Regardless of your level of interest, what are the most important pieces of information that an in-
house corporate recruiter or a headhunter for a search and staffing firm should include in their
initial message to you?
The role’s responsibilities
Projected salary range
Why you’re reaching
out to them specifically
The company’s culture
64%
U.S. and Canada
Global
69%
72%

What to write: What candidates want to know when
you first reach out to them
What talent wants to know first: U.S. and Canada vs. Global
Make it personal. What makes them stand out?
Don’t include the job description – rather how
the role is more impactful and the growth
opportunity. Give them some “sizzle!!”
Hold off. Ask to have a conversation first. If the
job doesn’t represent a career move, the
compensation doesn’t matter.
Including the company culture will help sell the
role – and allow the candidate to determine if it’s
a good fit from the start.
What to say: Convert more passive candidates
into placements
Know what matters to candidates as they consider a job offer from your client
