Never forget a candidate again.
Elvatix follows up with your candidates on the day you set, and cancels the reminder automatically the moment they reply.
First things first: what we mean by a follow-up
In short: a follow-up message after your first InMail
A follow-up is the second or third message you send after your first InMail or connection request on LinkedIn goes unanswered. It is meant to spark a reply and get the conversation moving.
In recruitment, your follow-up often decides whether a candidate replies
Most candidates do not reply straight away. They miss your message, are still weighing it up, or simply do not have time that day. A follow-up on LinkedIn gives you a second chance.
This is where follow-up usually goes wrong
Without a fixed moment to follow up, it slips your mind
LinkedIn has no built-in reminder, so that second message never gets sent. You lose track, and with it candidates who would have been happy to reply.
Repeating your first InMail backfires
A message that just repeats what you already said puts people off. A good reminder picks up the thread of your previous InMail and adds something new.
Many recruiters simply copy their first message
Paste the same message underneath and nothing happens. A good reminder adds something real: new context, a different angle, or proof that you actually read the profile. Use your own templates and instructions to keep every follow-up short and relevant.
