About Quinset
Quinset: Email deliverability for recruitment agencies
If your open rate “dropped”, chances are it didn’t drop. It became honest. We help recruitment agencies get back to reliable inbox placement without gimmicks, black-hat tactiocs, or “just send more”.
Quinset specialises in deliverability for recruitment: the messy reality of CRM data, candidate fatigue, tracking bloat, link reputation, and domains that have had a few too many “urgent vacancies” in their time.
What we do (in plain English)
- Deliverability audits — we find what’s blocking inboxing: authentication, reputation, list hygiene, content signals, and sending behaviour.
- Fixes that stick — SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment, DNS hygiene, bounce handling, throttling, segmentation and cadence.
- Recruitment-safe sending patterns — so you can keep business development moving without burning your domain.
- Ongoing monitoring & advice — we keep an eye on what mailbox providers are reacting to and help you stay out of trouble.
Quick definition: Deliverability is simply how often your email lands in the inbox (not spam), consistently.
Why it matters: More replies, more booked calls, fewer “we never got it” moments, and a domain that doesn’t quietly rot.
Why recruitment agencies pick Quinset
- We speak recruiter: CRM quirks, old lists, new starters blasting sequences, and “one more follow-up” syndrome.
- No fluff: practical fixes you can implement with your current tools.
- We challenge behaviour, not just settings: most deliverability problems are behaviour problems wearing a technical hat.
Common problems we fix
- Sudden drop in opens/clicks, or “0 opens” that magically coincides with tracking changes
- Outlook spam placement, Gmail “Promotions” creep, or intermittent blocking
- High soft bounces, throttling, or unpredictable delivery times
- Shared sending set-ups that drag you down with someone else’s behaviour
- New domains/subdomains that never really “warm” properly
Reality check: “Warmup tools fix reputation.” Not on their own they don't. They can mask symptoms. Reputation moves when real recipients find your email useful, expected, and safe... and mailbox providers see that consistently.
How Quinset works (typical engagement)
- Baseline check: authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), domain/IP reputation indicators, bounce data, sending patterns.
- Message + link review: content signals, tracking redirects, link reputation, unsubscribe placement, “too much too soon”.
- List + segmentation: reduce risk by tightening targeting and removing dead weight.
- Sending plan: cadence, throttling, ramping, and safer sequencing.
- Monitoring: interpret mailbox signals (e.g., Google Postmaster Tools, GlockApps) and keep you stable.
What good looks like:
- Consistent inboxing to your main mailbox mix (Gmail/Microsoft/Yahoo/Apple)
- Low complaint rates, controlled bounces, stable delivery times
- Tracking that doesn’t spook filters
- Clear opt-out and clean list management
A few watch-outs (recruitment-specific)
- Over-tracking: it’s not “more data”; it’s more reasons to be filtered.
- Shared cold domains: quick wins that often become long-term pain.
- Big blasts after quiet periods: reputation hates whiplash.
- Old lists: engagement decay is real; sending to the unresponsive drags everything down.
Compliance (UK) — the practical version
We’re not lawyers, but we keep you sensible: UK PECR/GDPR basics matter. Cold B2B outreach may be possible under legitimate interest, but relevance, transparency, and an easy opt-out are non-negotiable. Tight segmentation reduces risk (and improves replies).
FAQ
Do you work with our CRM / sending platform?
Yes. The principles are the same: authentication, reputation, list hygiene, content signals, and behaviour. We adapt the plan to your stack.
Can you “fix Outlook spam”?
Often. But it’s rarely one magic switch. We’ll look at SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment, sending patterns, bounce handling, content and link reputation, and what Microsoft is signalling back.
Do we need a new domain?
Only in the rarest of cases. Sometimes a reset can help, but often you can recover by changing behaviour and cleaning up the technical basics. If a new domain/subdomain is needed, we’ll do it cleanly and warm it without games.
What’s the fastest win?
Stop feeding the dead: suppress unengaged contacts, reduce risky tracking/redirects, and stabilise cadence. Then fix authentication/alignment properly.
Glossary (tiny, useful)
- SPF: tells receivers which servers are allowed to send for your domain.
- DKIM: a digital wax seal that proves the message wasn’t tampered with.
- DMARC: tells receivers what to do if SPF/DKIM don’t line up and gives you reporting.
- Throttling: when receivers slow you down because they don’t trust your sending patterns.
