Frequently asked questions

How do recruiting and staffing firms find new client companies?+

By watching hiring signals and reaching out when demand is live. A targeted program that triggers on job postings and funding puts the firm in front of companies exactly when they need to hire.

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.
