Outreach lets you reach candidates or prospects on LinkedIn with a sequence of messages that Hyre sends for you, within safe limits. When someone replies, you take over the conversation.
Before you start
Your LinkedIn account is connected under Settings › Channels (through the Chrome extension).
You have filled in your Recruiting discipline under Settings › Profile. Until you do, Outreach only shows the question Tell us what kind of recruiting you do.
Want to import from Sales Navigator or Recruiter, or send InMails? Also connect your seat on the Sales Navigator / Recruiter card.
How Outreach is built
You find Outreach in the sidebar under Workspace › Outreach. At the top there are three sections: Campaigns, Lists and Stats.
Lists: who do you reach? A list is a group of LinkedIn profiles. You build it with the Sourcing Agent, or through Import manually from a LinkedIn search, Sales Navigator, Recruiter, a CSV file and more. See Build a list.
Campaigns: what do you send? A campaign links a list to a sequence of steps: optional warmup (visit the profile, follow, like the latest post), a connection request and then up to 7 messages. You create it with the Campaign Agent or with Create manually. See Create a campaign.
Stats: what does it bring in? Acceptance, messages and replies per period and per campaign. See Read your stats.
Top right there are three more buttons: - The daily counter (for example "25 left today"): how many profiles you can still import today. - Pending invites: your open connection requests, which you can withdraw here. - Settings: your working window (days and hours) and your daily limits. These apply to your whole LinkedIn account, not per campaign. See LinkedIn limits and safe use.
Three kinds of campaigns
Existing network: people who are already a connection. No connection request needed, so it is fast.
New: second and third degree contacts. First a connection request, then the messages after they accept.
Reactivation: people who said "not now" earlier. You add them from your Inbox to a campaign that gets back in touch after 3, 6 or 12 months.
Our advice: run 2 or 3 at a time, for example 2 outreach campaigns and 1 reactivation campaign.
Good to know
When someone replies, the sequence stops for that person and the reply lands in your Inbox. Read What happens when someone accepts or replies?.
Your daily limits are shared by all your campaigns. More campaigns means fewer requests per campaign.
At most 5 campaigns run at the same time. A sixth waits in the queue (Queued) until a slot frees up.
A connection request with a note (max. 300 characters) needs a paid LinkedIn plan (Premium, Sales Navigator or Recruiter).
Don't use a second LinkedIn tool next to Hyre on the same account. It doubles the activity LinkedIn sees and raises the risk of a restriction.
