Use these email templates to reach out to someone you'd want to have as a possible candidate, but only after you've carefully investigated them. Examine their professional and social media accounts and their digital portfolio or website.

It is critical to verify their preliminary credentials otherwise it would be a waste of both your and their time to request an application from someone to whom you won't even grant a phone screen interview. Make a list of personal information you may include in your email, as personalization is essential for persuading the individual to apply.

Recruiter Introduction to Candidates Email Template Checklist:

  • This email template can be used to reach out to potential applicants for the first time about available positions at your organization. This counts as a cold recruitment email.
  • The email should include how you found the candidate and the personal details you observed to build a strong relationship with the candidate.
  • The email should consist of the position you want them to apply for. Tell them what the job is in the first two phrases. Also, don't forget to include why they'd be a good fit. Make them want to apply and sell them on their candidacy.
  • The email should contain the next step in the process. If you wish to organize a formal phone interview, give them a range of dates and times to choose from.
