A recruiting outreach agent that personalizes every candidate email and chases the replies
Every candidate gets a different opener, written and sent in small batches over the day, and the replies come back sorted.
Drop your sourced list in a Google Sheet. It writes a different opener for each person, sends in small batches over the day and sorts the responses for you.
Sourcing 120 candidates is the easy part. The job is reaching them one person at a time.
You pull a list off LinkedIn Recruiter or a Boolean scrape and drop the names and emails into a sheet. Then you hit the actual bottleneck: writing 80 messages that don't read like a template. Recruiters who get 30% reply rates mention the candidate's current company, their stack, the open-source repo they maintain. The ones who get 4% paste the same 'exciting opportunity at a fast-growing startup' into every box.
The agent reads your sheet row by row. For each candidate it can do a quick web read on their current role or a recent post, then draft an opener that names something specific: the migration they led, the conference talk, the five years at one place that might have them itchy. You approve a sample. It sends the rest in staggered batches across the day so your domain doesn't trip Google's spam heuristics.
What it handles end to end:
- Reads candidate rows from a Google Sheet (name, current company, role, email, any notes you added)
- Writes a personalized opener for each row, well beyond a mail-merge with a {first name} token
- Sends in small staggered batches, up to around 100 a day, spread out across the day
- Triages every reply into interested, not now, not interested or referral, and tells you who's hot
- Logs each candidate and the thread into your CRM so a second recruiter doesn't double-touch them
It drafts, and you can require approval on the first batch. After that it runs the long boring middle of the campaign: the follow-ups, the reply sorting, the 'who went quiet' list. Your time goes to the candidates who actually wrote back. It sends email at a human pace and never poses as a person placing calls.

Frequently asked questions
Does it just mail-merge a template with the name swapped?
No. It reads each row and, where useful, does a quick web read on the candidate's current role or a recent post. Then it writes an opener around something real, like the team they're on, a talk they gave or how long they've been somewhere. You see the first few before anything sends.
Will sending 80 cold emails get my domain flagged?
That's why it staggers. It sends small batches spread across the day, up to roughly 100 daily. The slower pace is deliberate. It keeps you out of spam and gives you time to read the early replies.
Can I approve emails before they go out?
Yes. The normal flow: it drafts a sample batch, you read it and adjust the voice, then it sends. Keep approval on for the whole campaign or let it run once you trust the output.
What happens when candidates reply?
It triages them. Interested candidates get flagged and can go straight to booking a call. 'Not now' people get a follow-up scheduled, and referrals become new leads. Each day you get a short readout of who moved.
Does it work with LinkedIn Recruiter?
It works off the export. LinkedIn doesn't allow third-party automated messaging, so the agent runs the email side. You source and export in Recruiter, drop the list in a sheet, and it handles the outreach and reply sorting from there.
How much does it cost?
Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. It's a hosted agent, so there's nothing to install. Setup takes about four minutes, and it's in public beta right now.
