Hook: Fan membership funnels convert casual interest into commitment. Apply the same automated funnels to candidate nurture and you’ll see higher conversions from passive talent pools.
Core mechanics
- Trigger-based sequences (event attendance, micro‑trial completion).
- Tiered content — educational, social proof, then CTA.
- Fast micro-commitments: a 2‑minute application form beats 20 fields.
Implementation checklist
- Map candidate journeys and define triggers (e.g., event RSVP, portfolio view).
- Design a three-email drip: value, trust (social proof), and CTA (trial invite).
- Use short-form work trials as micro-commitments; reference playbooks like Hyperlocal Drops & Micro‑Popups for conversion design.
