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

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

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

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

Before you start

Client development, by email, for recruiters

Targeting you set for each campaign

  • Job titles, and titles to skip, like consultants at rival agencies
  • Seniority and department
  • Industries and keywords
  • Cities or regions
  • Company size, from 1–10 staff up to 10,000+

Look elsewhere if you need

  • LinkedIn InMails or text messages
  • Inbound job briefs or applicants followed up
  • Client meetings booked into consultants’ calendars
  • Leads pushed into your recruitment CRM

When hiring managers write back

Replies your BD inbox will see

“We might need a contractor next month”

Interested. MAX stops the sequence, marks the lead qualified and emails you a hot-lead alert with their name, company and email. A suggested reply waits for you to copy and send.

“Speak to our head of finance”

A referral. The head of finance becomes a new lead in the campaign, since that’s who owns the vacancy.

“We only use agencies on our preferred supplier list”

An objection. It waits for one of your consultants, with a reply drafted by MAX to start from.

“No roles this quarter”

Not now. That manager hears nothing for 45 days, then the sequence restarts at email one.

Questions & Answers

Questions recruitment agency owners ask

Whose mailbox do the BD emails come from?
Yours. Connect your agency’s Gmail or Outlook / Microsoft 365 account, Zoho Mail, or any mailbox that uses IMAP/SMTP, and replies land in that inbox. Out of the box MAX sends on weekdays between 9am and 6pm in your time zone, 50 a day, at least five minutes apart, and each email ends with an unsubscribe link.
What does the weekly report show?
It’s posted in MAX’s chat once a week: emails sent, replies and reply rate, qualified leads, leads passed to SALLY, our AI sales executive, the signal that worked best, and your A/B test results. It doesn’t track opens or clicks.
Can I change a campaign without opening the settings?
Yes. Ask MAX in chat how a campaign is going, change who it targets, or pause it. Every change waits for your OK.
How much is MAX for a recruitment agency?
From AUD $29 a month on a yearly plan, or AUD $38 paid monthly, with the whole team of seven AI employees on each plan. Leads use usage credits as MAX finds them, and automatic daily lead finding starts once you’re on an active paid plan rather than a trial.
