Recruitment

Cold email for recruitment and headhunting

Reach companies that are actively hiring — before they post the job listing.

The challenge

In recruitment there are two sales: winning the client and finding the candidate. For both, timing is everything. If you contact a company when they already have 3 external recruiters, you're late. If you reach out to a passive candidate with a generic message, they ignore you. Cold email gives you speed and scale, but only if it's relevant.

Common pain points

How we solve it

Tailor Lead detects companies that are actively hiring (from job postings, recent expansion, or funding rounds) and writes emails that demonstrate you understand their specific hiring situation. For candidate sourcing, it personalizes each message based on the professional profile, current company, and potential motivations for change.
