April 07, 20251 min read

📬 Email Sequence Strategy

Original Plan

  • 12 emails sent weekly to nurture candidate relationships

Revised Plan

  • Email spacing: Every 2–3 weeks over 6 months

  • A mix of messaging types to maintain connection and value

Core Components

  1. Thank You Email – Immediate follow-up after initial contact

  2. Interest Email – Reinforce intent and highlight alignment

  3. Newsletters – Share company/industry updates

  4. Re-engagement Emails – Keep the line open and warm


✉️ Email Content and Structure

  • Length & Format: Short and punchy—3 to 6 sentences. Add HTML call-out boxes or graphics when relevant.

  • Candidate-First Focus: Prioritize the candidate’s needs and interests over company promotion.

  • Value-Added Resources: Include useful links—salary guides, blogs, success stories, company updates.

  • Human Element: Include quotes from placed candidates and personal success stories.

  • Engagement Boosters: “Did you know?” sections to share interesting company facts or insights.


💡 Content Brainstorm

Consider weaving these topics into future emails:

  • Company news and updates

  • Industry trends and data

  • Career development and job search tips

  • Interview preparation advice

  • Salary guides and market comparisons

  • Success stories from happy placements


✅ Next Steps

  • Adjust email timing to every 2–3 weeks

  • Finalize missing questions in Email 10

  • Revise current drafts to reflect new content ideas

  • Add quotes from successfully placed candidates

  • Continue emphasizing a candidate-first tone and structure

  • Use AI tools to assist in content generation and editing
