What Vocito does for you

Executive search = passive market + 6-18 month cycle + high ticket.

C-level talent isn't open to cold mail. Works through personal approach + long relationship + signals. Vocito automates the touch pattern without losing the personality.

How it works

Three features that take headhunters from cold sourcing to warm pipeline.

Hyper-personalised outreach

Per candidate: AI reads LinkedIn profile, recent posts, shared connections, publications, speaking roles. Writes a message that references specific achievements + personal hook + relevant opportunity. Response rate typically rises from 2% to 15-25% at C-level.

6-12 month nurture pipeline

For 'not now' candidates: AI plans monthly touches with valuable content (industry report, vacancy mailing for their niche, conference invite). No spam — every touch has personal relevance. On interest: instant alert + warm-up call.

Signal monitoring + alerts

Tracked per warm candidate: LinkedIn bio changes ("open to opportunities"), new position taken ("just started, not yet entrenched"), thought-leadership posts (signal of ambition). Instant alert + outreach with right timing.

Real numbers

"In executive search our time previously went 60% to outreach + nurture emails. With Vocito we have 3× as many active candidate conversations because AI takes over first-touch + nurture steps. Time-to-placement is on average 3 weeks shorter. Placement revenue rose 40%."

Frequently asked

What headhunters ask before they start

How does outreach become truly personal and not spammy?
For every candidate: AI reads profile + minimum 10 most-recent posts + publications + 'about' section. Generates an opener referencing specific achievement or insight from their work. We've learned: 'Hi name' is mass; 'I read your post about X and thought of opportunity Y' is personal. AI does the second.
Does this work with my ATS / CRM (Bullhorn Executive, Invenias, Clockwork)?
Yes. CSV import + native integrations for top executive-search tools on the roadmap. Pipeline data, candidate status, client mandates — all real-time synced. For unique executive-search fields (e.g. board roles, language skills): custom fields built in.
What about confidentiality (clients don't want their executives to know we're replacing them)?
Vocito has 'confidential mandates' mode. Outreach happens without mentioning client name. Pipeline data is per-mandate isolated. For extra-sensitive: multi-layer encryption, audit trail of every access. DPA with confidentiality clauses standard.
How does AI handle 'open to opportunities' signals?
For your entire warm-leads database Vocito tracks LinkedIn bio changes weekly. On update to 'open to work' or subtle signals ('seeking new challenges'): instant alert + suggested outreach approach based on previous conversations. Timing is everything in executive search.
How does this cost compared to an extra researcher in-house?
In-house researcher: €4-6k/month for sourcing + outreach + nurture. Vocito from €299/mo does sourcing + outreach + 24/7 nurture + signal monitoring. For headhunters with 10+ active mandates: immediate ROI. Plus: scalable — no extra hire needed for growth.

3× as many active candidate conversations. Without extra researcher.
