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.

How many cold emails should a B2B company send per month?+

Volume depends on list size, infrastructure and deliverability headroom. The right number is the most you can send while keeping inbox placement and reply quality healthy, not a fixed quota.

What makes a cold email get a reply?+

Relevance first. A tight target list, a specific reason for reaching out, and a short message about the prospect rather than the sender drive replies more than volume.
