Why does it matter?

Waiting for the perfect candidate to apply can take a very long time and might even never materialize. By reaching out to your network, you will greatly reduce the time it takes to hire and increase overall candidate quality.

When to send?

You can send this email to any interesting candidate before or after the job goes live on job boards. You can also send it as soon as the need to hire arises if you feel strongly about the potential candidate and want to get a head start.

What to include?

• Your Name
• The Role 
• Brief Description of the Company and Role (if possible) 
• Call to Action
