At StaffGrabbers, we’re not afraid to make a bold promise: we’ll help you recruit the best talent from your direct competitors, industry peers, or companies of your choosing. We’re confident in our ability to deliver on this promise because we uphold the highest quality operations possible.
From sourcing candidates and messaging them to prepping for interviews and providing an outstanding candidate experience, we leave no stone unturned. We know that when candidates have a positive interview experience, they’re more likely to accept your offer when you choose to hire them.
One way we improve the candidate experience is by sending detailed follow-up emails. Instead of just providing a basic job description, we provide added context like videos on the product, the company’s history, links to team members, and updates on major company news or awards. This helps our candidates come to the interview well-prepared and more knowledgeable about your business.
Here are three examples of follow-up emails we send:
Sample 1 – Kindertales
Subject: Kindertales – Senior Product Manager – 100% Remote
Hey Tara,
It was great chatting with you earlier. Here’s more info about the role at Kindertales.
I’m working directly with Jesse, the VP who joined from Apple a few years back. Kindertales is a 40-person company that specializes in early childhood care software. The whole team works remotely, and recently they received significant investment from a group of private investors who own a large network of childcare facilities. The investors’ plan is to incorporate Kindertales into their operations for cost savings, while also expanding it as a standalone software product. Right now, they have 90 clients, and based on their current pipeline, they expect to double or triple in size within the next year.
Initially, you’ll join as an individual contributor, but within about six months, you’ll have the opportunity to build and lead a team. They’re planning to expand their operations in Australia and Western Europe, in addition to growing in North America.
The position is fully remote, and the team gets together for an outing once every quarter. There’s also a chance for some light travel to Australia or Western Europe if you’re interested.
Are you interested in meeting with Jesse, the VP, to learn more?
Let me know if you have any questions!
