LinkedIn outreach for recruiters

You source on LinkedIn from your own account and want the repetitive part done for you: finding names, sending requests, sending the first message. It finds and contacts people. Everything after that stays with you.

Not a fit if you need candidates to flow into an ATS. There is no ATS integration, no CSV export of leads, and no InMail.

From a role to first messages, using the tools as they work today.

1. 1

   Find candidates

   Run a LinkedIn people search for Backend Engineer with the keyword Golang in Pune, paste its link into Search Export and ask for 100 people. That's 100 of your 300 lead finds this month, and a week of connection requests.

2. 2

   Skim and trim

   Delete anyone who clearly doesn't fit before a single request goes out.

3. 3

   Send requests with a short note

   Use a template that names the role, or let AI write each note from a blurb about it. The plan sends up to 20 requests a day and 100 in any 7 days, at the pace you pick.

   Message the people who accepted

   A few days later, run Message Sender with the role details. People who haven't accepted are skipped.

   Take it from there

   Reply in LinkedIn and move interested candidates into your ATS by hand.

One plan, $29 a month, or $20 a month paid yearly. Sourcing usually needs more names than other outreach. 300 lead finds a month and 100 connection requests in any 7 days suit one or two roles at a time.

The 7-day cap is there because LinkedIn limits most accounts to about 100 invitations a week, and hitting its limit blocks invitations for about a week. Hiring for many roles at once from one account means planning your searches around it.

The plan connects one LinkedIn account. HeyReach lists $79 per sender and Expandi $99 per seat (public prices, November 2026). Both are built for agencies and teams running many LinkedIn accounts. If you run one account, you pay for one.

• Keep notes short: the role, and why you're writing to this person.
• One follow-up at most. Replies aren't detected, so a second message can reach someone who already answered.
• Message Sender can reach the same person again on a later run, so use it once for each batch of new connections.
• Track candidates in your own system. There's no ATS sync and no export.
• Stay inside your plan's caps and use Normal or Slow pace. Automation is against LinkedIn's terms, and caps reduce the risk without removing it.
