More often than not, the hiring process can be a long and windy road and sometimes takes longer than initially intended.\n\nThat&#8217;s where this email template for reaching out to candidates can come in handy.\n<h2>What\u2019s included in this passive candidate email template?<\/h2>\nYou can edit this cold recruiting email template to replace the key information about your company and the position. The sections are highlighted in yellow, so you can easily edit these sections for each candidate.\n\nWhile you can use this template for emailing potential candidates for a job opportunity, it can be reused when reaching out to a prospective candidate through other digital channels such as LinkedIn and other social media channels.\n\nThe passive candidate recruitment email template includes;\n<ul>\n \t<li>An introduction email to passive candidates<\/li>\n \t<li>A context for the email<\/li>\n \t<li>An introduction to the role<\/li>\n \t<li>An introduction to the company<\/li>\n \t<li>Notes on next steps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHere&#8217;s a preview of the template;\n\n<em>Hi <\/em><strong><em>[passive candidate\u2019s name]<\/em><\/strong><em>,\u00a0<\/em>\n\n<em>I hope you\u2019re well and having a great week.<\/em>\n\n<em>\u00a0I\u2019m <\/em><strong><em>[your first name]<\/em><\/strong><em> and I\u2019m the <\/em><strong><em>[your job title here]<\/em><\/strong><em> at <\/em><strong><em>[company name]<\/em><\/strong><em>.

Now you have a connection with that person, and that person has an awareness of your business and the fact that you\u2019re growing.\n\nThis could lead them to contact you about further opportunities down the track, or put you in touch with someone from their network who may be interested in opportunities.\n\nSo, if you\u2019re generating steady response rates, having some good conversations and growing your network, you should consider your passive candidate email strategy a success.

Generally, a hiring manager or talent acquisition team has identified this person as a good fit for a role and is willing to make the person a competitive offer to win them over.\n\nThe process of pursuing passive candidates is also known as \u2018cold recruitment\u2019. Passive outreach emails are also known as \u2018cold emails\u2019.\n\nThe cold recruitment of passive candidates can be a hiring manager\u2019s best friend, especially in a competitive talent market. It\u2019s an especially useful tool to use to recruit an employee with specialist skills in a tough recruitment market. Passive outreach emails are not generally used to seek candidates for junior roles.\n\nLooking to attract junior candidates to a role, or have a role that doesn\u2019t require specialist skills? Download our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/ideal-job-ad-template\/\">ideal job ad template<\/a> to give your advertisement broad appeal.\n\nPassive candidates can be a great addition to your team, as they often bring skills and experience to the table. They can also be efficient hires, as their experience has already been recognised as valuable prior to the recruitment process. It\u2019s a win-win for your team and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/recruitment-costs\/\">recruitment costs<\/a>.\n\nHiring managers can reach out to potential candidates through networking, an <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/employee-referral-program\/\">employee referral program<\/a>, or by using a recruitment agency.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_5003\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5003\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5003\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/passive-candidate-email-template-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"man sending emails on his laptop\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5003\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Struggling to find staff? A passive candidate email could be the answer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How should you reach out to a passive candidate?<\/h2>\nWhen reaching out to a passive candidate, it is important to sell them on the opportunity and explain why your company would be a good fit for them. Remember, they already have a job that they may be perfectly satisfied with. Their livelihood doesn\u2019t rely on any new opportunities and they are likely in demand candidates for many roles.\n\nThis is why including some details of your company, company culture and employee perks is important while sending a cold recruiting email.\n\nWe&#8217;ve included this in our email template, along with other pieces of information to entice potential candidates to take it to the next step in the recruiting process.\n\nLooking to impress your new candidate beyond the initial email stages? Learn more about what makes a great candidate experience with our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/candidate-experience-checklist\/\">candidate experience checklist<\/a>.\n<h2>Key information to include in your outreach email<\/h2>\nWhat\u2019s the key information that makes up a great passive candidate email? Aside from the helpful information inside our cold recruiting email template, here are some other things savvy recruiters will consider.\n<h3>An attention-grabbing subject line<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s an art to writing a great email subject line.\n\nYour subject line is the most important part of your email. Without an effective one, there\u2019s a good chance that your email won\u2019t be read, let alone responded to.\n\nYour subject line needs to be clear and concise, but also compelling enough to make the person click. While there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all subject line that will always see success, there are definitely a few things that you can try to make your subject line more attention-grabbing.\n<h4>Personalise<\/h4>\nThe more a person feels like a message is tailored to them, the more likely they are to engage with it. If you can convey to the reader that you\u2019ve done your research on them and you know they would be a good fit for the role, that\u2019s going to make them more interested in what you have to say.\n\nThe most obvious way to personalise a message to them would be to use their name in your subject lines, but you could also call out their experience.\n\n<strong>For example;<\/strong>\n\nSubject Line:<em> \u201cIsabelle, you\u2019re a great fit for this new opportunity.\u201d<\/em>\n\nSubject Line:<em> \u201cIsabelle, when are you free for a confidential conversation about a new role?\u201d<\/em>\n<h4>Consider using the company name<\/h4>\nWould the candidate have heard of your business? If you\u2019ve been getting some attention lately in employee networks through <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/employer-branding\/\">employer branding<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/recruitment-marketing-strategies\/\">recruitment marketing<\/a>, you may be in a good position to use the company name in your subject line.\n\n<strong>For example:<\/strong>\n\nSubject Line:<em> \u201cAre you interested in speaking about an opportunity with 91±¬ΑΟ?\u201d<\/em>\n\nSubject Line:<em> \u201c91±¬ΑΟ has a job opportunity I think would be perfect for you.\u201d<\/em>\n\nIf the candidate is not likely to have heard of your business, consider going with something more generic, personalised or focused on the role for your subject lines.\n<h4>Put the role front and centre<\/h4>\nAnother great subject line strategy is to use the role itself as a sell. This also gives the candidate a better understanding of what you\u2019re looking for from the outset, which may make them more interested in learning more.\n\n<strong>For example:<\/strong>\n\nSubject Line:<em> \u201cWould you like to discuss a new Content Marketing Manager opportunity?\u201d<\/em>\n\nSubject Line:<em> \u201cWe have a great new Content Marketing Manager opportunity for you.\u201d<\/em>\n<h4>Combine tactics!<\/h4>\nOf course, you can use one or more of these ideas for your subject lines.\n\n<strong>For example:<\/strong>\n\nSubject Line:<em> \u201cIsabelle, we have a great new Content Marketing Manager opportunity at 91±¬ΑΟ.\u201d<\/em>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5002\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/passive-candidate-email-template-3-1024x683.png\" alt=\"List of passive candidate email subject lines\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/>\n<h3>Relevant job title<\/h3>\nBefore you send your passive candidate outreach email, consider your job title.\n\nThe job title is the first thing that passive candidates will look at, and arguably the most important part of the email. Just those few words have all the power to make them want to learn more or continue to scroll past.\n\nFor this reason, your job title should be clear and if possible, use industry standard terms to describe the level of the role within the business (e.g. Coordinator, Manager, Director\u2026).\n\nYou should also steer clear from adding jargon. Words like \u2018ninja\u2019, \u2018guru\u2019, and \u2018superstar\u2019 are gimmicky and might send your email straight to someone\u2019s trash folder.\n\nLooking for more details on how you can optimise your job titles and your whole recruitment process? Download our free <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/recruitment-process-guide\/\">Employee Recruitment Guide<\/a>.\n<h3>Up-to-date job description<\/h3>\nWhile you\u2019ll only be including a snippet of your job description in your passive outreach email, you want to make sure that you link to a current version of your job description &#8211; or be ready to send one when you hear back from your candidate.\n\nA job description or position description (JD or PD) should be a comprehensive document that gives your incoming job seekers a deeper understanding of the role they are applying for.\n\nThe last thing you want is for a candidate to show interest in the role, but you don\u2019t yet have a current job description to share with them. Making them wait for you to create one could see them lose interest in the opportunity.\n\nWant to write the perfect job description for your role? <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/job-description-template\/\">Use our standout job description template<\/a>.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_5001\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5001\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5001\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/passive-candidate-email-template-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"woman sending emails on the couch, a puppy by her side\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5001\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Subject line? Check. Job title? Check. Job description? Check. Puppy? Check.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Next steps to take with a passive candidate<\/h2>\nSo the candidate has responded to your email or message, congratulations! You\u2019ve likely gotten one of two responses, let\u2019s talk through how to respond to them both.\n<h3>A polite decline<\/h3>\nThe first would be a polite decline. They may have gotten back to you with something along the lines of;\n\n<em>\u201cThanks for reaching out, but I\u2019m not looking to pursue any opportunities at this time.\u201d<\/em>\n\nThis may feel discouraging, but even this response is a positive one. The candidate has recognised your email, becoming a contact and opening up the door to discussing future opportunities with your business.\n<h4>How to reply to a polite decline<\/h4>\nWith your follow up emails, we wouldn\u2019t recommend pushing the person any further to consider the opportunity. But, you can still respond in a way that will build further positive associations with you and your business.\n\nWe would recommend saying something similar to;\n\n<em>\u201cHi <\/em><strong><em>[candidate name]<\/em><\/strong><em>,<\/em><em>\n<\/em><em>\n<\/em><em>Thank you for taking the time to review this opportunity.\u00a0<\/em>\n\n<em>If you\u2019re looking for a new role at any point in the future, please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to me for a confidential discussion about your career goals.\u201d<\/em>\n\n<em>Thank you,<\/em>\n\n<strong><em>[Your name]<\/em><\/strong><em>\u201d<\/em>\n\nBy sending a polite reply that signals your interest in their ongoing career, the person is more likely to keep you front of mind whenever they are considering their next role. The last thing you want to do is not reply at all, or send a sharp and abrasive reply &#8211; effectively ending your relationship with the person and closing the door for them for any future conversations.\n<h3>An interested response<\/h3>\nThe second response you\u2019re likely to receive is an interested one, hooray! The candidate is happy to learn more about the role from you, and is on the way to becoming your next new hire.\n\nHowever, the next steps from here will still be a little different to your regular recruitment process.\n<h4>An introductory call<\/h4>\nFor those who are coming to your role through a job ad, they will already have some understanding of what you\u2019re looking for. With cold recruiting, it\u2019s your responsibility to get the person up-to-speed.\n\nA quick call with the candidate will give them the information they need to know about the role to make sure that they want to proceed. It will also give you as a hiring manager the chance to get to know the person better.\n\nThis quick call is not part of the interview process, so make sure it\u2019s more of a casual conversation rather than a drawn out question and answer session. This is also a key opportunity to sell the candidate on the role, so make sure you cover company culture, perks and salary expectations so everyone can be informed as you proceed.\n\nAssuming all goes well with the call, you can then enter the candidate into your <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/solutions\/recruitment-software\/\">recruitment software<\/a> and begin setting up formal interviews. You may at this point ask the candidate to supply their CV for you to keep on file.\n\n<strong>Download the template now.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column form-column
