How to Use PostSheet to Run Personalized Outreach Campaigns for Hiring or Recruiting

Hiring is all about relationships.
And whether you’re reaching out to engineers, designers, SDRs, marketers — or even freelance collaborators — the way you open the conversation matters.

But sending 1:1 emails at scale? That’s where it usually falls apart.

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, you can run hyper-personalized outreach campaigns for hiring that feel thoughtful, human, and highly relevant — without the CRM or ATS bloat.

Let’s break down how to use it for your next great hire.

👋 Why Personalized Recruiting Emails Outperform InMail Blasts

Great candidates are:

✅ Busy
✅ Selective
✅ Constantly pitched

To stand out, your email needs to be:

✅ Personal
✅ Relevant
✅ Respectful
✅ Easy to reply to

And that’s exactly what PostSheet helps you do — using the spreadsheet you’re already building.

📋 Step 1: Build Your Candidate Outreach Sheet in Google Sheets

Track every potential hire and what makes the outreach relevant.

Name	Email	Role	Source	Reason for Outreach	Custom Message	CTA / Link to Job
Jamie Wong	jamie@email.com	Product Lead	Twitter	Referred by a mutual friend	“We loved your recent talk.”	link.com/product-role
Alex Rivera	alex@email.com	Designer	Dribbble	Strong portfolio match	“Your design system work stood out.”	link.com/design-job

Optional columns: Stage, Status, Notes, Referral Source, Hiring Manager

✉️ Step 2: Write a Thoughtful Outreach Email in PostSheet

This isn’t a job board blast. Keep it short, personal, and relevant.

Example:

css

Copy

Subject: Quick question about your work at {{Source}} 👋

Hi {{Name}},

We came across your work via {{Source}} and were really impressed — especially {{Reason for Outreach}}.

We’re currently hiring for a **{{Role}}** and thought you might be a great fit (or know someone who is).

👉 Check it out: {{CTA / Link to Job}}

P.S. {{Custom Message}}

Would love to hear what you’re exploring next — no pressure either way.

– [Your Name]

Tailor the voice to match your culture. Be human, respectful, and clear.

🚀 Step 3: Send or Schedule in PostSheet

Once your outreach list is ready:

Filter for uncontacted or new candidates
Connect to PostSheet
Map fields like {{Role}}, {{Reason for Outreach}}, {{CTA / Link to Job}}
Preview — polish key messages for top candidates
Send — then mark “Stage = Contacted” or similar

You can follow up in a few days with a second nudge if no reply.

🔁 Bonus: Run Multi-Stage Campaigns

Use your sheet to:

📨 Send a second email (“Just checking in…”)
🗓️ Share a link to book time with the hiring manager
🤝 Refer to a mutual connection or internal referrer
💬 Personalize follow-up based on reply (e.g., “not now” vs “interested”)

Just track candidate stage and personalize each touchpoint with PostSheet.
