Write to a recruiter who has never heard of you.
Say the job, the company and the two things that make you a fit. You get a short, specific email that is easy to answer, whether you have already applied or not.
How it works
- Choose your situation: after applying, before applying, or with a referral.
- Enter the job, the company and the recruiter's name if you know it.
- Give two real strengths that match the job.
- Send it, then follow up once after about a week.
Questions people ask
Do cold emails to recruiters work?
Sometimes. Short, specific messages that show you read the job get more replies than long, general ones.
How do I find a recruiter's email?
Look on LinkedIn, the company's careers page or the job posting. Never guess addresses in bulk.
How long should it be?
Under 120 words. One idea, one ask.
