03Warm vs. cold

Warm outreach converts. Cold outreach gets ignored.

Cold outreach is a volume game. Warm outreach is a conversion game. Here is the same role, run two different ways.

05Campaign options

Two ways to work a role. You choose.

ERIN builds the campaign for you. Reach candidates directly with Recruit, or ask employees to refer the exact matches from their network with Activate. Run one, or run both on the same role.

Direct outreach

Recruit

ERIN reaches candidates directly with a personalized message from you — referencing the mutual employee connection so it lands warm, not cold.

  • Personalized email or LinkedIn from the recruiter
  • References the mutual employee connection by name
  • Replies come straight back to you

  • AI-picked candidates matched to each employee's network
  • Personalized ask sent to the employee, not the candidate

01Inside Source

From job capture to warm introduction.

Drop in a job URL. ERIN's AI captures the role, identifies the employees most connected to qualified candidates, drafts the outreach, and launches the campaign, to employees, or directly to candidates with the employee connection baked into the message.

02Built for Recruitment Marketing

Sourcing through the people who already know them.

Discover candidate connections

AI identifies qualified candidates already connected to your workforce through shared employers, schools, industries, and professional networks.

Choose how you go to market

ERIN builds the campaign for you, choose a referral push, a network-sharing campaign, or warm introductions to high-priority candidates.

Just paste a job URL

No ATS hookup, no IT lift, no employee list to upload. Drop a URL from any careers site and ERIN does the rest in minutes.

03The network

Your network grows with every campaign.

ERIN starts with the job in the center, matches your employees against an Ideal Referrer Profile, then surfaces the candidates in their networks. As you launch campaigns, more connections appear, so you can visually navigate and launch the next one.
