Why Recruiters Should Stop Spamming and Start Targeting
Aug 21, 2025
Most hiring managers don’t care about your latest AI tools or automation stack.
What they really want is simple:
Messaging that doesn’t make them cringe.
If your emails, InMails, or cold calls sound like a pitch they’ve heard a hundred times this week, they’re tuning out.
And they should.
Most recruiters would actually do better by slowing down and narrowing in.
Instead of blasting 1,000 contacts with the same message, try this:
-
Pick one target account per day
-
Research the hiring gaps, recent activity, and org structure
-
Reach out on LinkedIn
-
Follow up with a short email
-
Drop in a personal call or even mail a physical card
No templates. No generic offers. Just one focused message built around one specific company.
You’ll burn fewer leads.
You’ll stand out more.
And you’ll get better responses.
Because hiring managers don’t want volume.
They want relevance.
And when your message shows that you’ve done the work, they’re more likely to reply.
