Candidate outreach sequencing for recruiters beyond InMail
Recruiters need a cheaper way to run multi-step candidate outreach.
Why it can work
- LinkedIn InMail response rates have fallen while costs rise.
- Recruiters report losing interested candidates to slow follow-ups.
- Some firms find Apollo too expensive for sequences.
Watch out
- Low response rates may persist regardless of channel.
- Buyers may already be locked into existing sequencing tools.
