Email Recruiting Strategy
Companies are often reluctant to use email recruiting campaigns due to several issues related to spam, security, or email readers that exclude images. In spite of these difficulties, there are several recruiting benefits that can come from a targeted email campaign.

Benefits to Performing a Targeted Email Campaign
A targeted email campaign utilizes the millions of candidate profiles and email addresses that are currently stored in an organization’s Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or an online job site’s resume database. Since candidates can be sorted by geography or job type, there is little to no extra work on your end other than deciding who you want to target with the email. Once you decide on this, you work to create a customized email message geared towards the candidates you want to attract and hire.
Capture More Passive Candidates
Companies lose nearly 90% of their career site visitors who leave without applying for any jobs – that’s a lot of missed opportunity! Why does this happen? The main problem is that employers force candidates through a 30 to 45 minute apply process as the only way for candidates to introduce themselves to their company. This typical strategy will scare away 99.9% of passive candidates for sure.
Targeted emails achieve exactly what you are searching for with your recruitment efforts. You receive the benefit of Job Postings in that your email reaches relevant candidates searching for a new job.
Creating a Targeted Email Campaign
To create the most effective targeted email message, work directly with your Ideal Candidate database or the online job site to decide exactly who it is you want to target. Once you know your target, customize a message to be sent to candidates. Below are several rules one should follow when creating the message for the email:
- Keep copy short and concise as long paragraphs prove intimidating and require too much of the recipient’s time
- Emails should be used to provoke curiosity about your openings
- Maximize “entry” opportunities by including a “hot link” to your site at the top and bottom of the email
- Include qualifiers in the copy to attract the right candidates and avoid irrelevant applications
- Avoid attention grabbing techniques as they can often result in the email triggering a SPAM filter
Adhering to these rules ensures you receive the best return on your recruitment effort and the best response rate from recipients. Once your message is ready, the job site emails it to your target audience where it lands in your target’s inbox.
