Business development on a full desk
When every consultant is busy filling roles, who’s winning the next client?
Your consultants are screening, interviewing and chasing offers. Business development slides to Friday afternoon, then to next week. Recruitment suits Sevenfold’s AI lead generator, MAX, because hiring is one of the signals he watches. He finds the managers who hire at the companies your desks serve and emails them on your agency’s behalf. Candidates stay with your consultants.

Hiring managers at the companies your desks serve
Give MAX titles like HR manager, head of engineering or finance director. He finds new contacts at matching companies every day, each with a verified work email.
- One campaign per desk, so construction and accounting each keep their own targeting and emails
- Upload the clients you’d like back as a CSV, at most 500 contacts per file

Companies with open job ads come first
Each lead is scored from A to D on fit and on timing. Open job ads are one timing signal. New funding is another, and so is a company using tools that match your keywords, which suits an IT desk.
- A lead’s strongest signal becomes its one-line “why now”
- Scoring retunes itself weekly from the signals that earned replies

BD emails that open with the hiring manager’s problem
MAX writes one, three or five emails from your AI Brain: the roles you fill and how you pitch. Email one gets light tailoring per hiring manager: name, company, title and timing signal.
- Nothing sends until every email is approved, and editing one puts it back to draft
- Test two versions of the first email to learn which gets more replies
