How DEFEND writes its people's work addresses, read from addresses an email verifier confirmed.

The format, on a made-up name

jane.doe@defend.co.nz

DEFEND writes addresses as first name, a dot, then last name, at defend.co.nz. Jane Doe isn't a real person: put in the name of the one you want to reach.

Writing to someone at DEFEND

  1. Find the person

    For a role, that's the hiring manager or whoever leads the team. The posting, DEFEND's team page or LinkedIn usually names them.

  2. Write their name as DEFEND does

    Lowercase, with accents dropped: Jane Doe is jane.doe@defend.co.nz, and Zoë Núñez would be zoe.nunez@defend.co.nz.

  3. Check it before you send

    An email verifier tells you whether the mailbox exists without sending anything. A bounce costs more than the check: too many and your emails start landing in spam.
