How to send an email to a sourced candidate with whom you have a mutual connection?

When sending an email to a sourced candidate with whom you have a mutual connection, you are reaching out to a person who might not know anything about your company.

This is why it is important to follow the best practices for writing cold emails. To increase your emails open and response rates, make sure that you personalize both the subject line and the body of the email.  

The body of the email should always contain a brief information about the company and some more detail about the open position. Tell the candidate about your Employee Value Propositions, and stories about why your employees love working for you. Don't forget to include a well-written job description

Subject line: Got your name from [Connection_Name]

Dear [Candidate_Name],

I received your contact information from [Connection_Name].

We grabbed a coffee last week to talk about talented [Job_title].

I needed [Connection_Name] to recommend a high-quality candidate, and­ he/she couldn't have recommended you more enthusiastically!

Would you be open to having a quick chat about [Company_Name] and the role that (I think) might be a perfect fit?

[Your Name]
