Linkedin Outreach

How automated outreach works — and what control you have

LinkedIn outreach on TechTree is designed to be:

  • Opt-in

  • Conservative

  • Transparent

  • Fully under your control

This page explains exactly what happens, what doesn’t, and why.


The purpose of LinkedIn outreach

Automated outreach exists to:

  • Surface relevant candidates at scale

  • Create inbound interest efficiently

  • Let Talent Partners earn without constant manual sourcing

It is not designed for:

  • Spam

  • High-volume blasting

  • Misrepresentation

  • Risky LinkedIn behaviour


How outreach works (step by step)

1. You opt in

Outreach never runs by default.

To enable it, you:

  • Connect your LinkedIn account via the Chrome extension

  • Explicitly opt in during onboarding or later

  • Can pause or stop at any time

No opt-in = no outreach.


2. You’re matched to a role

TechTree allocates you to roles based on:

  • Geography

  • Seniority

  • Past performance

  • Capacity

You’ll always know:

  • The company

  • The role

  • The context you’re representing

We do not anonymise roles or hide company names.


3. Candidates are selected by AI

For each role:

  • TechTree AI builds a candidate shortlist

  • Profiles are filtered for relevance

  • Existing connections are excluded

  • Duplicate outreach is prevented platform-wide

You are not competing with other Talent Partners.


4. Messages are sent conservatively

Outreach follows strict limits:

  • Fewer than 100 connection requests per week

  • Well within LinkedIn’s safety thresholds

  • Throttled and staggered automatically

We prioritise:

  • Account safety

  • Long-term deliverability

  • Your reputation


5. Candidates reply — you engage

When a candidate responds:

  • You see them in your dashboard

  • You reply as yourself

  • You answer questions or confirm interest

  • You submit interested candidates into TechTree

TechTree may assist with:

  • Suggested replies

  • Context

  • Next steps

But you are never impersonated.


What TechTree will do on your behalf

When outreach is enabled, TechTree may:

  • Create message sequences for the role

  • Send connection requests from your LinkedIn

  • Assist with first-line responses to engaged candidates

  • Route interested candidates into the platform

All activity is logged and visible.


What TechTree will never do

To be explicit, we do not:

  • Send messages without your opt-in

  • Message your existing LinkedIn connections

  • Exceed LinkedIn limits

  • Hide who the company or role is

  • Run outreach while your account is paused

  • Continue new outreach after deactivation

If something feels unclear — stop it immediately and tell us.


Your control at all times

You can:

  • Pause outreach instantly

  • Stop outreach permanently

  • Disconnect the extension

  • Ask for clarification on any message or role

Control always sits with you.


Time commitment & earnings

Typical effort:

  • ~1 hour per week

  • Mostly replying to interested candidates

Typical payout:

  • 10% of the success fee

  • ≈ €1.5k–€3k per hire (role dependent)

This is the most passive way to earn on TechTree.


Best practices from top Talent Partners

What works best:

  • Reply quickly to interest

  • Be honest about role context

  • Set expectations early

  • Submit only genuinely interested candidates

What to avoid:

  • Over-selling

  • Ghosting candidates

  • Running outreach while unavailable

  • Letting messages pile up


If you’re unavailable

If you’re:

  • On holiday

  • Busy with a full-time role

  • Temporarily unavailable

You should:

  • Pause outreach

  • Notify us if needed

  • Resume when ready

Unanswered candidate interest is bad for everyone.


Trust & transparency

LinkedIn outreach only works long-term if:

  • Talent Partners feel safe

  • Candidates feel respected

  • Platforms stay compliant

If something ever feels wrong:

  • Pause outreach

  • Contact the TechTree team

  • We’ll fix it quickly

We optimise for trust over volume.
