Follow-up #1 Individual Contributor Small Business
Follow-up #1 for Staffing & Recruitment
Targeting individual contributor at small business companies (1-50 employees).
Subject Line
That sourcing shortcut I mentioned
Email Template
{{first_name}}, I sent you a note last week about a sourcing approach that helps recruiters at small firms like {{company_name}} fill more roles with less manual searching. Wanted to make sure it did not get lost in your inbox.
The short version: one recruiter told me she went from spending 3 hours a day on sourcing to under 1 hour by setting up a simple automated search that runs overnight. She now starts each morning with a fresh shortlist.
Takes about 15 minutes to set up. Want me to walk you through it? 10-14% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Reference a specific hard-to-fill role they are working on right now
- Mention the sourcing platform they use most based on their activity
- Note their placement specialty and tailor the shortcut to that type of candidate
- If they recently asked for sourcing help in a LinkedIn group, reference that request
When to Use
Send 3-4 business days after the first email, making the value even more concrete and actionable.
When NOT to Use
When the recruiter recently changed jobs or roles, as they may be in onboarding mode and not focused on tool optimization.
