PROMPT

Create a skill called "Outreach Personalizer". Inputs: - Candidate profile snippet (LinkedIn headline, skills, recent project, etc.) - Role summary + must-haves - Location/remote - Pay range (optional) - Tone (direct, warm, formal) Output: 1) 3 subject line options (if email or InMail) 2) An 80–140 word message that: - Opens with a specific hook from their background - States the role impact in 1 line - Includes the clearest "why them" signal - Makes a single, simple ask (15-min chat) - Mentions pay range if provided (or asks permission to share) 3) 2 follow-up nudges (short)

How It Works

Paste a candidate's profile snippet and role details. The skill writes a

personalized message that opens with something specific to them — not

a template with their name swapped in.

What You Get

  • 3 subject line options
  • An 80–140 word message with a specific hook, role impact, and a simple ask
  • 2 follow-up nudges

Setup Steps

  1. Copy the candidate's LinkedIn headline, recent project, or skills list
  2. Add the role summary and must-haves
  3. Choose your tone (direct, warm, formal)
  4. Optionally include pay range
  5. Send the message and queue the follow-ups

Tips

  • The hook should prove you actually looked at their profile
  • Always end with a single, simple ask (15-minute chat works best)
  • Including comp upfront increases response rates significantly
  • Don't over-personalize — one specific reference is enough
