Conducting candidate outreach in Recruiter can often feel like a series of tradeoffs. If you want to prioritize efficiency, you probably leverage templates, so you can write a message once and then use it over and over again. If you want to prioritize personalization, you sacrifice efficiency for effectiveness, devoting more time to each message you write so that they really are unique to each candidate.

AI-Assistance in InMails has helped to bridge this gap since it automates personalization for you; however, it still requires extra time for you to edit these messages, ensuring they have all the standard elements your templates contain. Templates allow for consistency while AI-Assisted InMails allow for variability. The best candidate outreach strategy should blend the two. 

This is where Company Info in AI-Assisted messages come in. Company Info fields allow you to save elements you use consistently in outreach so that when you generate an AI-assisted InMail, it automatically incorporates them into the message. This feature essentially allows you to create individual templates for the key elements of your outreach strategy, while still ensuring that each message remains personalized.

You can create Company Info fields for a variety of topics, including: 

  • Compensation & benefits highlights

  • Employer value proposition (EVP)

  • Role-specific selling points

  • Hiring urgency or context

  • Logistics / process details

To add custom fields to your InMail: 

  1. Start by drafting an AI-Assisted InMail message
  2. Click on the draft settings button
  3. Click on the plus button within the Company Field section, and then populate it with the information you would like to save as a Company Field

  4. Click Save, and that Company field will be always be available when using AI-Assisted InMail. Whenever you want to use it in a message, simply click on it, and select Draft Again from the draft settings screen.

I can personally say from my experience with drafting outreach how beneficial this feature has been. Before AI-assisted InMails included Company Info fields, I often found myself redrafting messages multiple times to ensure I included key information about our organization. I no longer need to manually add details about our Employee Value Proposition (EVP), benefits, company culture, or about the job itself. 

This feature allows me to maintain consistency in my messaging while still adding the personalization to each candidate in my InMails. I especially appreciate that these elements can be turned on or off depending on the audience and the type of outreach I'm creating.

 In a recruiting landscape where AI is becoming increasingly common, it's still important for me that my outreach still feels authentic and human. AI-Assisted message has saved me so much time, reduced the need for repetitive edits, and helped me deliver a more personalized candidate outreach. I always use this as a starting point and make edits if I need to, but I find that I am not needing to make as many edits as I use to.

Great perspective on balancing efficiency and personalization in candidate outreach ​@Maggie McQuade-LinkedIn!

For niche profiles, such as Field Service Engineers in the marine industry, candidates can quickly spot generic messages. AI helps save time, but the real difference still comes from understanding a candidate’s background and motivations.

I particularly like the idea of using Company Info fields for EVP, sustainability impact, and role-specific selling points. This could help recruiters maintain consistency while keeping each message relevant and personalized.

For hard-to-fill roles, I can also see value in creating role-family-specific Company Fields. For example, different messaging for Service Engineers, Marine Professionals, Automation Specialists, or Digital Talent. This would help ensure that the outreach resonates with what each talent segment values most while maintaining consistency across recruiters.

Ultimately, the best candidate experience comes when AI handles the framework and recruiters add the human touch. I'm curious to hear how others are using Company Fields to tailor outreach for different talent communities. 🚀
