Technical recruiter here.

Did you check DMRAC and all the other email settings?

Maybe your emails land in spam.

Or even quicker and better: If you have their resume, just call the (best) candidates.

If they were unsure whether to work for you, you might turn them around even. On the phone you can give them reasons why they should work for you and dissolve misunderstandings that they might have gotten via your website.

If you are hiring, the biggest ROI skill you need to acquire is LEARN TO LOVE THE PHONE.

You are right. Though when hiring remote, time zones might be an obstacle.
