Mr Arvind Sethi

Head of Talent Acquisition

Rudrangi Industrial Supplies

Subject: Application for Recruiter

Dear Mr Sethi,

Offer dropouts on my desk at Kiranvali Medisupplies fell from 22% to 11%, because I now call every selected candidate each week until joining day. That habit is what I would bring to the Recruiter role at Rudrangi Industrial Supplies.

I recruit in-house for a 900-person medical supplies distributor, carrying 18 open roles at a time across sales, warehouse and finance, all tracked in Zoho Recruit. In 2025 I made 85 hires, and 92% of my offers were accepted. Fixing interview slots with each manager before a search starts cut my average time to offer from 45 to 34 days. About 40% of my hires now come through Naukri Resdex, LinkedIn Recruiter and referrals, which saved about ₹18 lakh in placement fees.

Rudrangi's plan to build its own recruiting team is what draws me, because I have seen that move from both sides. I spent four years at Saptrishi Hiring Partners as a coordinator, a sourcer and then an agency recruiter, so I know what a placement agency is paid for and which parts an in-house team can do better. Eleven branches hiring the same sales and warehouse roles again and again suit the talent lists I learned to build as a sourcer. Making sure selected candidates actually join is the line in your advert I care about most: across a 30- to 90-day notice period, silence is what loses them.

My weekly notice-period call sheet and one-page intake form come with this letter, with names removed. Your branch managers could try either one on the next warehouse opening, which would give our interview a practical starting point.

Regards,

Shreya Bansal

Paragraph by paragraph

  1. The opening

    Starts: “Offer dropouts on my desk at Kiranvali…”

    Opens on the result an employer in a notice-period market worries about most, with the habit behind it, then names the role.

  2. Your strongest evidence

    Starts: “I recruit in-house for a 900-person medical…”

    Gives scale and output, then answers the intake and direct sourcing lines with figures, including the saving in rupees.

  3. Why this employer

    Starts: “Rudrangi's plan to build its own recruiting…”

    Ties the reason to the company's plan to stop relying on agencies, uses the agency years as proof, and answers the joining line in the advert's own words.

  4. The close

    Starts: “My weekly notice-period call sheet and one-page…”

    Sends two working tools the reader can test, and points the interview toward the employer's real hiring.

Why this letter works

  • The opening names the dropout result and the single habit behind it.
  • The evidence says the writer is in-house now, at a distributor of similar size, which an in-house team needs to know.
  • Agency years become the reason to hire, not something to explain away.
  • The close sends real tools instead of asking the reader to answer questions.

How to write your own recruiter cover letter

  1. Say whether you recruit in-house or for an agency, and for what size of employer.
  2. Give your hires for a year alongside your offer acceptance rate and your dropout rate.
  3. If the employer wants less agency use, show the share of hires you source directly and the fees saved.
  4. Turn agency experience into an advantage when a company is bringing hiring in-house.
  5. Attach a practical tool you use between offer and joining, such as a call sheet.

Common questions

Is agency experience a drawback for an in-house recruiter role?

Not if you frame it well. Agency years teach sourcing speed and how fees are earned, which helps a company that is moving hiring in-house.

Which recruiting figures belong in a cover letter?

Open roles at a time, hires in a year, offer acceptance, dropouts and time to offer. Two or three are enough; keep the rest for the interview.

Should a recruiter mention notice periods in a cover letter?

Yes, if you have a method for them. Long notice periods are where most offers are lost, so a hiring head reads that part closely.
