## What this case shows One in ten product managers contacted replied that they were interested. A double-digit interest rate came from writing to each person, not from sending more. For passive candidates, put salary and remote policy in the first email. It removes the back-and-forth that kills momentum. --- ## The full funnel ### Production data. Absolute counts. Contacted is the denominator for every percentage, and a person who appears under several roles is counted once. | Stage | Count | Of contacted | Step | |------------|-------|--------------|---------| | Contacted | 1,083 | 100% | - | | Opened | 611 | 56.4% | 56.4% | | Replied | 123 | 11.4% | 20.1% | | Interested | 108 | 10.0% | 87.8% | | Resume | 24 | 2.2% | 22.2% | Interview booking was not used by this account inside the window.

Recruiting cold outreach to product managers is often cited in a 1 to 5 percent reply band. This account ran at 11.4 percent reply. That is more than twice the top of the cited band. Metix has not published its own industry study, so this page does not treat 1 to 5 percent as a measured benchmark. #### Why is interest to resume only 22.2 percent here? Product managers who say they are interested still often skip a resume step, especially when they are not looking. The other accounts that ran a landing page converted interest to resume at 45 to 50 percent. This page reports the 22.2 percent rather than averaging it away. --- ## Against the other four ### Reply rate in this extract. Same scale as the hub chart, with this account marked.
