Hi all—I've been struggling to find businesses that are actually in need of a recruitment firm, a lot of businesses I've been reaching out to either aren't looking for any staff atm or have an in house team. and I know this is an issue that people in this group have also been facing. I spent some time working through it last week, and now I have a way to scrape LinkedIn job posts, get the ceo's email of the company that posted it, generate an icebreaker that I can use for my outreach, than add it to my database + my email campaign. Now I know that the people I'm reaching out to are actively searching for new hires, heres how I solved it for less than $20/m: 1. Use make.com to automate the whole process, you can set the automation to happen once per week. So once a week, you get a whole new batch of leads that are all searching for postitions. 2. Setup Apify, and Any mail finder. Apify is what you will use to get all of the data from the job posts, anymail finder will let you find the decision makers email. 3. Make an account with perplexity, I've seen some posts in this group about perplexity so hopefully you already have one setup, but if not its pretty simple to do so. From there you will have to get a perplexity API key, thats how you can connect it to make.com. Perplexity will do research on the company for you and give you an icebreaker so when you send them an email it feels like you have done hours of research. 4. Connect it to your database, this could be a googlesheet or a crm that you are already using. Now, once a week this system that you've made will scrape linkedin for job postings, find you the CEOs email, generate you an icebreaker and add all of this information to your email campaigns and databases. If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps you 🙏

Good morning/afternoon everyone. Curious who's in here running a recruiting practice focusing on tech startups.

I’ve been wondering about automation in recruiting. On one hand, it could take some load off in things like: - Moving candidates through stages & sending emails automatically - Finding job posts and the right decision makers - Formatting CVs - Summarizing daily emails But I’ve also heard it can make things less personal or create extra mess to clean up. For those recruiting regularly: - What would you automate? - What would you keep manual? - Is it worth paying for, or just a nice idea? Genuinely curious where everyone stands on this, Thank you

Hi, What key elements should be included in an introductory email to clients when aiming to secure a recruitment contract? Should the focus be solely on asking about their current vacancies or recruitment needs, or is it advisable to also include our rates and terms of service in the initial outreach?
