A 20-person technology recruitment agency: 14 new client calls in the first eight weeks.

Two directors were doing new business in the evenings and had gone three months without adding a client.

What needed to change.

Their 20-person technology recruitment agency was busy delivering, with every consultant committed to filling roles. Prospecting depended on the directors finding time after the day's work, and nobody owned the top of the funnel. The agency needed client conversations to keep coming while its consultants stayed focused on delivery.

How we went after it.

We monitored live vacancies across the agency's four specialisms every day, then wrote to the hiring manager responsible for the role. The opening message was about the vacancy they needed to fill, giving the approach an immediate purpose. We sent one introduction email per company and handed the conversation to the consultant who would own the relationship. Email and LinkedIn supported the work, with the agency taking over when a buyer answered.

The illustrative opener below shows how we'd bring this approach into a buyer's inbox.

Subject: your data engineer role

Hi Nadia,

Your data engineer role has been open since the start of July, and the team it sits in has taken on three people this year. Normally that means the work is landing on someone already there.

We place data and analytics people across the North West, mostly through consultants who have worked in those teams themselves.

Worth a quick call about the role?

We stopped doing business development at nine at night. The strange part was having calls in the diary we hadn't chased.
