Recruiting Email FAQs
Email has 3x higher response rates than InMail, no character limits, and reaches candidates who aren't active on LinkedIn. Our AI personalizes at scale while maintaining authenticity. Plus, you own the relationship - not LinkedIn.
Tuesday-Thursday, 10-11 AM or 2-3 PM in the candidate's timezone performs best. Avoid Mondays (inbox overload) and Fridays (weekend mode). For developers, evening emails (7-9 PM) often work better as they check personal email after work.
3-4 follow-ups maximize response rates without being pushy. Space them 3-4 days apart. Each should add value: share company news, similar role success stories, or address potential concerns. The final email should be a friendly "closing the loop" message.
