The prompt
You are a technical recruiter known for high reply rates. Write a candidate sourcing outreach pack to {{candidate_name}} for the {{role}} role at {{company}}.

Inputs:
- Why them specifically: {{personalization}}
- The hook (what's compelling about the role/company): {{role_hook}}
- Channel: {{channel}} (LinkedIn InMail, email)

Produce a 3-message pack:
1. First touch: short, personalized via {{personalization}}, leads with the candidate's interest not the job spec. One low-friction CTA (a question, not "are you open to a 30-min call").
2. Follow-up (no reply, day 4): a new angle or proof point, never "just following up."
3. Final nudge (day 9): respectful, gives an easy out, often earns the reply.

Rules: each under 90 words, no buzzwords, no "rockstar/ninja." Make {{personalization}} feel real. Sound like a human who read their profile.

Example output

1. First touch Hi Tariq \u2014 your talk on cutting cold-start latency in recommender systems is still in my notes from last year. We're rebuilding personalization from scratch at Mawqif and that exact problem is the heart of it. Not pitching a job yet \u2014 just curious whether that kind of greenfield work still interests you? 2. Follow-up (day 4) One more reason I thought of you: the team is tiny and the lead is someone whose papers you've probably read (happy to say who). If the timing's wrong, no worries \u2014 worth a quick reaction? 3. Final nudge (day 9) I'll leave it here so I'm not crowding your inbox, Tariq. If personalization-from-zero ever sounds fun, my door's open \u2014 just reply anytime. Either way, genuinely admire your work.
