open tracking and others generate false positives using bots and scanners.
When to use: For larger email campaigns to 10-200 people. Also useful for targeted groups within JobAdder (e.g., via JobAdder Folders).
Good deliverability as email is text only. Less attention-grabbing content, so the subject and first line are more important for getting attention.
