Recruiting Templates

Outreach to candidates who are not actively job searching. Works best when you can identify something specific about their background that makes them a strong fit.

For sourcing engineers via GitHub contributions, open source work, or technical blog posts. Most effective recruiting email for technical candidates.

For VP and C-suite level hiring. These candidates receive many recruiting emails and respond only to highly personalized, specific outreach that references their actual work.

Asking your network, customers, or community for referrals. Often generates higher-quality candidates than direct sourcing.

Following up on a first recruiting outreach message that received no reply. Most candidates who do reply do so after a follow-up, not the first message.
