Situation

This US-based recruitment agency needed to reach law firms and accounting practices before generic recruiter outreach crowded the market, while its founder spent three to four hours each morning researching vacancies and contacts.

Task

Detect live vacancies across five practice areas, match pre-vetted candidates, deliver privacy-compliant profiles to decision-makers, and return founder time to interviews and negotiations.

“Managing partners get ten recruiter emails before 9 AM. I was burning four hours every day manually researching firms and crafting pitches, only to find out competitors had already pitched.”
Justin, Founder, US-based recruitment agency

Action

RecruitmentOS monitored 19 job platforms, enriched managing-partner contacts through a waterfall, matched anonymized candidates to job descriptions, and sent 3,111 personalized follow-ups through isolated mailboxes.

Result

The 38-day campaign processed 1,201 positive hiring-intent leads, delivered 2,409 tailored resumes, generated 638 replies and 348 qualified opportunities, and secured 228 signed agreements.

“The difference was night and day. Within 38 days, our calendar was stacked with partners from leading regional and national legal and accounting practices. 228 signed terms without adding a single SDR.”
Justin, Founder, US-based recruitment agency

Strategic takeaway

Signal-driven outbound converted directly into signed client agreements at scale across five practice areas.
