If your recruiting team’s email bounce rates exceed 10% or recruiters spend more than 15 minutes researching each candidate’s contact information, they are losing important time. HR data may harm high bounce rates and harm your sender reputation, while missing job titles and company information result in generic messages that top candidates immediately ignore.
When your database is missing appropriate employment data, response rates drop below 5% because outreach fails to recognize candidates’ precise positions or career levels. The most telling sign is recruiter frustration with the repetitive data entry job rather than true connection building. Data enrichment tools save 85% of manual research time, allowing recruiters to focus on closing applicants instead of searching for contact information across multiple platforms.
