For recruiters. Be the recruiter who wrote.

For recruitment agencies and search firms. Hiring managers’ inboxes are full of agencies. A letter in real ink, about the role they’re trying to fill, arrives on their desk instead.

There’s no spam folder in the post.

What to write.

A first letter to a hiring manager. The blanks fill in from each row on your list, so every letter names who they’re hiring.

Dear first name,

I saw that company is looking for who they’re hiring, and I have been talking to some people I think you would like.

If it would help, I could send you a short list this week, with no obligation at all.

With best wishes,

Your name

Make it theirs.

  • Name the role. Open with the job they’re trying to fill, not with your agency.
  • Offer something real. A short list, a salary guide, an hour of advice: something worth replying to.
  • Thank the placements. A card in a new starter’s first week starts the next conversation, whichever side of the desk they’re on next.

Write with AI.

Or let your assistant write every one. Connect Very Good Letter to Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, ask in plain words, and it writes each person a letter of their own.

An assistant writing one of these letters: Using Very Good Letter, write a first letter to the hiring manager for each open role on this list. Read each company’s careers page first and mention the role. Show me every letter and the price before ordering. Reading the list: Brackenmoor Dairies is hiring a head of food safety in Carlisle. Reading their careers page: The role has been open since August. Joanna Price is hiring. Writing Joanna’s letter: Names the role, and offers a short list she could see this week. Dear Joanna, I saw Brackenmoor is still looking for a head of food safety. It is a hard role to fill, and I have been talking to… Joanna’s letter, ready for you to check.
  • It does the reading. Ask it to check your CRM, your orders and the news first, and it writes every letter from what it finds.
  • Every letter its own. Not a template with a name dropped in: each one written from greeting to sign-off for the person who opens it, and sized to fit.
  • Nothing goes without you. It can show you every letter, who it’s to and the price before anything is ordered. It orders only when you say yes.

Fair questions.

Can each letter name the role?
Yes. Anything on your list goes into their letter, in the same ink as the rest: their name, the company, the role, where it’s based.
Can it carry a QR code?
Yes. Print one on the letter, under the writing, so they can book a call from their phone.
Can I check them before they go?
Yes. Read every letter on screen before you pay, exactly as the pen will write it.
Who writes the letters?
Written by robots. Unquestionably human. Real fountain pens, real ink, real paper. Just a steadier hand than ours. Nib, our handwriting model, guides each pen, in twelve styles from loose to neat.
What does it cost?
You pay in credits. A standard letter is 7 credits, envelope, stamp and postage included: from £3.25 a letter before VAT. See the prices.
