How Should You Use This Resource?
To get the best results, use this resource in a practical, ongoing way:
Start by quickly reading through the framework sections to understand how recruiter conversations work across the three phases—before, during, and after.
Next, immediately set up your recruiter tracker using the provided template. Don’t wait until you have multiple conversations—start with even one.
Before every recruiter call, use the preparation checklist to define your pitch and questions. This ensures you show up clear and confident.
During the call, focus on capturing key information—roles, expectations, timelines, and next steps. Do not rely on memory.
After the call, follow the 30-minute rule. Log all details and send a personalised follow-up message within that window.
As your conversations grow, update your tracker consistently and use it as your single source of truth.
Finally, conduct a weekly 10-minute pipeline review to stay on top of follow-ups, identify gaps, and plan next actions.
This resource works best when used continuously—not occasionally.
