Why Recruitment & HR teams use Kerna

Candidate rejection emails are time-consuming and emotionally fraught — but bad rejections hurt your employer brand

Interview scheduling generates dozens of nearly-identical emails per role

Multilingual candidate pools stretch HR staff who may speak only one language

Offer letters need careful phrasing — small errors create real legal risk

Onboarding emails set the tone for the new hire experience

Internal communications (policy updates, benefits reminders) feel templated and get ignored

Frequently asked questions

Is candidate data protected appropriately?

Kerna processes email content in real time without persistent storage. Candidate names, salary expectations, and personal details remain inside Gmail. Critical for GDPR compliance in recruitment.

Can it generate offer letters?

Kerna drafts offer letter emails. The legally binding contract document itself should go through your standard HR document workflow with legal review. Kerna helps with the surrounding correspondence.

How does it help with diversity-sensitive communication?

Tone selection matters — diplomatic for difficult conversations, empathetic for sensitive feedback. Review each draft for inclusion language; Kerna gives you a strong starting point that you refine for your specific candidate pool.

Can different recruiters share templates?

Yes. Business plan and above support team-shared templates. Recruiters maintain a consistent employer voice while still personalising individual candidate communications.
