Problem tip

Addressing a known pain point in your email can increase engagement by showing that you understand the recipient’s needs.

If you missed my last email, I wrote because {{CONNECTION_NAME}} recommended that I talk to you. It's about the job openings you're trying to fill. As a recruiter myself, I recently helped {{CONNECTION_NAME}} with {{HIS/HER}} staffing needs and that's where I got your name from.
