How to Add and Use the "Send CV on Spec" Template

Sending CVs through the Contact Module

You can also send speculative CVs through the Contact module if you're focusing on potential clients instead of specific candidates. This is particularly useful if you're doing a search to match a candidate to a company that fits their profile.

- Search for the client or potential match.

- Select the intended recipients from the search results and click Send CV:

Customising the Template for Maximum Impact

While Firefish provides you with a great base email design, you can always tweak the template to make it more personal and relevant to the client or role. Here are a few tips:

- Personalise the Introduction: Mention the recipient by name and reference any specific reasons why this candidate would be a good fit for their company.

- Highlight the Candidate's Skills: Summarise the key qualifications or unique strengths of the candidate, positioning them as a solution to the company’s needs.

- Engage with a Call to Action: Invite the recipient to get in touch for further information or to schedule an interview with the candidate.
