MPC campaigns: market a candidate, open a client conversation

01

Choose a candidate with a clear market

A strong candidate is not automatically a strong marketing angle. Identify the experience, skills, location and achievements that make this person relevant to a specific group of employers. Keep claims factual and current. A long resume should become a focused reason for a hiring manager to pay attention.

Confirm availability, preferences and permission before putting the profile into a campaign. The candidate may be interested in only certain roles, locations or employers. Those boundaries should shape the target list rather than being discovered after a reply.

• ✓Verify relevant experience and achievements.
• ✓Confirm role, location and availability preferences.
• ✓Obtain permission for the agreed marketing approach.
• ✓Record exclusions before selecting employers.

02

Explain why each employer belongs on the list

Open roles can provide a starting point, but a title alone is weak evidence of fit. Compare the candidate's strengths to the employer's requirements and context. Recruiters should review the list, including companies where the relationship would be unsuitable or already active.

Custom matching technology can help prepare that work. It should make the reasons visible and flag uncertainty. The recruiter still decides who is worth approaching. An automatically assembled list is not proof that every employer is hiring or that the candidate will qualify.

03

Decide what to share and when

Agree the initial pitch before outreach. A concise or anonymised profile may be appropriate before sharing identifying information or a full resume. Do not assume that removing a name makes a profile impossible to identify; highly specific details can still reveal a person.

Keep the candidate's permission and the agreed disclosure rules attached to the campaign. Review privacy responsibilities for the markets involved. The most useful pitch is specific enough to explain fit while respecting the boundaries you have agreed.

04

Connect the candidate to an employer need

A candidate-led message should explain why this person's background matters to that employer. It is not a generic request for a job order with a resume attached. Give the hiring decision maker enough context to decide whether a conversation is relevant.

LinkedIn and cold email can support the same employer list, but they need shared reply handling and exclusions. Keep follow-up consistent with what the recipient has said. An interested employer should move to the recruiter with the candidate context intact.

• ✓Write an employer-specific reason to care.
• ✓Approve profile details and message claims.
• ✓Coordinate LinkedIn and email touchpoints.
• ✓Assign replies to a recruiter and stop scheduled follow-up.

05

Track the relationship, not only the placement

The outcome may be a candidate discussion, a job order, an introduction to another hiring manager or a longer-term client relationship. Record what the employer actually asks for and what the recruiter does next. A reply is not a placement, and a matching tool cannot guarantee an interview.

Blue Craze Media can scope managed MPC outreach and custom technology for matching, employer lists and campaign preparation. Those are different scopes. Decide whether you need a campaign team, an owned workflow connected to your CRM or ATS, or both before requesting a quote.
