Rookbound

Outreach for recruiting teams

Cold email blasts that turn responders into warm relationships.

Rookbound sends your cold lists across a fleet of healthy mailboxes. When someone replies with interest, they leave the blast and move into an ongoing drip, from the same mailbox they wrote to, while your recruiter takes the conversation.

  1. 1

    Blast

    A cold list and a short sequence: up to six plain-text emails, no links in the first touch, stopped for each person the moment they reply.

  2. 2

    Respond

    Replies are read and sorted: interested, meeting, not interested, out of office, wrong person, unsubscribe. Your team corrects a label in one click and the classifier learns from it.

  3. 3

    Drip

    Responders and the people you already work with get a long-running nurture. A reply pauses it instead of ending it, and nobody who has responded is ever blasted again.

Built to stay out of spam

Mailbox lifecycle

New mailboxes warm up before they send. Each one has a daily cap, a minimum gap between sends and a slow ramp per campaign, all enforced in the database.

Provider matching

Google recipients get Google senders, Microsoft gets Microsoft, and addresses behind Proofpoint, Mimecast or Barracuda get extra-careful sending.

Automatic pausing

Bounces, complaints, blacklist hits and falling inbox placement pause a mailbox or domain on their own, reroute its queue, and rest it before it warms back up.

Verified lists

Addresses are checked on import and again before sending if the check is old. Invalid and catch-all addresses are skipped unless you choose otherwise.

Caps that hold

Per-mailbox, per-domain, per-company and per-campaign limits, plus one-click unsubscribe on every email, applied before the next send.

Replies, not opens

Reply rate is the headline number. Open and click tracking stay off unless you turn them on.

Salesforce, both ways

Pull candidates and leads from a list view or report. Point a list of people you already work with at a drip and they are kept out of every blast. Sends, replies, bounces and unsubscribes flow back as campaign activity, and interested replies become tasks for the right recruiter.

Works with TargetRecruit and other Salesforce orgs.
