Afternoon John
From working in the IT Recruitment sector, one thing I have learnt is that there doesn't seem to be a right or wrong way to contact potential clients.
Sometimes I call and people can’t talk because they are in the middle of a software drop and they tell me to email. Sometimes I email and people complain that it is a very impersonal approach!
Over the years I have analysed and discussed with other Recruiters what I think is the most effective approach and what I’ve actually concluded is this;
Phone – Email – LinkedIn – Facebook – Text message – Pigeon courier - it is actually completely irrelevant, what it all boils down to is timing.
The very fact that I am writing to you now is because I know that you are the type of client that my exclusive candidates would be interested in working for.
You could be sitting there at your desk completely happy with your team and projects and not looking to add extra staff. OR, you might be looking to recruit a contractor to start on Monday, or you may have been struggling to receive high quality candidates from your current suppliers and be looking to expand the search. If it’s the latter, I can help.
How was my timing?
Kind Regards,
