Script Submission
Good afternoon,
I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to you today because I came across your profile, and it really piqued my interest. I was most impressed with your extensive UX background, and capability to drive end-to-end research and design work at ABC Company.
I noticed that youâve been working at ABC Company for about 2 and a half years now (thatâs awesome!), and I hope itâs still going great. But, in case youâre looking to explore something new, I have a UX Designer role and a Senior UX Designer opportunity in mind. I think these roles could be a fit, and Iâd love to share them with you.
I am always looking to network with passionate and ambitious design individuals, and would love to learn more about you and your career goals. Are you open to a conversation? Let me know if you are available anytime this week to chat.
I look forward to connecting!

Hi Danny,
It seems like all the training, etc says to block out hours of time to execute â do not answer the phone during these times. Here is my question â I am calling and leaving voice mail after voice mail â both marketing and recruiting â donât I want to answer the phone to see if itâs one of these people calling me back? Yes, I have caller ID but sometimes itâs hard to tell who is calling. I have tried leaving specific blocks of time when I can be reached for callbacks on voicemail messages but often people donât pay attention. How does it work with your top producers?
Dannyâs response,
There would be zero shoplifting, a billion dollar problem in America, if we installed X ray machines and hired Bar Bouncers at the entrances to beat up anybody caught doing it. But then nobody would go in the store. So âRetail Realityâ is you are going to take the risk of some loss in order to have an overall âflowâ to your business.
I feel the same way about your issue. Once in a great while you ...
Hi Danny,
Iâm a 20-year veteran of the business and have had a fair amount of success ($5+ million in placements). However, I specialize in IT and, as of late, find myself rethinking whether Iâm still capable in this field. Iâve zipped two months in a row and am having a very hard time staying positive and pounding the rock. I find myself disgusted by 2 p.m. and indulging my own personal âWeapons of Mass Distraction.â Iâve worked my way out of slumps before and weathered the recessions of â82 and â91/92 but am finding this recession even more frustrating. Other than increasing my confidence through success (placements) which obviously works, is there another elixir of confidence out there? What should I be reading, listening to, drinking, smoking? Hey, trust me; Iâm keeping all options open on this.

If this were 12-18 months ago, my advice would be the same that I gave the two IT recruiters in my office, and the two IT recruiters I had working virtually for me on...
Hi Danny,
For some reason I am finding old clients going to new sources although our candidates are staying, no one left, and I canât find any issues.
Without seeming desperate how can I ask them what happened?
I have asked one and they said it wasnât their call and they donât know why. We donât work on exclusivity so I canât understand what happened.
At the same time, for some reason some companies are still signing contracts, giving us a mandate then not replying although I know they are working with other recruiters on the mandates we were asked to work on or they leave me in the dust.
What am I doing wrong????
I feel like the market is picking up yet I had the two most terrible quarters imaginableâŚH-E-L-P

The world you want, and think you have earned, one in which whenever there is an opening or staffing need at the clients youâve done quality work for, they all sit in a meeting, sign off the req and then send out the Bat Signal into the night sky with ...
