Tried something new for candidate outreach — surprisingly worked well
Not sure if anyone else has been struggling with getting qualified candidates lately,but for me the last few weeks were rough.
I was spending hours every day messaging people on LinkedIn, sending follow-ups, checking resumes, and still ending up with a lot of unqualified leads. Felt like 80% of my time was just admin work.
So I decided to experiment with a more automated approach, just to see what happens.
What I Did
I built a simple setup that:
- Sends personalized messages to candidates automatically
- Follows up if they don’t reply
- Checks if they match basic criteria (experience, location, etc.)
- And if they’re a fit, it just sends them a Calendly link to book a quick call
All I do now is upload a list of candidates once a day and check my inbox for booked calls.
The Result
I went from messaging around 100 people manually → to 500+ messages/day running automatically.And the best part — I’m now only speaking with people who are actually a match.
It freed up a few hours every day and I’ve already made a couple of placements from it.
Just Curious
Is anyone else here experimenting with some form of automation or smarter follow-up system?Would love to hear what’s working for you guys too.
If anyone’s interested, I can show a quick screenshot of how I set mine up (it’s super simple — nothing too techy).
