Talent Pool Nurture

Q: Can I customize the email templates and segmentation rules?

Yes, the automation uses your agency's segmentation criteria and email templates. You define the rules for role fit, seniority, and location, and the system applies them consistently across all outreach.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing CRM and email setup?

The automation integrates with HubSpot, Gmail, and Google Sheets. If you use other tools, the system can be configured to work with alternative CRM and email platforms through standard integrations.

Q: How does the system handle candidates who have already been contacted recently?

The automation tracks last contact date and engagement history for every candidate. It automatically excludes recently contacted candidates and focuses on those due for re-engagement based on your nurture schedule.

Q: What if a candidate needs special handling or a manual outreach?

The automation flags exceptions and high-priority candidates for manual review. Recruiters can override the system at any time to send custom outreach or adjust a candidate's nurture schedule.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Candidate Added to Pooltrigger

A candidate is tagged as 'In Talent Pool' or a scheduled nurture date arrives. The automation checks the candidate's profile and job history.

2. Segment by Role Fit

The automation reviews the candidate's skills, experience, and location against open and upcoming roles in the agency's pipeline. It assigns a nurture segment (e.g. 'Senior Finance', 'Mid-Level Tech').

3. Generate Personalised Email

The automation drafts a contextual outreach email using a template library, inserting the candidate's name, relevant role references, and recent market insights. The email is held for recruiter review.

4. Send

Once approved or auto-sent (based on rules), the email is delivered to the candidate. A tracking pixel logs the send time.

5. Monitor Engagement

The automation tracks email opens, clicks, and replies over 7 days. If the candidate replies, the message is flagged for recruiter action.

6. Update Candidate Status

Based on engagement (open, click, reply, or no response), the automation updates the candidate's status, sets the next nurture date, and logs the activity.

7. Notify Recruiter

A summary notification is sent with the candidate's name, engagement result, and recommended next step (e.g. 'Schedule call', 'Send role alert', 'Re-nurture in 30 days').
