MatchMaker Sequences: Automated follow-ups that know when to stop

09 October 2026

Keep candidates engaged with perfectly timed emails that run themselves, and check status and consent before every single send.

How many great candidates slip away because a follow-up email never got sent?

Consistent follow-up wins candidates, but doing it by hand is slow, easy to forget, and risks emailing someone who has asked you not to. That's why we built MatchMaker Sequences.

🔁 Plan once, follow up automatically

Build a Sequence of emails, set how long to wait between each step, and MatchMaker takes care of the timing. Send it to a single candidate, or select a whole saved set from candidate search and send it to everyone in one go. You can even start Sequences automatically with MatchMaker Automate.

🛡️ Consent checked every time

Before each step sends, MatchMaker checks the candidate. If they have a status such as DATA REMOVAL REQUEST, or haven't consented to marketing or service comms, the Sequence stops automatically. You decide what happens next: update their status, add a follow-up to the consultant's diary or launch an automation.

📊 See exactly what's happening

The new View Active Sequences screen shows every Sequence that's running, what's been sent, what's queued and when the next step is due. Every email is added to the contact log, with automated read receipts so you can see who's engaging.

💡 Sequences you could build today:

  • Welcome new registrations with a series introducing your agency
  • Keep available temps warm with regular updates about new work
  • Nudge candidates to keep their availability up to date
  • Re-engage candidates you haven't spoken to in a while

And there's more to come: Sequences for clients and contacts are on the roadmap for Q4 2026.
