The Problem

Corporate recruiters and talent acquisition teams face many of the same challenges as sales professionals: they need to identify and reach passive candidates who aren't actively job searching, personalize outreach to stand out from the flood of recruiter messages, and manage high-volume campaigns while maintaining quality. LinkedIn InMail has become oversaturated, with response rates declining as candidates ignore generic recruiting messages. Finding direct contact information for candidates is time-consuming, and without it, recruiters are limited to channels where they compete with every other recruiter for attention.

The Solution

Lusha empowers recruiting teams to break through the noise by providing direct contact information and enabling personalized outreach at scale. Recruiters use Lusha's browser extension to capture verified email addresses and phone numbers directly from LinkedIn profiles, enabling outreach through less crowded channels. The platform's research capabilities help recruiters personalize messages with relevant details about the candidate's background, recent accomplishments, and career trajectory. Automated sequences allow recruiters to manage follow-up across hundreds of candidates while maintaining the personal touch that drives responses. Integration with applicant tracking systems ensures all candidate interactions are logged and visible to the entire recruiting team.
