Why Can't I Use Gmail to Sign Up

100Hires requires a corporate email address (like yourname@yourcompany.com) for registration. Free email services like Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, and others are not accepted during signup.

Why corporate email is required

Prevents abuse: Historically, many people signed up by mistake looking for jobs instead of posting them. Free email accounts were used to create multiple spam accounts.

Professional appearance: When you send emails to candidates from 100Hires, your corporate domain appears more professional and trustworthy than a free email address.

Company verification: Corporate email helps verify that you represent a legitimate business.

What if I use Gmail for hiring?

If you genuinely use a free email address for your hiring activities:

1. Contact support@100hires.com
2. Explain your situation
3. We can manually create an account for you

However, we strongly recommend setting up Google Workspace for your domain. It provides:

• Professional email addresses on your domain
• Better email deliverability
• Calendar integration
• Improved credibility with candidates

How to Set Up Google Workspace

1. Go to the Google Workspace website
2. Sign up and register your company domain
3. Set up email addresses for your team
4. Use your new corporate email to sign up for 100Hires

The setup process is straightforward and affordable, starting at a few dollars per user per month.
