Why Automate Your Outreach?

Most job seekers spend 40 hours a week applying for jobs. Automation can reduce that to 4 hours, giving you more time to actually prepare for the interviews you'll be booking.

Step 1: Finding Your Targets

Use LinkedIn to find internal recruiters and hiring managers. Don't just apply to the job; find the person behind the job.

Step 2: The Perfect Sequence

A single email is rarely enough. A 3-step sequence is optimal:

  1. Initial Outreach: The "soft ask" and value proposition.
  2. The Bump: A friendly follow-up 3 days later.
  3. The 'Break-up' Email: A final check-in 7 days later.

Step 3: Track and Optimize

Watch your open rates. If they are below 40%, your subject line needs work. If your reply rate is low, your message is too long or not personalized enough.
