How can I tell if an applicant’s email address is real?
You can check to see if an email address is real and valid using any number of email validation services.
I recommend Email Checker – Verify Email Address Online (email-checker.net)
It is very straightforward to use. You just enter the email address in the text field and hit “Check”.
The results will come back as either “OK”
or “Bad”
It is also possible for an address to come back as “Unknown”, but that is less common.
This can be a useful tool when trying to determine why an applicant isn’t receiving emails.
