Subject: Seeking Software for Automated Outreach
As a recruiter, my initial task often involves identifying the ideal talent for available positions and reaching out to them via LinkedIn messages. However, I’ve noticed that the response rate to these messages tends to be quite low. To enhance my outreach efforts, I’m considering automating the initial phase. My idea is to automatically identify suitable candidates based on a job description and send them a pre-written message.
I’d like to engage with candidates only once they respond. Does anyone know of any software that can help me with this? Thank you!

Automating the recruitment outreach process can definitely help streamline your efforts and increase your efficiency. While there are several tools available that focus on automating the candidate sourcing and outreach process, it’s important to ensure that the use of automation doesn’t compromise the personal touch that can make a difference in recruiting.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator: While not a fully automated solution, Sales Navigator allows recruiters to use sophisticated search filters to find candidates that match specific job descriptions. You can also save leads and track interactions.
Dux-Soup: This is a browser extension that can automate LinkedIn activities, such as profile visits, connection requests, and messages. You can customize messages and set up automated follow-ups.
Octopus CRM: Similar to Dux-Soup, Octopus CRM allows you to automate outreach on LinkedIn, including sending connection requests and messages based on specific criteria.
Phantombuster: This tool allows you to create LinkedIn automation scripts and can be used for scraping profiles, sending connection requests, and messaging.
Zopto: A cloud-based software designed for LinkedIn lead generation that automates the outreach process while allowing personalized messaging.
Hiretual (now HireEZ): A sourcing tool that helps you find candidates based on job descriptions and allows for outreach through various channels, although it may require manual tweaks for personal touches.
Lemlist: Although primarily an email outreach tool, it can also be used to send personalized messages to LinkedIn connections you’ve established.
Keep in mind that LinkedIn has strict measures against automation that violates their terms of service, so use these tools wisely and ensure that you remain compliant. Additionally, consider segmenting your outreach to improve engagement rates and tailoring your messages to make them more appealing to potential candidates.
