Selling their own specialist services to recruitment agencies

Recruitment agencies are sales driven businesses, from solo recruiters to firms with many desks per sector. Directors buy tools that help consultants fill roles faster, and they understand outbound selling better than most.

Freelancers usually find work through their network, job platforms and word of mouth, which makes income uneven. A small lead database of your own gives you a steady list of companies to approach when the pipeline runs dry.

Every month you do not reach recruitment agencies with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.

What freelancers run into with recruitment agencies

Outreach tools charge per credit or per seat, which is hard to justify on a freelance budget.

Riftjaw has no credits and a free plan to start, so you can build your first list without a card.

You forget who you emailed last month and risk writing to the same company twice.

Every contact has a status and a history of every mail, so you see at a glance who heard from you.

Jobs@ addresses fill up with candidate applications.

Tick info@ and hello@ as well and record which address brought a reply.

Agencies post many jobs, so the same agency appears again and again in scraped lists.

Duplicates are flagged on import against your key field, before anything is saved.

Questions people ask

How do I avoid the same agency appearing many times from job board data?

Choose the website or company name as the key field. Riftjaw flags duplicates in the file and against the database before you push the import.

Can I sell to recruiters and use Riftjaw as a recruiter myself?

Yes. Riftjaw is a general lead database. You can create separate lead files, or use the Agency plan with a workspace per client.

How do I get email addresses for recruitment agencies in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, jobs@, hello@ and careers@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
