If you mean sending/receiving applicant emails for an ATS or hiring workflow, a good default choice is:
Best general-purpose option: SendGrid
- Reliable email delivery
- Easy to integrate via API
- Good for transactional emails like application receipts, interview invites, status updates
- Scales well as volume grows
Other solid options
- Amazon SES: cheapest at scale, but a bit more setup/ops overhead
- Mailgun: developer-friendly and flexible
- Postmark: excellent for transactional email, strong deliverability, usually a bit pricier
- Google Workspace / Microsoft 365: best if you need a shared inbox for recruiters to reply to applicants manually
Quick recommendation
- For automated applicant emails: SendGrid or Postmark
- For lowest cost at scale: Amazon SES
- For a recruiter inbox: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
If you tell me:
- approximate email volume,
- whether these are automated notifications or a human-managed inbox, and
- what platform you’re using,
I can recommend the best provider more precisely.
