Contact as Self: Customizable Option for Outreach

Written by Tai Gonzalez
Updated over 2 weeks ago

"Contact as Self" offers you the most flexibility and control over your communication with prospective talent, ensuring every outreach message is personalized and consistent with your brand voice.

This feature allows you to manage the entire candidate engagement process directly from your Visage account. The key benefit is full customization and ownership of the message, which generally results in higher candidate trust and response rates.

Customizing Your Email Template

To maximize the response rate of your email campaign, we highly recommend customizing the following information:

  • Your company name

  • Your personal email signature (name and role title)

  • Unique company information (e.g., unlimited PTO, progressive leadership, or specific perks)

  • A clear call to action (e.g., a link to book time on your calendar, or a request for a quick response)

You can easily personalize your outreach by utilizing our selection of available Variables. Simply click the "+" sign next to a specific variable to insert it directly into your template.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip: Always send a preview to yourself to ensure all variables are inserted correctly and the email looks professional before launching your campaign.

Accessing and Copying Existing Templates

To save time, you can leverage previous successful campaigns:

  • Click the "copy an existing template" button to view a library of the last 50 email outreach campaigns associated with your account.

  • Select your desired template and click "save." This copies the entire sequence, including the content, title, number of follow-ups, and timing.

  • Remember to review the template one final time before saving to ensure the content is accurate and tailored for the current job.

Outreach Frequency and Cadence

The default email frequency is a 3-email sequence over the course of 5 days:

  • First email: Sent immediately upon contact.

  • Follow-up 1: Set to send 1 day later.

  • Follow-up 2: Set to send 3 days after the first follow-up.

You can adjust this cadence anywhere within a 30-day window. Visage recommends sending at least 2 emails to maximize open and reply rates.

Once you finish updating your email template, you will be able to see a full preview before sending.

Compliance and Consent Language

Visage automatically includes a consent section at the bottom of every outreach email to ensure compliance. Below is the full text-based consent language exactly as it appears when the email is sent through Visage:

[Recruiter Name] found your profile using Visage.jobs. Reply to this email to connect directly. If you choose to connect directly, you consent to Visage.jobs sharing your contact information with [Client Company Name].
