More than 80% of job seekers say they would be more interested in a role if an employer reached out proactively about it1. ZipRecruiter’s Resume Database and Smart Outreach are built around this dynamic – empowering hiring teams to start the conversation sooner.
“Employers shouldn’t have to spend hours drafting follow-ups and chasing candidate responses,” said Megan Allen, Chief Product Officer, ZipRecruiter. “Smart Outreach handles that work for them, creating and optimizing messages to candidates so recruiters have more time to focus on what matters: building the relationships that lead to great hires.”
Resume Database helps hiring teams quickly find qualified candidates from a pool of more than 50 million job seekers2. With Smart Outreach, recruiters can instantly turn their candidate pipeline into real conversations without spending hours writing emails or manually following up. Instead of chasing responses, teams can focus on connecting with the right people:
- Generate personalized outreach instantly. Smart Outreach uses AI to turn job descriptions into customized, editable messages for selected candidates, virtually eliminating manual email writing.
- Automate follow-up effortlessly. Up to three messages are sent over time — or until a candidate replies — to get a candidate conversation started with minimal work.
Resume Database also includes new productivity tools that enable hiring teams to:
- Export resumes with the click of a button. Export resumes directly into a preferred ATS via ZipRecruiter’s Resume Database Webhook integration.
- Quickly spot new, engaged talent. Activity badges and filters help to instantly identify new candidates, recently updated resumes, and highly active job seekers.
- Review candidates faster. Get access to resumes and candidate contact info directly from search results, and move seamlessly from candidate to candidate with a new Candidate Carousel.
