Frequently asked questions

What is the best time to do outbound for a recruiting agency?+

The moment a target company posts a relevant role. Outreach timed to active hiring signals reaches the buyer when the need is urgent, which lifts reply and conversion rates well above untimed prospecting.

Is cold calling more effective than cold email?+

Neither wins on its own. Phone reaches buyers who ignore email and email reaches buyers who never pick up. A coordinated program uses both against the same target list.
