For recruitment agencies

Which old client enquiries are worth reopening?

Recruitment agencies build up commercial conversations that never fully convert: hiring briefs that paused, employers that delayed headcount, clients who used another supplier, and enquiries that went quiet. LeadRestore helps rank the old client-side opportunities that may deserve another look.

Designed around commercial lead recovery, not candidate blasting.

For recruitment, LeadRestore is best positioned around client and employer-side opportunities: old hiring enquiries, business development leads, dormant briefs and commercial conversations.

We do not recommend treating a candidate database as a generic marketing list. Your agency remains responsible for lawful processing, existing preferences and deciding whether any contact is appropriate.

A simple workflow

  1. Export a manageable set of old client enquiries or briefs from your CRM or spreadsheet.
  2. Run up to 50 rows through the Free Lead Recovery Audit.
  3. Review the strongest opportunities and the reasoning behind the ranking.
  4. Use the suggested follow-up as a draft, then let a person decide what should actually be sent.

Why a recovered recruitment client can matter

Recruitment is a high-value, relationship-led sale. The commercial value of one reopened client conversation can be far greater than the cost of the software, which is why prioritising old inbound demand can be worth testing before buying more top-of-funnel attention.

LeadRestore's Free Audit requires no card. The Business plan is £49/month for larger and repeat recovery scans.
