What you need first
Provide:
- Job title and key requirements
- Ideal candidate profile (experience, skills, location)
- Company name and brief description
- Compensation range (if competitive)
- Any specific requirements (visa, certifications, etc.)
- Sourcing channels to prioritize
Mistakes to avoid
- Generic blast messages: Passive candidates ignore template-style outreach — personalize or don't send
- Wrong person, right skills: Contacting developers when looking for designers — double-check before reaching out
- Ignoring LinkedIn privacy settings: Some candidates have "Open to Work" disabled — respect their settings
- Not tracking source: Without attribution, you can't improve — always track where good candidates come from
- Following up once: Follow up 2-3 times before giving up — 60% of responses come from 2nd+ follow-up
