Why Search Firms Use Us

Your search brief in, engaged candidates out

You tell us the exact candidate profile for your mandate: title, seniority, industry, and location. We scrape LinkedIn against that brief and run the outreach that turns it into confidential conversations with your next placement.

The Process

From search brief to engaged candidates, in 7 steps

This is the exact system behind the funnel above. No dashboard for you to log into, just new candidate conversations landing in your inbox.

01

Give us your search brief, we scrape LinkedIn against it

We start with a working session to define exactly who fits the mandate: title, seniority, industry background, and location. From there, we scrape LinkedIn and Sales Navigator against those filters to build your candidate pool.

  • Your ICP defined once, reused every month
  • Sales Navigator search filters built and saved
  • Raw prospect pool scraped and de-duplicated

We import and enrich every matching candidate

Every scraped profile is imported and enriched with firmographic and career data: current company, tenure, and career trajectory. This is what keeps your outreach specific instead of generic, even at volume.

  • Company and contact data enriched automatically
  • Duplicate and out-of-ICP profiles filtered out
  • Enriched list synced to your CRM if needed

Optional: we capture and verify email addresses too

If you want a combined LinkedIn and email motion, we run an automated email waterfall alongside enrichment: finding, matching, and verifying a work email for each prospect before it ever gets used in outreach.

  • Email discovery run automatically across multiple sources
  • Verification step removes invalid or risky addresses
  • Fully optional, toggle it on or off anytime

We write the message sequence in your voice

Our team writes the connection note and every follow-up in your firm's voice, framed as the confidential, discreet outreach candidates expect from a search firm. Nothing goes live until you have reviewed and approved it.

  • Multi-step sequence, not a single generic message
  • Written in your voice, reviewed before launch
  • Refined over time based on reply performance
SEQUENCE
Step 1 · Connection noteHi Helen, I'm working on a confidential CFO search in the industrials space and your background stood out. Open to connecting?
Step 2 · Day 2 follow-upThanks for connecting. To give context: this is a confidential retained search for a growing industrials company, happy to share more if it's of interest.
Step 3 · Day 6 follow-upCircling back in case this got buried. No pressure at all, but happy to share details if the timing or role is of interest.

Connection requests go out from your own LinkedIn account

Outreach runs every business day from your dedicated, warmed-up LinkedIn account, capped well within LinkedIn's safe activity thresholds, with human-like timing between actions.

  • Dedicated IP and account, fully yours
  • Daily volume capped and randomized
  • New accounts warmed up gradually first

The cadence runs automatically: connect, wait, follow up

Once a request is accepted, the sequence takes over on its own schedule. A short pause after each touch keeps the pacing human, and every follow-up only sends if the prospect has not already replied.

  • Automated wait periods between every message
  • Sequence stops the moment someone replies
  • Runs automatically, without you triggering anything

Replies land straight in your own LinkedIn inbox

There is no middleman inbox. Every reply arrives directly in your own LinkedIn account, in real time, the same as any other message you get. We monitor activity daily, sort intent, and flag engaged candidates, but you are always talking to them from your own inbox, not through a tool.

  • Replies arrive natively in your LinkedIn inbox
  • We monitor daily and flag warm intent for you
  • You respond directly, from your own account, no delay

FAQ

LinkedIn outreach for executive search firms, common questions

How does this help executive search firms source candidates?

We build a candidate list matching the search firm's exact criteria (title, seniority, industry, company size), then run personalized outreach from a dedicated LinkedIn account, so interested candidates reply directly to the firm's own inbox.

What results has this worked for an executive search firm?

One executive search firm using the service saw 460 connection requests sent from a single ICP-targeted campaign, sourcing passive candidates who were not actively applying elsewhere.

Does this replace our recruiters, or support them?

It supports them. Our team handles the prospecting, message writing, and daily sending; your recruiters focus on interviews and candidate relationships once a warm reply comes in.

Is outreach to passive candidates safe for the LinkedIn account?

Yes. Every account we manage runs within LinkedIn's safe daily activity limits, with new accounts warmed up gradually before scaling to full sourcing volume.

Ready to fill your next search mandate?

Every plan includes the full done-for-you service, running from your own dedicated LinkedIn account.
