Show HN: Apply for jobs by directly emailing relevant people at a company

rrajat-sr 1 day ago 5 commentsRead Article on dmtheboss.com

I created this tool that massively increases your chance of landing an interview by directly emailing the relevant people in the companies, making you stand out in the crowd of applications received on job portals. Simply enter the name of the company and position, the tool searches the internet for relevant people, gives you their emails and LinkedIN profiles and also lets you send them highly personalised emails right from your own email.

This is a great idea of course but it’s kind of hilarious because if your tool ever became even a little popular it would completely destroy itself. People will find a way to filter stuff like this out because it will be incredibly annoying.

You should add a “polite” setting if you don’t already have one that only searches for hiring managers and stuff. Maybe you’re already doing that though.

Be gentle. When I get an email like this, I appreciate the cleverness, but I direct the candidate to our normal intake process.

If they persist, it's an immediate no-hire. Can't Follow Instructions / Main Character Syndrome.

Same as others have said. Unless you're targeting single digit amount of people start-ups this is a bad idea.

This will probably hurt your chances, bypassing the normal interview process is usually frowned upon.

That sounds extremely annoying for the people receiving these emails, right?
