Personalised Outreach Opener

How do I start a message so the candidate keeps reading?

PERSONALISED OPENER · Template draft

Subject: Registered Nurse (ICU) opportunity in Qatar

Hi [Candidate name] (to fill in),

I came across your profile and your experience stood out for a Registered Nurse (ICU) role we're hiring for in Qatar.

[One line on why their background fits — a skill, project or past employer.]

The role comes with a competitive, tax-free package.

Would you be open to a 15-minute call this week to hear more? If now isn't the right time, I'd still be glad to stay in touch.

Best regards, [Your name] (to fill in) [Company name] (to fill in)

Follow-up Hi [Candidate name] (to fill in),

Just following up on my note about the Registered Nurse (ICU) role in Qatar. Happy to share the full job description and salary range if it's of interest — and no problem at all if the timing isn't right.

Best regards, [Your name] (to fill in)

The message and follow-up in English and Arabic, by email.

How the opener is personalised

The opening line is the only part of an outreach message that can't be templated. The generator uses the role and the candidate details you enter to write an opener that names something specific about them, then connects it to the job in the next line, followed by a short ask and a follow-up. With AI drafting off, the template leaves a [placeholder] where that specific line goes so you write it yourself.

Opener
The first one or two sentences — what decides whether the rest gets read.
Key details
Facts about the candidate from their public profile: experience, projects, licences.

Check before sending

  • Make sure every detail is right — getting someone's employer or role wrong is worse than not personalising.
  • Use only what the person shared publicly; don't reference private or personal information.
  • Replace any [placeholder] left in the draft.

Finish the message

Turn the opener into a full LinkedIn InMail or candidate outreach email, then test the subject in the subject line tester.

Frequently asked questions

What makes an outreach opener personal?

+

A fact only this person has: a project they led, a certification they just earned, a post they wrote, the hospital or site they work at. 'I saw your impressive profile' is not personal — anyone could send it to anyone. 'Your ICU experience at a Doha tertiary hospital plus ACLS is exactly what our new unit needs' is.

What should I type into Key details?

+

The candidate's specifics, not the company's: years and type of experience, a named project or employer, a licence or certification (DHA, DOH, SCFHS, NEBOSH, CPA), something they posted or a skill that matches your must-haves. Leave out phone numbers, emails and anything they haven't shared publicly.

How long should the opening be?

+

One or two sentences. The opener's job is to get the second line read; the role details can follow. On a phone preview, the first line is often all the candidate sees before deciding to open the message.

Can I use the same opener for several candidates?

+

No — that defeats the point. Generate once per person, or keep the body and rewrite only the first sentence with that person's detail. It takes a minute and is the part of the message candidates notice most.
