What this case shows
In cold outreach, deliverability is the advantage.
Deliverability is infrastructure: warmed sending pools, per-account rate limits, health monitoring. Building that yourself usually takes months.
Solve getting seen first. Personalization only matters after that. A 62.5 percent open rate is what makes a 9.2 percent reply rate possible.
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.
Contacted 1,299 100%
Opened (pixel) 812 62.5% · step 62.5%
Replied 119 9.2% · step 14.7%
Interested 98 7.5% · step 82.4%
Resume 45 3.5% · step 45.9%
Width uses a square-root scale so a 2 percent stage is still a slice, not a hairline. The count is the fact. Opened is hatched because it is a tracking pixel.
Per 100 people contacted
- 3 resume
- 5 interested, no resume
- 1 replied only
- 91 no reply
One cell is one person out of 100 contacted. Cells are exclusive: a resume is not counted again as interest.

FAQ
How to read this account.
Should I treat 62.5 percent open as proof the mail was read?
No. Open rate uses a tracking pixel. Prefetch can fire it without a human reading the mail. Use reply, interest, and resume to decide. Those are 9.2 percent, 7.5 percent, and 45 resumes on this account.
Is this the same as the 55-role account?
No. That account ran many functions for seven months. This one hired engineers over two months. Both are anonymized company accounts. Neither is a named logo.
Against the other four
Reply rate in this extract.
Same scale as the hub chart, with this account marked. The 55-role account is the largest by volume and the lowest by reply rate, and nothing in the set is dropped.

- Many roles at once
7.3% - Hard-to-reach PMs
11.4% - No recruiter on staff

A dot, not a bar. Axis goes to 12 percent. This account is the filled mark.
The other four
Same extract. Different constraint.
Case 01 · 7 months
Many roles at once
One hiring owner running dozens of cross-functional roles, capped by manual outreach.
Read the funnel →
Case 02 · 6 weeks
Hard-to-reach PMs
Hiring product managers, the hardest group to reach. Strong PMs rarely look.
Read the funnel →
Case 03 · 6 weeks
No recruiter on staff
No recruiter on staff. Hiring managers had no time to source, reach out, or chase resumes.
Read the funnel →
Case 05 · two rounds
A role they ran twice
A scarce hybrid role with almost no inbound, needing a play they could run again.
