  • Make sure the recruiter's email address is unique within the UDF:
    • Admin Center-> Employee Export, in the csv file, filter email column with the affected email address to make sure only one employee using this email address.
    • If two or more users have the same email address attached to them, but have a different locale, it can cause emails to be sent in the wrong locale or in both locales.
