- Description: Use a reusable, personalized reply to acknowledge the application and explain that it will be reviewed through the normal process, so candidates don't need to resend it. Save the wording as a shortcut, and avoid promising a timeline or outcome.

When the same resume arrives through an application portal, email, and LinkedIn, the hiring manager has to reconcile duplicate messages before responding. A hiring manager described that exact frustration in a [Bluesky post](https://bsky.app/profile/paix120.bsky.social/post/3mrapc7wqp22f?ref=typerelay.com).

Create one short reply for this situation, then personalize the candidate's name and next step. For example: "Thanks for your interest in \[role\]. We received your application and will review it through our application process. You don't need to send it again through other channels."

Save the wording as a shortcut in Typerelay, then insert it wherever you reply. Keep it warm and factual; don't imply a timeline or outcome you can't promise. If multiple people handle hiring, a [shared snippet library](https://typerelay.com/blog/text-expander-for-team-what-to-look-for-before-you-share-snippets/) can keep the approved reply consistent.
