Cold Email Templates for Recruiters

Candidates are tired of LinkedIn InMails. Clients are tired of generic contingency offers. Use this infrastructure-first approach to stand out.

Why Most Fail

✖LinkedIn limits (100 connection requests/week)
✖Low response rates on InMail
✖Ghosting from candidates

The Strategy Angle

The 'Exclusive Talent' Angle

Subject Line

Developer for {{company_name}}?

Email Body

Hi {{first_name}},

I noticed you're scaling the engineering team at {{company_name}}.

I have a Senior React dev who just exited a fintech unicorn and is looking for a role exactly like yours. He's not on the open market yet.

Mind if I send over his blinded profile?

Best,
[Your Name]

Why This Works

Recruitment is a marketplace. This email offers inventory (the candidate) upfront. It's high value, low friction, and bypasses the 'sales' filter because it feels like a transaction offer.

Need to send 1,000 of these per day?

You can't doing it from your main inbox. We build the infrastructure to scale this script safely.
