The Recruiter's Follow-Up Problem
Candidates Go Silent
A-players are in multiple processes. Without timely follow-up on applications and offers, candidates go with the company that responded fastest — not the best fit.
Hiring Manager Bottlenecks
Feedback requests and scheduling coordination get buried in hiring managers' inboxes. Without a system, days turn into weeks and candidates accept other offers.
References Don't Respond
Reaching out to references is notoriously slow. Multiple follow-ups are required, but manually tracking who responded and who didn't across 20+ candidates is impossible.
How Nudge Works for Recruiters
Candidate Outreach Sequences
Send the initial outreach, then set 2-3 automated follow-ups spaced over days. Stay in front of passive candidates without manual tracking.
Interview Scheduling Follow-Up
Send the scheduling request, then nudge automatically if no response. Reduce scheduling delays and keep candidates moving through the funnel.
Hiring Manager Coordination
Request feedback and decisions from hiring managers with automated nudges. Keep the process moving without awkward manual reminders.
Reference Check Outreach
Send the reference request, then automatically follow up until you hear back. Get references completed faster and close candidates sooner.
Personalized Every Time
Every nudge can be individually edited before sending — so candidate follow-ups feel personal and thoughtful, not templated.
Auto-Stop on Reply
When a candidate or hiring manager replies, nudges stop automatically. No awkward double follow-ups mid-conversation.
