Hey There!

Hope you’re having a great year.

An important part of being a recruiter is communicating with candidates & clients effectively.

Email is still, by a wide margin, the best way to reach out to both prospective clients & candidates. Trillions of emails get sent every year, but most end up being ignored. To increase the chances of your emails getting replied to, you need great email subjects & messages. Which is why we have drafted some awesome free email templates for Recruitment Consultants to use!
