Recruiter Templates List

I have curated a list of cold email templates that have been carefully selected for recruiters to use when reaching out to leads through email or InMail. These templates have been proven to effectively capture the attention of top talent online. The templates are from a range of industries and are organized in alphabetical order. I will be updating this list based on feedback and suggestions from recruiters in our community.

How Can Recruiters Benefit from Reading Through Recruiter Templates?

Learning best practices: By reading other recruiter templates, recruiters can learn about best practices for writing effective and engaging emails, such as using a clear subject line, keeping the message brief, and ending with a call to action.

Finding inspiration: Recruiters can use other templates as inspiration for creating their own templates, and can adapt them to suit their specific needs and the type of position they are recruiting for.

Saving time: By having a pre-written template to work from, recruiters can save time when sending out initial outreach emails, and can ensure that they are communicating in a consistent and professional manner.

Improving the quality of the outreach: By reading and learning from other templates, recruiters can improve the quality of their outreach by ensuring their emails are well-written, personalized, and tailored to the specific candidate.

Staying up-to-date: By reading other templates from different industries, recruiters can stay up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in the recruiting field.

In summary, recruiters can benefit from reading other recruiter templates by learning best practices, finding inspiration, saving time, improving the quality of the outreach and staying up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in the field.

I’ve added recruiter templates from mostly tech companies: Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, & many others etc.
I’ve added a submit link (below) on the page if you have any recruiter templates. I would love to crowd-source this within our community.

If you want to explore the topic in more depth, I suggest reading my book “The Art of the Recruiter Message” which is available for purchase on Amazon.
