Recruitee incident

Delayed email delivery to Gmail recipients

Resolved after 19 hours 36 minutes, affecting Recruitee Mail Connector, on May 19, 2026.

identified May 19, 2026, 03:28 PM UTC

We identified an issue affecting email delivery to some Gmail recipients. A recent update to our email sending configuration resulted in temporary rate limiting by Gmail for messages sent from our domain. We are actively working with our email provider to restore normal delivery performance and gradually rebuild sender reputation. Emails are continuing to retry automatically, and while some messages may experience delays, most are expected to be delivered successfully.
