After helping 2,600+ people land their dream jobs, we’ve found that reaching out to recruiters is one of the most effective tactics in today’s hypercompetitive job market. Sending a personalized message to a recruiter can 3x your application response. We’re pleased to announce the launch of our Recruiter Guide platform to help you connect with recruiters and get interviews.
Today’s recruiters are extremely busy and already overwhelmed with messages. Job listings at FAANG companies seem to get hundreds of applicants as soon as they’re posted. Most resumes get thrown out almost instantly. It can feel like you’re sending your applications into a black hole, never hearing from recruiters personally.
To help you escape the application pile and get in front of recruiters, we’ve launched a “Recruiter Guide” platform. Our guides show the best way to contact recruiters at top companies so you get a response. We’ll show you what recruiters at specific companies like Apple and Amazon are looking for, so you can contact recruiters who actually want to hear from you.
Insider Information on the Recruiting Process
Our guides offer insight into the unique recruiting process at different companies. Did you know that Amazon recruiters put an extreme emphasis on cultural fit? Or that Netflix Recruiters are usually seeking highly experienced candidates with 8 years of experience? Our Recruiter Guides give you the inside scoop on the recruiting processes at the top companies. When you understand how the recruiting process works, you’ll know which roles to apply to and when to contact recruiters to have the best chance of getting an interview.
Find the Right Recruiters to Contact
Top companies like Meta employ hundreds of recruiters. Job seekers often reach out to hiring decision makers who have nothing to do with their desired role. This can leave them feeling like recruiters don’t want to connect. But if they could find the right recruiter who was interested in hiring for the role, the job seeker would probably hear back. Our Recruiter Guide breaks down the different types of hiring decision makers at your dream company–then shows you which recruiter you should contact first. You can also use our app, Career Connect to automatically find a list of recruiters to contact based on a job listing.
Email Addresses for Recruiters at Your Dream Company
Cold emailing recruiters can sound spammy, especially if you don’t have anything in common with the recruiter. But reaching out to recruiters is still one of the most effective ways to stand out and land an interview.
Our Recruiter Guides will show you how to find email addresses for recruiters at top companies like Amazon and Apple. We’ll show you the email format used in different companies, as well as tools to test email addresses to avoid emails bouncing.
Cold Email Templates Tailored to Get a Response
Recruiters are extremely busy–they can only spend about 7 seconds looking at a resume, on average. Sending a cold email template from our Recruiter Guides can double the time your resume spends in front of the recruiter. Our fellows often get 3x more application response rates from reaching out to recruiters with our data-backed emails. If you’re too busy to customize a template, you can also use AI to generate a networking email for you based on our data.
Find What Recruiters at Top Companies Are Looking For
Recruiters are often seeking highly specific keywords based on their company and the role’s responsibility. Our Recruiter Guides show you exactly what recruiters at specific companies are seeking in candidates. That way you can list what the recruiter is seeking, such as cultural fit, in your resume and networking emails.
What Companies are Hiring or in a Hiring Freeze
If a company isn’t hiring or going through layoffs, you could be wasting your time networking with recruiters. But if a company is actively seeking talent, you’ll find more roles and recruiters who actually want to connect with you. Our guides will tell you if a company is in a hiring freeze or if they’re actively seeking talent.
