Learn how to build engaged talent pipelines and drive better hiring outcomes using email nurture campaigns. In this episode, I’m joined by TA Leader Brandon Jeffs. We discuss actionable strategies for recruiters and talent acquisition professionals to personalize their approach, streamline outreach, and create authentic connections with candidates.

Email is more than just a communication tool—it’s a powerful way to nurture candidates at every stage of the hiring funnel. Learn how to map the candidate journey, craft emails that get replies, and optimize your process to achieve incredible results.


What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • How to design email nurture campaigns that boost candidate engagement.
  • How to map the candidate journey and identify key touchpoints to nurture relationships.
  • Why candidate nurturing is more than a one-time activity—it’s a daily practice.
  • The role of authenticity in candidate engagement and how to make a lasting impression.

Brandon's Best Advice for Recruiters:

  • Write emails for an "audience of one" to create personalized, impactful outreach.
  • Leverage tools like email sequences and drip campaigns for targeted outreach.
  • Focus on high-quality candidates instead of quantity to optimize results.
  • Always add value—whether through advice, connections, or transparent communication.
