Leads spread over spreadsheets when you sell to recruitment agencies
Are your leads spread over five spreadsheets? Here is how people who sell to recruitment agencies fix it.
Are your leads spread over five spreadsheets?
One list sits in a scraper export, another in an old Excel file and a third in a shared sheet that someone renamed. Each file has different columns and nobody knows which version is current.
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 spend time looking for the right file instead of contacting companies. Good prospects get lost between versions and are never approached.
Every list in one database, on your own server.
Riftjaw imports CSV and Excel files from any source into one lead database of your own. You map every column to a field once, and unknown columns become new fields. After that every company has one record with one status.
- 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
How to fix it in Riftjaw
- Import your files. Upload each CSV or Excel file and pick an existing lead file or create a new one.
- Map the columns. Match every column to a field; columns you do not recognise become new fields.
- Publish the records. Review the concept records, then publish them into your database.
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
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for recruitment agencies.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Sectors | Tech, healthcare or industrial recruiters need different tools. |
| Consultants | The number of desks shows how many seats a tool could fill. |
| Permanent or temporary | Temp agencies need payroll and compliance support. |
| Recruitment software | Their current system matters for any switch. |
| Director | The person who signs off on tools and suppliers. |
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.
