In this short monologue, recruiting coach Richard Milligan recounts a real client situation where a candidate at the offer stage began ghosting the recruiter after another company entered the conversation. Milligan explains that he crafted a “Hail Mary” email that ultimately persuaded the candidate to sign the offer, which the client confirmed by sharing the signed offer letter. He frames the scenario as a common pain point for recruiting leaders—losing a near‑closed candidate—and promises to walk the audience through the exact email tactics that can re‑engage a wavering candidate and secure the hire.
