Hintro is your outbound sales tool designed to help you increase your monthly billings and personal commission. It will help you to automate your outreach, pitch prospects, and find highly placeable candidates without losing the personal touch.

There are many different types of Hintros but we like to start with two: personalised and generic. By the end of this module, you’ll know when to use both and how to start using video to win in recruitment.

You also have two routes to create a Hintro - the first is recording your camera and the second is recording your screen.

Here's what the finished product looks like.

Hintro is incredibly versatile however the main focus for this particular feature is business development and candidate attraction. By adding Hintro into your processes, you will increase your engagement with both candidates and hiring managers, make quicker placements and reduce the number of candidates dropping out of the process.
