Good day to you, fellow colleagues!
Recruiters are among our dearest clients, at Closely. We are hunting talents ourselves as well, and are always on the lookout for fresh hacks on how to build effective hiring pipelines.
So we know it — how hard it’s to define what messages can truly hook in best-fit candidates. That is always a question. And when you’re out of sorts, it’s hard to glue things together and catch that inspiration. Luckily, there are proven message templates that can’t fail you.
No need to reinvent the wheel — just take what we’ve created and adopt to your unique cases.
Lucky Hunting!
