What it means

Candidate Nurture is the relationship-building work of staying in touch with potential candidates before they apply or before the right role opens.

Buyer checks

  • Confirm segments, campaigns, and personalization are manageable without spammy outreach.
  • Review candidate preferences, consent, and unsubscribes are respected.
  • Check nurture activity can hand off cleanly to CRM or ATS workflows.
