B2B Cold Email & Outreach Solutions for Executive Search Firms

{"faqs":[{"answer":"B2B outreach is personalized, permission-aware outreach to relevant accounts — the opposite of a template blast. The booking funnel requires explicit consent ('I agree to be contacted about my request') and states details are only used to prepare for the call. No sensitive form fields are sent to public analytics.","question":"How does Worqd's outreach comply with GDPR and CAN-SPAM for executive search?"},{"answer":"Yes. Pipeline recovery works with your existing CRM — no platform switch required. The system reactivates contacts already in your database and turns them into booked calls. You only pay for the conversations that come back.","question":"Can Worqd reactivate our Bullhorn or Recruiterflow database without migration?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch. The Growth Engine follows Build → Launch → Optimize → Recover: we find the bottleneck, build the plan, launch quickly, then learn and improve. SEO and answer-engine visibility compound over months.","question":"What's the typical timeline to launch B2B outreach for a retained search practice?"},{"answer":"AI SDR and AI voice agents qualify and book the moment interest arrives (under 60 seconds, 24/7). Calls can be handed to a real person with full context using your calendar and rules — so your consultants step into conversations already qualified and scheduled.","question":"How does AI SDR handoff work when a candidate wants to speak with a consultant?"},{"answer":"AI SDRs deliver a claimed 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR team. One partner runs the whole path — ads, creative, outreach, follow-up, reactivation — with one plan and one report. No vanity metrics, priced against results.","question":"How is this different from hiring an internal SDR team or using a generic outreach agency?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the Bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We audit your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data to find where growth is stuck — before touching anything.

In a retained search market worth $28.5 billion globally, firms relying on blast outreach waste budget on messages that never reach inboxes, let alone spark conversations with passive leaders who aren't actively job hunting.

Every week a leadership role stays open costs your client a leadership gap — and costs your firm overhead without a placement fee. Slow follow-up on candidate responses and client inquiries is a silent multiplier on cycle time.
