Stalled Candidate Re-Engagement

Stalled Candidate Re-Engagement is a routine your Townie AI assistant runs a couple of times a week: it scans your active candidate threads and pipeline for people who've gone quiet, pulls where each conversation left off, and drafts a warm, specific nudge per candidate — held in your drafts for review.

To: your Townie

Subject: Create me a Stalled Candidate Re-Engagement routine

Build me a routine that catches candidates who've gone quiet mid-process and drafts a re-engagement nudge, so good people don't slip away just because a thread went cold.

Run it on a schedule (a couple times a week is a good start).

When it runs:
- Scan my active candidate threads and pipeline, and flag the ones who've stalled - no reply in a while, a slipped next step, or someone who showed interest then went dark.
- For each, pull where we left off: what role they were up for, what they last said, and what they care about (comp, scope, timing, location).
- Draft a warm, specific nudge per candidate that picks up exactly where we left off and gives them a real reason to re-engage - not a generic "still interested?"

Industry specifics that matter:
- Re-engage on their own stated motivations and reference the actual last touch, so it feels personal, not automated.
- Prioritize candidates worth reviving (strong fit, recent enough to recover); skip hard passes and anyone already moving.
- Keep each draft short and in my voice.

Draft the nudges for my review rather than sending - they're candidate-facing. The scanning and drafting are fine to run on their own.

Before you build this, tailor it to the integrations I actually use and what you already know about me. Don't take the above at face value - ask me the critical questions that make it stronger: which tools and integrations to use, what the output should look like, and how much autonomy you should have (what to do on your own vs. check with me first).

Sent when you sign up — works as-is, or edit anything.

How this routine works

Works with

It runs a couple of times a week
On your schedule, your Townie sweeps active candidate threads and your pipeline for stalls — no reply in a while, a slipped next step, interest that went dark.
It reads where you left off
The role, the last exchange, and what each candidate actually cares about — comp, scope, timing, location — so the nudge lands on their motivation, not a template.
You approve each nudge
Short drafts in your voice wait in your drafts folder, prioritized to the candidates worth reviving. Hard passes and people already moving get skipped.

Stalled Candidate Re-Engagement FAQ

It's a routine your Townie AI assistant runs on a schedule: it scans your active candidate threads and pipeline for people who've gone quiet mid-process, pulls where each conversation left off and what the candidate cares about, then drafts a warm, specific re-engagement nudge per candidate for your review.

No — nothing sends on its own. Every nudge is a draft in your voice that waits for your approval, and the routine reads only the accounts you connect. Read more in our security overview.

Your email for candidate threads, plus wherever your pipeline lives — a spreadsheet or an ATS. If your process spans LinkedIn or a sourcing tool, tell your assistant and it works around what's connected.

Strong fit and recent enough to recover — it skips hard passes and candidates already moving with you. You can tighten the bar, set your own stall window, or protect certain searches entirely with one message.
