Your best candidates for this search are already in your database — ZeroTwo finds them and re-engages them

Your database is an underused asset. ZeroTwo turns it back on.

Your Tier 1 (12 former finalists) includes 3 candidates who reached final round in the last 18 months — I've flagged their last touchpoint and the reason they weren't placed. For these 3, I've drafted personalized 'the role has evolved' messages that reference specific details from their prior interview stage. For the 31 silver medalists, I've written a market-update version that explains why now is different.

ATS reactivation tools built for recruiting agencies

Your ATS is your best sourcing channel — most agencies ignore it

The average recruiting ATS contains thousands of candidates who were once qualified enough to contact. ZeroTwo clusters them by relevance to the new role and identifies former finalists, silver medalists, and mistimed candidates who are worth re-engaging before spending a dollar on job boards.

Re-engagement that references what you know

ZeroTwo drafts re-engagement messages that use the history in your ATS — prior interview stage, the reason they weren't placed, how long ago they were active — to create outreach that feels personal, not a mass email blast. Former finalists respond to messages that reference the specific round they reached.

Four tiers ranked by reactivation priority

ZeroTwo clusters your ATS exports into four priority tiers — former finalists, silver medalists, adjacent fit, and early-stage only — so recruiters know exactly where to spend their re-engagement effort instead of treating 847 records as a flat list to email in bulk.

How to mine and reactivate your ATS database with ZeroTwo

Step 1
Export and upload your ATS records

Export candidate records from your ATS or CRM — notes, stage reached, date of last contact, rejection reason, and any available resume or profile data. Upload to ZeroTwo with the new role brief.

Step 2
Cluster by relevance and priority

ZeroTwo reads the exported records against the new role brief and clusters candidates into four tiers: former finalists, silver medalists, adjacent fit, and early-stage only — ranked by reactivation priority and fit confidence.

Step 3
Draft personalized re-engagement messages

ZeroTwo generates a re-engagement message for each priority-tier candidate — referencing their prior stage, the reason for the gap, what's changed about the role or the market since their last contact, and a soft ask that respects the prior relationship.

Step 4
Build segmented campaigns

ZeroTwo builds a segmented campaign for each tier: Tier 1 (personal reference email), Tier 2 (market update + role evolution), Tier 3 (new opportunity match), and Tier 4 (check-in + newsletter style) — with the appropriate tone and CTA for each relationship stage.

Export candidate records from your ATS or CRM — notes, stage reached, date of last contact, rejection reason, and any available resume or profile data. Upload to ZeroTwo with the new role brief.

Your next placement is probably already in your ATS. You just haven't found them yet.

Most recruiting agencies have hundreds or thousands of qualified candidates who fit their current openings but were never re-engaged after the first search. Use ZeroTwo to mine your database, cluster by relevance, and write the personalized re-engagement message that gets the response — before spending budget on new sourcing.
