What Verticals Do

Kolvera turns job ads into sales leads — but how you pitch depends on your business. A recruiter leads with a candidate. A B2B sales rep leads with a value proposition. An IT MSP leads with a capacity gap. Your vertical controls:

Priority

Which leads rank HOT — based on job recency

AI Emails

AI persona, framing, tone, and banned phrases per vertical

Campaign UI

Context card adapts — MPC for recruitment, offer for B2B, service for IT

Your workspace has a default vertical (set during onboarding). Each campaign can override it — so you can run recruitment campaigns alongside B2B sales campaigns from the same account.

Vertical Comparison

Recruitment Agency

The logic: Company posts a job ad = they need someone = they might need a recruiter. Your candidate is the hook.

How It Works

You scrape SEEK for roles in your niche (e.g. "Commercial Electricians in Sydney"). Kolvera ranks each lead by recency and enriches the hiring manager's email. You create a campaign with your MPC (Most Placeable Candidate) details — name, title, key skills. AI generates a 3-step sequence that introduces your candidate, follows up with a new angle, then sends a final nudge.

Example Sequence

Step 1: "Hi {first_name}, I've got a senior sparky with 15 years commercial experience — thought of {company} given your {job_title} role. Happy to send his profile across if useful."
Step 2: "Quick follow-up — he also has switchboard and PLC experience which I know is hard to find. Worth a 2-min chat?"
Step 3: "Last one from me — happy to email his profile over if a call doesn't suit. Cheers."

Best Search Configs

Target the specific role types you recruit. e.g. "Commercial Electricians", "Site Managers", "Mechanical Fitters". Exclude domestic, residential, and agency roles.

B2B Sales — General

The logic: Company is hiring = they're growing = they have budget and problems your solution can solve. The job ad is a growth signal, not a hiring need.

How It Works

You scrape for growth signals — companies hiring executives, sales teams, or operations roles. These indicate active projects and budget. You describe your product/service, value proposition, and target pain point. AI generates consultative emails that reference their growth and position your solution.

Example Sequence

Step 1: "Hi {first_name}, noticed {company} is scaling the team — we help mid-market companies like yours reduce churn 30% with our customer success platform. Worth a quick look?"
Step 2: "Saw that {company} recently posted for a {job_title}. When companies hit that growth stage, retention usually becomes the bottleneck. Happy to share how similar companies handled it."
Step 3: "Last note — happy to send a one-pager if a call doesn't suit. No pressure."

Best Search Configs

Target roles that signal budget: "CEO", "Managing Director", "Sales Manager", "Operations Manager". Companies hiring leadership are actively investing.

IT / Managed Services

The logic: Company hiring IT support, sysadmins, or security staff = they're trying to build internal IT = they either don't have an MSP or their current one isn't cutting it. Your service fills the gap.

How It Works

You scrape for IT-related hires — helpdesk, sysadmin, network admin, cybersecurity roles. These are companies struggling with IT capacity. You describe your managed service, specialties, and what you handle. AI generates emails that reference their specific IT gap and position your service as the alternative to hiring in-house.

Example Sequence

Step 1: "Hi {first_name}, saw {company} is looking for a {job_title}. Before you commit to a full-time hire, worth considering — we handle that exact function for 15 companies your size at a fraction of the cost."
Step 2: "Different angle — one thing most growing teams underestimate is security compliance. We include endpoint protection and patch management as standard. Happy to run a free 15-min IT health check."
Step 3: "Last one — happy to send our capability summary if useful. No obligation."

Best Search Configs

Target: "IT support", "helpdesk", "sysadmin", "network administrator", "cyber security". Exclude MSPs and IT consulting firms from results.

HR / Employment Law

The logic: Any company hiring has HR exposure — contracts, Fair Work compliance, WHS obligations. If they're hiring their first HR person, they probably don't have proper policies yet. Your consulting fills the gap.

How It Works

You scrape for companies hiring HR managers, WHS officers, payroll staff, or P&C roles. These signal people-related pressure. You describe your HR expertise and compliance focus. AI generates professional emails that reference a specific compliance risk relevant to their industry.

Example Sequence

Step 1: "Hi {first_name}, noticed {company} is hiring a {job_title}. Companies at your stage often have gaps in employment contracts and Fair Work compliance that create exposure. We help businesses like yours get that sorted."
Step 2: "Quick follow-up — with the recent Fair Work changes to casual conversion, a lot of companies are unknowingly non-compliant. Happy to run a free compliance health check."
Step 3: "Last note — happy to send a checklist of the top 5 compliance risks for growing businesses if useful. Kind regards."

Facilities / Commercial Cleaning

The logic: Company posting office-based roles (receptionists, office managers, admin staff) = they have physical premises = those premises need cleaning. The job ad proves the building exists and has staff in it.

How It Works

You scrape for office-based hires — office managers, receptionists, facilities roles. Medical, retail, and warehouse roles also signal premises. You describe your service type, coverage area, and specialties. AI generates practical, no-nonsense emails that reference their building type.

Example Sequence

Step 1: "Hi {first_name}, saw {company} is hiring in {state} — we handle commercial cleaning for offices your size in the area. Happy to do a free walkthrough and quote if you're reviewing providers."
Step 2: "Quick follow-up — we also cover window cleaning and carpet steam cleaning which most office cleaners don't include. Might save you managing multiple vendors."
Step 3: "Last one — happy to send our rate card for your area. No obligation. Cheers."

Custom

For any other B2B vertical. If your business can use "company is hiring" as a signal — accounting firms, insurance brokers, SaaS vendors, consultancies — Custom lets you configure everything manually.

Choose Custom if none of the five presets fit. You'll set your own email tone and campaign context. The AI adapts based on whatever context you provide in the campaign settings.

Switching Verticals

Workspace default: Go to Settings → Reset Onboarding to change your workspace's default vertical. This affects email config and campaign defaults.
Per campaign: Each campaign has its own vertical selector. You can run a Recruitment campaign and a B2B Sales campaign from the same account simultaneously.
What changes: AI email persona + framing, campaign context card (MPC vs Offer vs Service), search config templates, target titles, agency blocklist.
What doesn't change: Your leads, contacts, companies, and existing campaigns are unaffected by switching.
