Why We Introduce Candidates via Email Before the Interview
TJ Kastning
We want to build trust, not act as a gatekeeper.
Hiring is about relationshipsโnot transactions. And from day one, we want every candidate and client to feel like they’re on the same team.
Thatโs why we send a simple but important introduction email before the interview ever happens.
Weโre Not the GatekeepersโWeโre the Bridge
At Ambassador Group, we believe in fostering durable, healthy relationships between candidates and hiring managers. That starts with access.
When candidates donโt know who theyโre meeting or donโt feel permission to reach out, it creates distance. They show up to interviews unsure of whoโs in the loop or how theyโre being perceived. Thatโs not a good dynamic for anyone.
Our intro email is a handshake. It tells the candidate: This is your future teamโgo connect.
It tells the hiring manager: This person is worth your attentionโgo build trust.
It Also Helps Everyone Stay in Sync
Life happens. Schedules shift. People get sick.
Without a direct connection, small changes can create big stress. But with our email introduction, both sides know who to contact if something comes up.
No more playing telephone through the recruiter. No more confusion about whoโs responsible for next steps.
This Is How We Build Durable Matches
You canโt build a strong relationship if people feel walled off from each other.
Our job isnโt to stand in the middleโitโs to set the stage.
We stay involved to support both sides throughout the process. But we start by stepping back just enough to let connection grow.
