Cannot target a niche when you sell to recruitment agencies

Can you pull up only the dentists in one region in a few clicks? Here is how people who sell to recruitment agencies fix it.

Can you pull up only the dentists in one region in a few clicks?

A long list with every kind of business makes focused outreach hard. Filtering spreadsheets again for each campaign is tedious.

It hits harder when you sell 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.

You send the same message to very different businesses and it fits none of them well. Focused offers never get sent.

Named segments, ready for a campaign.

In Riftjaw every contact you add and every import goes into a segment with its own name, like Dentists Leeds. A campaign asks which segment to reach first. Next to segments there are saved filters, rules such as city contains Leeds, which a campaign can reach too.

  • Fields that fit recruitment agencies, such as sectors
  • Email prefixes that fit, like info@, jobs@, hello@ and careers@
  • Status, tags and a segment on every record

Other walls when prospecting recruitment agencies

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.

Sector recruiters need separate messages.

Tags per sector and one saved filter per tag keep every campaign relevant.

Fields worth recording for recruitment agencies

Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.

Questions people ask

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.

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

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.

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.
