Contactful for Recruiters
Recruiting isn’t about “finding more profiles”. It’s about closing loops:
keeping candidate context, running structured follow-ups, and moving the right people forward.
Contactful is a lightweight LinkedIn workflow system for recruiters:
save candidates you actually want, add durable notes + tags,
and move them through custom pipelines with your own stages (up to 3 pipelines).
No scraping. No automation maintenance. Just a system you’ll use every day.
Recruiting clarity, right inside LinkedIn
Contactful helps recruiters stay on top of candidates without tab chaos — every profile has a reason, a stage, and a next step.
What recruiters get from Contactful
Less admin work. More momentum. A simple system that keeps candidates moving.
Candidate context that doesn’t disappear
Keep notes that survive busy weeks: role fit, compensation, motivation, red flags, next step. Stop re-reading profiles from scratch.
Shortlists you can rebuild in seconds
Tag candidates by role, seniority, stack, location, work model, availability. Filter to find “top 10” instantly — without spreadsheets.
Recruiting pipelines that match your process
Create up to 3 pipelines and define your own stages: “Sourced”, “Outreach”, “Replied”, “Interview”, “Offer”, “Hold”.
Faster handoffs & team alignment
A candidate’s status is obvious. Notes and tags keep the story consistent across the team. Export when it’s time to share or report.
Local-first by design
Your vault lives on your device — simple, controlled, and lightweight. Great when you want a clean privacy posture.
Export when you decide
Move shortlists to ATS/CRM as CSV/Excel when you’re ready — not because the tool forces you.
Recruiting loop: fast capture → structured progress
Contactful makes it easy to do the small things that make recruiting work: capture context, track stage, follow up consistently.
Pipeline templates recruiters can copy
- Active Role: Sourced → Outreach → Replied → Screen → Interview → Offer
- Bench: Great Fit → Hold → Re-check → Re-engage
- Referrals / Network: Potential → Intro Needed → Warm → Ready
Why this is better than “notes everywhere”
Most recruiters lose time re-building context. Contactful keeps every candidate tied to a stage and next step, so your pipeline moves even when the week gets busy.
