Hey {{first_name}}

Hey {{first_name}},

I hope this email finds you well. We had reached out a while back regarding opportunities with a well-known technology company. Obviously things continue to go well at [[company name]], but your name resurfaced in regards to a specific opportunity in which I thought might be of interest.

They have a strong track record with candidates that come from a similar background. I thought it made sense to reconnect given the specific nature of the search as we approach bonus season.

If you are interested in a chat to learn more, please let me know when would be a convenient time for you. Thank you again for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

[[signature]]

Name the company, the role, and at least a salary bracket in the first two lines. Passive candidates need to know immediately whether it's worth their time. Then add one specific reason you think they're a fit: a skill, a project, or a career pattern from their profile. A passive candidate email template that opens with "exciting opportunity at a fast-growing company" gets archived instantly because it says nothing specific.

No. Include the three most compelling aspects of the role (compensation, team, mission, tech stack, or growth opportunity) and link to the full description. Focus on selling the conversation, not the job. If the candidate is interested enough to reply, they'll read the full posting.

Be straightforward but respectful. Acknowledge their current company ("I know [Company] does strong work in [area]") and frame the opportunity as something different, not better: "This role focuses on [specific differentiator]. Thought it might be interesting given your background in [their specialty]." Never criticize their current employer in a competitive recruiting email. It backfires.

Take them at their word. Add them to a structured pipeline and re-engage in 3-6 months with a personal note. Reference their original response and any updates to the role or company. Candidates who say "not now" are giving you explicit permission to build a long-term relationship.

61% of decision makers cite irrelevance as a key reason cold emails fail, according to Hunter's State of Email Outreach report. For recruiting emails, irrelevance means emailing a backend engineer about a frontend role, or sending a generic pitch to someone whose skills don't match. The recruiting email reply rate improves dramatically when each message proves you've read the candidate's profile and matched them to the role deliberately.
