Cold Email Template for Outbound Recruiting

## Overview Write a cold email for recruiting passive candidates — professionals not actively looking — that makes the opportunity feel tailored, not templated, and worthy of a reply from someone who's not job hunting. ## Use Cases - In-house recruiters targeting passive candidates for senior or specialized roles - Technical recruiters reaching engineers via GitHub, conference talks, or published work - Executive search firms doing confidential outreach for C-suite placements ## Why This Prompt Works This prompt is engineered for professional outreach that converts. It follows the APEX structure — defining a hyper-specific persona, a singular task, clear context, numbered instructions, and strict quality rules — ensuring consistent, high-quality output across GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini. ## Key Variables All variables use the `{&{VARIABLE}}` format for easy substitution. Replace each variable with your specific context before using.
