{{custom.specific_skill}} role — would love your take

Body

Hi {{first_name}},

Saw your work on {{custom.specific_project}} — impressive how you {{custom.specific_outcome}}.

I'm working with {{custom.client_company}} on a {{custom.role_title}} role. They're looking for someone with exactly that profile, and they pay {{custom.comp_range}}.

Even if you're happy where you are, would you mind a quick 10-min call so I can describe the role properly? If it's not for you, I might know someone in your network it'd fit perfectly.

The AI prompt that built this

Copy this prompt into ChatGPT/Claude/your favorite AI to generate variations for your industry, role, or use case. Or — when you sign up for Superkabe — generate it directly inside the platform.

Write a recruiter cold email to a passive candidate. Open with specific praise of their actual work, name the role + comp transparently, end with a referral fallback. Under 100 words.

Why this template works

  • OpenerHyper-specific praise

    Naming an actual project + outcome proves the message isn't templated. Recruiters who skip this step have <2% reply rates.

  • BodyComp transparency

    Naming pay range up front filters the responses you want and signals respect for the candidate's time.

  • Call to ActionReferral fallback

    If they're not interested, they often refer. Compounds the recruiter's pipeline beyond the original outreach.

Before you send

  • Add an unsubscribe link to the footer (CAN-SPAM § 5(a)(3))
  • Include your physical mailing address in every commercial send (CAN-SPAM § 5(a)(5))
  • Set the List-Unsubscribe + List-Unsubscribe-Post headers (Gmail/Yahoo Feb 2024 sender rules)
  • Replace personalization placeholders before sending — never ship raw {{first_name}} to a recipient
  • Send from a domain that's properly authenticated (SPF + DKIM + DMARC)

Sending through Superkabe handles every line above automatically.
