The problem it solves

Reaching out to candidates one by one means copying contact details and sending emails and texts by hand, which is slow and easy to duplicate if a record gets touched twice. You need a way for staff to trigger outreach without risking an awkward double message.

Who it fits

Recruiting teams and staffing agencies managing candidates in Airtable.

How it works

  1. A staff member marks a candidate record ready for outreach in Airtable
  2. The system checks whether outreach was already sent to avoid duplicates
  3. An outreach email is sent automatically
  4. An outreach text message is sent automatically
  5. Airtable is updated to show outreach was sent
What you get

Candidates reached without duplicate messages

Mark a candidate in your Airtable and they receive an outreach email and text right away, with no duplicates sent.

What you get

A sent outreach email and text to the candidate, with Airtable updated to prevent duplicates.

What you need

An Airtable account, an email provider like Brevo, and an SMS provider.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
