O1DMatch Outreach Field Manual

Single reference for employer, recruiter and partner outreach. Everything in here is copy-paste ready. Nothing needs customising unless a bracket says so.

Version 1.0 — assembled from campaign context, live outreach drafts, and the employer / recruiter / Dux-Soup training recordings.

PART 1 — THE STRATEGY

1.1 The primary ask

Get employers to post jobs on the platform for free, or get permission to post their existing openings on their behalf.

That is the ask. Not "buy something," not "hire an O-1 candidate today." We need job volume so the talent pool has somewhere to apply, and every posted job is a logo, a contact and a reason to call back later.

The hiring pitch is the explanation for why they should agree, not the ask itself. Lead with the small ask. The big one follows on the call.

Ask ladder, in order of friction:

AskFrictionUse when
Permission to post their existing openings for usLowestCold, no relationship, small company
Post their own jobs freeLowCold, they have an active careers page
Look at one specific candidateLow-mediumYou have a named active-subscription person who fits
Fifteen-minute callMediumThey engaged, or they are senior enough to need it
Sign up for the platformHighestWarm only, after a call

Never open with the highest rung.

1.2 The second-best ask

Reaching out on behalf of a named candidate converts better than generic outreach. The employer sees a real person, a real profile and a real skill set rather than a hypothetical. If you are assigned an Active Match candidate, always prefer this angle.

1.3 What O1DMatch is

A software marketplace connecting US employers with O-1 visa talent. Not a law firm. Not a filing service. We have real human specialists who call and coordinate with employers on behalf of talent.

1.4 The mechanic — the one thing every message must convey

  • The employer never becomes the visa petitioner.
  • No USCIS filing fee, no labor condition application, no prevailing wage determination, no sponsorship program to build or maintain.
  • The employer signs a one-page interest letter confirming they would engage the person if work-authorized.
  • The candidate's case is filed through an authorized agent.

Supporting facts, use two or three per message maximum:

  • No annual cap, no lottery, no employer lock-in.
  • Fifteen days with premium processing, against six to twelve months on an H-1B.
  • The candidate can work for multiple employers simultaneously.
  • The H-1B filing fee reached 100,000 dollars in 2025; roughly three in four applicants lose the lottery anyway.
  • Three-year initial term, renewable. Spouse and children under 21 get O-3 derivatives.

1.5 Credibility block

Use when the recipient is senior, sceptical, or asks who is behind it.

Sherrod Seward is an immigration attorney with fifteen-plus years of agent-based O-1 and P-1 practice. He authored the chapter in AILA's official treatise on visas for artists, entertainers and athletes, and won First Round Management v. USCIS, which rewrote P-1 policy for unsigned athletes.

Roster, pick the two or three closest to their industry:

Team Canelo · Las Vegas Raiders · Green Bay Packers · LA Chargers · NASCAR · ONE Championship · Top Rank Boxing · NBA G League · ESPN · Netflix · Paramount Plus · Goldman Sachs · Insight Global

500+ candidates · 120+ companies · 40+ industries.

1.6 Hard language rules

These are not style preferences. Breaking them creates legal-scope problems.

Never saySay instead
"The candidate self-petitions""The case is filed through an authorized agent or petitioner. Your company does not file."
"No legal exposure""You are not the petitioner, you pay no USCIS filing fee, and you run no sponsorship process."
"Pre-vetted candidates""Candidates with profiles, evidence summaries and O-1 readiness indicators."
"AI-evaluated against USCIS criteria""AI-classified evidence and O-1 readiness scores."

Also:

  • Never guarantee or predict a visa outcome. Eligibility depends on the individual's own record against the USCIS criteria.
  • Never quote legacy pricing. The 8,000 dollar package, the 2,805 dollar premium figure and the 2,000 dollar petitioner tier do not appear anywhere public.
  • Never give legal advice in outreach. That is what the call is for.
  • Plain text feel, no emojis, ASCII characters only. Subject lines under 60 characters.

The legal read belongs to your attorney. The employer and itinerary problem belongs to O1DMatch.

PART 2 — DAILY WORKFLOW

2.1 The loop

  1. Source targets (Part 3)
  2. Qualify into strong / medium / skip (Part 4)
  3. Contact — LinkedIn connect note, then email once you have the address
  4. Route profiles to Jonalyn for email lookup
  5. Send email, BCC leads@o1dmatch.com
  6. Log and report

2.2 Two starting points

If you are assigned an Active Match candidate: search the three job portals for roles that fit that person specifically. Use the on-behalf-of-candidate template. Highest conversion.

If you are not assigned anyone: work by skill set — the categories we know we will have talent in. AI and machine learning, robotics, biotech, medical research, data engineering, creative and games. Generic templates.

2.3 Email lookup via Jonalyn

Collect three to five LinkedIn profile URLs at a time. Send in one message:

Subject: O1DMatch — email addresses needed

Can you find email addresses for these and reply here with them?

[profile URL] [profile URL] [profile URL]

CC leads@o1dmatch.com and Yusuf so both have visibility.

Before you send the list, Google each person. Personal websites, Substacks and company sites often carry the email directly, and finding it yourself is faster than waiting. Hide sponsored results when you search. This step also gives you the one specific detail that makes a message land.

2.4 Sending

Always send from the correct account — check the sender name reads O1DMatch before you hit send. BCC leads@o1dmatch.com on every outbound email.

2.5 Daily limits

  • LinkedIn: 40 actions per day maximum per account, and less on a newer account. Exceeding this is how accounts get restricted.
  • Connect notes: 300 character cap on free accounts.
  • Do not send the same person a connect note and an InMail and an email in the same week.

2.6 Reporting

Post daily to the O1DMatch Google Chat space, tagging Sherrod and Yusuf:

Outreach — [date]
Connects sent: [n]      Accepted: [n]
Emails sent: [n]        Replies: [n]
Calls made: [n]         Booked: [n]
Jobs posted / permission granted: [n]
Notable: [anything worth a follow-up]

Anything hot goes up immediately, not in the daily roll-up.

PART 3 — SOURCING

3.1 MyVisaJobs — primary source

Advanced search. Set industry, job title, and visa type to O-1 so results skew toward companies already familiar with the category. Return the top 250.

If a search returns nothing, widen the profession filter to "all" before narrowing anything else.

Each company record gives you: filing history, occupations sponsored, salary data, and named contacts with phone and email. Scroll to the contacts section and copy everything down to there.

Note the caveat printed on every record: listed contacts are authorized on labor certification matters and may not be the recruiter or hiring manager. In small companies they are often the founder or operations lead, which is fine. In larger ones, cross-reference on LinkedIn.

3.2 LinkedIn — contact discovery

Two uses.

Cross-reference: take a company found on MyVisaJobs, open its LinkedIn page, view People, and find whoever actually runs hiring. The visa-filing contact and the recruiter are frequently different people.

Direct search: search by role — recruiter, talent acquisition, head of people, HR business partner — filtered by industry and location.

Sort what you find:

  • In the US → US template set
  • Outside the US → non-US template set. Do not assume they are irrelevant; a Norwegian CMO may still be hiring into a US entity, and they may be O-1 eligible themselves.

3.3 Indeed and Dice

Search the skill set, not the company. Where the listing says "apply on company website," take the company name back to MyVisaJobs for contacts, then to LinkedIn for the recruiter.

3.4 Recruiters and staffing firms

Worth contacting in their own right. They sit on candidates they have had to reject for work authorization, and they have client relationships we do not. Treat as a partnership conversation, not a sale.

PART 4 — QUALIFYING A TARGET

SignalRead
Filed H-1Bs recently, still filingStrong. They have budget, need, and now a 100K problem.
Filed 2017–2022, nothing sinceStrong. They gave up on cost or the lottery. Our best story.

Small companies are fine. We take whatever jobs we can get. A three-person studio posting two roles is a win.

PART 5 — TEMPLATE BANK

Recruiter, straight intro (283)

I run O1DMatch — a marketplace connecting US employers with O-1 visa talent. Employers never file or sponsor anything; they sign a one-page interest letter. We're partnering with recruiters to place candidates who'd otherwise be passed over on work authorization. Would like to connect.

Recruiter, pain angle (262)

Connecting with recruiters. O1DMatch is a marketplace for O-1 visa talent — your client never files, never sponsors, never pays a filing fee. They sign a one-page interest letter. It makes the candidates you've had to pass on for work authorization placeable again.

Shortest, general (210)

I run O1DMatch — we place O-1 visa talent with US employers. Extraordinary-ability based, not investment based: no capital requirement, no lottery, no retrogression, 2–4 month processing. We're building referral partnerships with advisors abroad whose clients want US access. Open to connecting?

5.2 LinkedIn DMs — after they accept

US-based employer or recruiter

Thanks for connecting.

Quick context on what I do, since it touches a problem most companies have quietly given up on.

O1DMatch is a marketplace connecting US employers with O-1 visa talent. The mechanic is that the employer never becomes the petitioner. No filing fee, no labor condition application, no prevailing wage determination, no sponsorship program to maintain. The company signs a one-page interest letter confirming it would engage the person if work-authorized, and their case is filed through an authorized agent.

No annual cap, no lottery, fifteen days with premium processing instead of six to twelve months, and the person can work for multiple employers at once. The H-1B filing fee reached 100,000 dollars in 2025, which has taken it off the table for most companies entirely.

The immediate ask is small: we would like to post some of your open roles on the platform, free, so O-1 candidates can apply. No cost and no commitment on your side.

Open to that?

Sherrod Seward Founder, O1DMatch o1dmatch.com

Outside the US

Thanks for connecting.

Brief context on what I do, in case it is useful on either side of your work.

O1DMatch connects internationally accomplished people to US employers through the O-1 visa. The structure is unusual in that the employer never becomes the petitioner. They sign a one-page interest letter confirming they would engage the person if work-authorized, and the case is filed through an authorized agent. No sponsorship programme, no filing fee, no lottery, no annual quota.

That matters in two directions.

If you are hiring for a US entity or moving people into US operations, this removes the part that usually kills it. Processing runs fifteen days with premium handling, and an O-1 holder can work for multiple employers simultaneously.

And personally, the O-1 is worth understanding if you have ever considered a US base. The bar is evidentiary rather than reputational, and senior people often already meet it without realising the category exists. Published work, original contributions, awards, press coverage, judging roles, a critical role at a recognised organisation. I am an immigration attorney with fifteen-plus years of agent-based practice.

No pitch attached to this. If either angle is relevant, happy to explain how it works.

5.3 Employer emails

Template E1 — Free job posting (default cold email)

Subject: Post your open roles free — no visa process involved

Hi there,

Short note with a small ask.

O1DMatch is a marketplace connecting US employers with O-1 visa talent. We would like to post some of your open positions on the platform at no cost, so that candidates applying for O-1 visas can apply to them.

Here is why it is worth your permission. O-1 candidates need interest letters. An interest letter is one page on your letterhead saying you would engage the person if they were work-authorized. That is the entire lift. You are not the petitioner. You pay no USCIS filing fee. There is no labor condition application, no prevailing wage determination, and no sponsorship process to run. The candidate's case is filed through an authorized agent.

If one of them works out, you get the hire without sponsoring anything. If none do, you have lost nothing but the time it took to read this.

No cap, no lottery, fifteen days with premium processing, and an O-1 holder can work for multiple employers at once.

Can we have your permission to post a few roles?

Template E2 — Lapsed sponsor

Subject: The roles you stopped sponsoring in [YEAR]

[Name],

You filed [N] labor condition applications for [OCCUPATION] in [YEAR], and nothing since. I do not know whether that was cost, the lottery, or deciding it was not worth the process. All three are common answers.

Reaching out because there is a route that skips all of it.

O1DMatch is a marketplace connecting O-1 visa talent with US employers. You never become the petitioner. No filing fee, no labor condition application, no prevailing wage determination, no sponsorship program to maintain. You sign a one-page interest letter confirming you would engage the person if work-authorized. Their case is filed through an authorized agent.

[INDUSTRY ANGLE — see 5.6]

Practical differences from what you ran in [YEAR]: no annual cap, no lottery, fifteen days with premium processing, and the person can work for multiple employers at once. The H-1B filing fee reached 100,000 dollars in 2025, which is presumably not a number you want near a budget.

The immediate ask is smaller than it sounds — permission to post a few of your open roles on the platform, free.

Template E3 — On behalf of a named candidate (highest conversion)

[Name],

I have a specific person in mind for you, so this is not a generic note.

[CANDIDATE FIRST NAME OR DESCRIPTOR] is a [ROLE] with [ONE OR TWO CONCRETE CREDENTIALS — publications, shipped work, awards, senior role]. They are on our platform with an O-1 readiness score and a full evidence record, and they are actively looking at roles like the [SPECIFIC OPEN ROLE] you have posted.

The part that usually stops this conversation does not apply here. You would not be sponsoring them. You are not the petitioner, you pay no USCIS filing fee, and there is no labor condition application or prevailing wage determination. You sign a one-page interest letter confirming you would engage them if work-authorized, and their case is filed through an authorized agent.

No cap, no lottery, fifteen days with premium processing. They can also work for multiple employers at once if you would rather start part-time.

Happy to send the profile over. Want me to?

Template E4 — Small company / founder-run

Subject: Hiring internationally without the H-1B

[Name],

I run O1DMatch. Reaching out because [SPECIFIC OBSERVATION FROM THEIR FILING HISTORY], which for a company your size usually means the process was not worth the cost rather than that the need went away.

There is a route that skips it entirely.

We connect O-1 visa talent with US employers. You never become the petitioner. No filing fee, no labor condition application, no prevailing wage determination, no sponsorship program to run. You sign a one-page interest letter saying you would engage the person if work-authorized, and their case is filed through an authorized agent.

No cap, no lottery, and fifteen days with premium processing instead of six to twelve months. The H-1B filing fee hit 100,000 dollars in 2025, so for a small team it is effectively off the table now. This is not.

The other piece that matters at your scale: an O-1 holder can work for multiple employers at once, so you can bring someone on part-time or fractionally rather than committing to a full seat.

If you are hiring and running into work authorization as the blocker, happy to walk through it.

5.4 Recruiter emails

Template R1 — Full intro

Subject: Placing the candidates you have to pass on

Hi there,

Quick intro. I run O1DMatch, a marketplace that connects US employers with O-1-eligible international talent. We're building out recruiter partnerships and I think there's a fit.

The part that matters for your desk: the employer does not participate in the visa process at all. They are not the petitioner. No USCIS filing fee, no LCA, no prevailing wage determination, no sponsorship program to stand up. The candidate's case is filed through an authorized agent. The company's entire lift is a one-page interest letter confirming they'd engage the candidate if work-authorized.

No cap, no lottery, no employer lock-in. The candidate can work for multiple employers simultaneously, and premium processing runs fifteen days.

What that unlocks: every candidate you've had to disqualify because "the client doesn't sponsor" is placeable again. We can bring your existing pipeline onto the platform, or feed you candidates who already have evidence records and O-1 readiness scores attached.

We also have specialists who call and coordinate with employers directly, so the interest-letter conversation isn't something you have to run yourself.

Worth a short call?

Template R2 — Short

Subject: Your client doesn't file the visa

Hi there,

I run O1DMatch, a marketplace connecting US employers with O-1 visa talent, and we're partnering with recruiters right now.

The hook: your client never touches the visa process. Not the petitioner, no filing fee, no sponsorship. They sign a one-page interest letter. That's the whole ask.

Which means the candidates you've had to pass on for work authorization become placeable. We can route your existing pipeline through the platform or send you candidates who already have their evidence records built.

No cap, no lottery, and the candidate can work for multiple employers at once.

Open to fifteen minutes?

5.5 Foreign advisor / referral partner email

Send from a personal address or partnerships@, never info@.

Subject: The client who walked because the wait was ten years

Hi there,

I'm Sherrod Seward, founder of O1DMatch. We move extraordinary-ability talent into the US on the O-1 visa, and we're building referral partnerships with advisors and consultants outside the US.

Reaching out because if you're advising people who want to get into the United States, you're almost certainly losing some of them to structural problems that the O-1 doesn't have.

The O-1 is not a lighter version of the investment or employment routes. It's a different authority entirely — based on the person's track record, not their capital and not a sponsoring employer. No investment requirement. No annual cap or lottery. No per-country retrogression, so a client from a high-backlog country isn't waiting a decade. Processing runs two to four months, or fifteen days with premium processing.

Three ways it tends to fit an existing practice:

The bridge. Clients facing long green-card waits get working in the US in months while the longer-term case matures.

The alternative. Clients who balk at the capital or passive-investment structure get routed here instead of walking away from you entirely.

The accelerator. For high-backlog nationalities, O-1 into EB-1A often reaches a green card faster than the investment route does.

On our side, the employer doesn't sponsor and doesn't file — they sign a one-page interest letter. That removes the single biggest reason these cases stall.

We pay 20 percent recurring commission on referred client subscriptions, with indefinite attribution. Your own fees stay entirely yours.

If it's worth a look, reply "Interested" and I'll send the partnership presentation within 24 hours.

Sherrod Seward Founder, O1DMatch o1dmatch.com

P.S. The most common reaction we get from consultants: "I wish I'd had this for the client who walked two years ago."

Do not disclose referral mechanics, caps, payout frequency or contract terms in the email. Those are held for the presentation.

5.6 Industry angles — drop into any template

Games and creative

The O-1B covers arts and entertainment, and animators, character artists, concept artists and technical artists clear the evidence bar more often than studios expect. Shipped titles, credited work, industry awards, published art, festival selections. Our approved petitions run across Netflix, Paramount Plus and ESPN, so creative records are familiar ground for us.

AI and machine learning

AI and ML people clear the O-1 evidence bar more easily than almost any other field. Published work, original contributions, critical role at a recognized company, peer review, compensation above peers. Most senior AI engineers already meet the criteria without knowing the category exists.

Robotics and infrastructure

Deep learning, robotics and computer vision benches skew heavily toward foreign-born PhDs and postdocs, and early-stage companies are the least able to absorb sponsorship cost or a lottery. Work authorization becomes a structural constraint that caps the pool before sourcing even starts.

Biotech and medical research

Research roles map almost directly onto the USCIS criteria — scholarly articles, peer review, original contributions of major significance, critical role at a distinguished organisation. Postdocs and senior researchers usually meet three of the eight without realising it.

Sports and athletics

This is our deepest category. Approved petitions include Team Canelo, the Las Vegas Raiders, Green Bay Packers, LA Chargers, NASCAR teams, ONE Championship, Top Rank Boxing and the NBA G League. Sherrod won the case that rewrote P-1 policy for unsigned athletes.

PART 6 — OBJECTION HANDLING

"We don't sponsor visas." That is the point. There is no sponsorship here. You are not the petitioner, you pay no filing fee, and you run no sponsorship process. It is one page.

"The visa process is too complicated." This is not an H-1B. No lottery, no cap, and you are not the petitioner. All we need is a letter confirming you would engage the candidate if work-authorized. You are not sponsoring, you are signalling. Five-minute lift.

"We're not hiring right now." Understood. Interest-letter collection runs sixty to ninety days and petition build another thirty to sixty, so most companies set this up before they need it. Posting the roles costs nothing and keeps the option open.

"What does it cost us?" Nothing to look at the talent, and no USCIS filing fee because you are not the filer. Platform pricing depends on how you use it and I can walk through it on a call.

"How is this different from a staffing firm?" A staffing firm employs the person and bills you for their time, taking on the sponsorship and passing the cost through. Here the person is independently authorized to work for multiple companies. You engage them directly with no employment layer in between.

"What if the petition is denied?" You have not paid USCIS, filed anything, or taken on liability. The interest letter expresses intent, not employment. You move to another candidate. Your downside is materially smaller than H-1B sponsorship.

"What stops employers hiring your candidates direct?" Profiles are anonymised until an interest letter is sent. What you are getting is not a Rolodex, it is vetted candidate flow plus the agent-petition infrastructure that makes the hire actually happen.

"Are these candidates actually qualified?" Each has an O-1 readiness score from AI-classified evidence across the eight USCIS criteria, visible before you commit. You can filter for high scorers only.

"Send me information." Take the email, confirm the spelling, offer the call once as an alternative. Do not push twice.

PART 7 — AI CALL AGENT

7.1 Before dialling

  • The agent identifies itself as an AI assistant in the opening line, every call.
  • Business lines only. Screen out mobiles and residential numbers.
  • Call window 8am to 9pm in the recipient's local time.
  • Two attempts maximum per contact, then hand off to email.
  • Preference is still a human call. Use the agent for volume and first contact.

7.2 Base instructions

(Paste into the agent's system prompt once.)

You are an outbound scheduling assistant for O1DMatch. Your goal is to get permission to post the company's open roles on our platform, or to book a fifteen-minute call with Sherrod Seward. You are not closing a sale and you are not explaining immigration law in depth.

Identity. Open every call by identifying yourself as an AI assistant calling on behalf of O1DMatch. Never claim to be human. If asked directly, answer plainly and without apology.

What to convey. O1DMatch is a software marketplace connecting US employers with O-1 visa talent. The employer never becomes the visa petitioner. No USCIS filing fee, no labor condition application, no prevailing wage determination, no sponsorship program. The employer signs a one-page interest letter confirming they would engage the person if work-authorized. The candidate's case is filed through an authorized agent.

Supporting facts, use sparingly: no annual cap, no lottery, no employer lock-in; fifteen days with premium processing against six to twelve months on an H-1B; the candidate can work for multiple employers simultaneously; the H-1B filing fee reached one hundred thousand dollars in 2025.

Hard rules. Never say the candidate self-petitions — say the case is filed through an authorized agent and the employer does not file. Never say there is no legal exposure. Never guarantee a visa outcome. Never give legal advice. Never quote prices. Never describe O1DMatch as a law firm or filing service. If asked to be removed from the list, agree immediately, confirm it, and end the call without persuading.

Behaviour. Keep under two minutes unless they are engaged. Ask permission to continue within fifteen seconds. One idea per sentence, then pause. If you reach a gatekeeper, ask who handles hiring or talent and request a transfer or a name. Offer two specific time windows rather than asking open-endedly. If they prefer email, capture and confirm the address. Repeat any email or scheduled time back before ending.

Objections. [Paste Part 6 here.]

7.3 Per-contact block — fill in per dial

Number: [ ] Location and time zone: [ ] Context: [Company does X. Filing history: Y. This person's likely role: Z.]

Opening line: Hi, is this [NAME]? This is an AI assistant calling on behalf of Sherrod Seward at O1DMatch. Do you have about ninety seconds?

Hook: [ONE SENTENCE tied to their filing history or industry.]

Industry angle if they engage: [From 5.6]

If wrong person: ask who handles hiring or talent acquisition and whether you can be transferred or given a name.

7.4 Voicemail — twenty seconds, number twice

Hi, this is an AI assistant calling for Sherrod Seward at O1DMatch. We work with companies hiring international talent without any sponsorship burden — the employer never files the visa. We would like to post a few of your open roles on our platform at no cost. You can reach Sherrod at nine eight zero, four zero three, six five eight seven. That is nine eight zero, four zero three, six five eight seven. Thank you.
