An independent recruiter — Minneapolis, MN
Automating outreach and sourcing for an independent recruiter
A 6% reply rate. Three hours a day on sourcing and notes. The tools were there — the workflow wasn’t.
What Was Being Lost
An independent recruiter in Minneapolis ran a tech recruiting practice, placing mid-level engineers and PMs. Their biggest problem: outreach at scale felt impersonal, and impersonal outreach didn’t convert. They were averaging a 6% reply rate on cold LinkedIn messages and spending 3+ hours a day on sourcing, screening notes, and candidate prep. They needed to work smarter without compromising the quality that made their boutique.
How It Was Built
Pulls 5 data points from a candidate’s LinkedIn (recent role, projects, location, interests, tenure) and writes a message that reads like they researched them specifically. Reply rate went from 6% to 19%.
Takes a job description and a candidate’s resume and produces a tailored prep brief — likely questions, red flags to address, and talking points — in 6 minutes. Used to take 45.
Automated follow-up sequences based on candidate stage. No one falls through the cracks. Their ghost rate dropped from 30% to 11%.
