Referral Introduction:● Naukri has a referral tool for companies● Recruiters create referrals to which employees invite applications

from their friends through social networks● Applicants apply to an email like w718-920@referralrecruit.com

So how do we intercept the email sent to this non-existent email id and get to know which employee referred this applicant?

Here comes the role of Angle,

How to make it work?

1. Generate a reply-to email address consisting of employeeid, jobid and any other information to identify the context. e.g: <employeeid><jobid>rf@referralrecruit.com2. Set the email as reply to address to the mail sent to employees3. When employees reply to the email with referral CV, the reply content along with attachments is forwarded to the API specified by referral application4. The referral application identifies the employeeid and jobid from the email address and creates referral

REFERRAL

Referral requestCreates unique reply address for each employee and jobs
