!process do referrals still help?

[rain goblet]

cold mail ftw

[late nacelle]

elaborate

like cold emailing who

[rain goblet]

so the process I follow is I gather all the recruiters' email from apollo.io, make a list, export that list and bomb all of their inboxes

sometimes Hiring Managers too.

[late nacelle]

💀

doesn't that only help expedite your process?

im curious how increase my chances to get the OA and then the first interview

[rain goblet]

nah, I got all of my interviews like this

I'm talking 100s of people per company

[late nacelle]

wdym

and which companies?

[exotic adder]

Do you do this for a particular job role or like when the market was right?

[rain goblet]

for example, google posted SDE role, I apply w referral/ without referral. I go to linkedin, search and filter recruiters, apollo extension gets me contacts, I add them in the list and export the list, and let them know that I applied for this role, here is my profile and I am looking for next steps and it works

companies have 100s of recruiters across the states

there’s a slim chance even 10-12 will notice your mail

[cyan portal]

companies have dedicated recruiters for new grad applications, a lot even assign those recruiters to specific geographic regions or target schools

[cyan portal]

referrals help if your friends are actually willing to help introduce you to important ppl behind the table, not if they just write your name on a form

ask your friends for their recruiters emails

[rain goblet]

true

[late nacelle]

interesting

is it kinda weird to randomly email a recruiter's email tho, when their email isn't really supposed to be that public?

like do you need to explain how you got their email

[cyan portal]

the bigger the company, the less weird it is

[late nacelle]

makes sense ig

so I guess what im getting is,

apply with referral (preferable) or without --> then email recruiter letting them know you applied, providing your profile, and asking for next steps

what kind of profile do you provide, your linkedin and resume?

and should you email multiple recruiters at the same company, or just one for each company?

[rain goblet]

I generally attach my resume and share a link to my personal website and a summary of my work and stuff. Keep it simple and concise coz nobody wanna read 4 paragraphs about a guy they don’t even know.

[rain goblet]

I emailed around 250 people at google

[late nacelle]

how'd that go

[rain goblet]

got interviewed

😂😂

I didn’t pass the interview that was another thing

[late nacelle]

damn ggs lol

how many of the recruiters responded out of the 250 google emails lol?

[rain goblet]

none💀

except 2 guys who just tolf

[late nacelle]

so then is getting the interview unrelated to those 250 emails

[rain goblet]

that they passed my info to relevant sour

sources*

[late nacelle]

hm

what about sending an email to the general recruiting email

does that help?

[rain goblet]

never tried it

tbh

[rain goblet]

I mean for google idk, but it worked for all other companies

they won’t necessarily reply, but you’ll be noticed ig

[late nacelle]

i guess it doest hurt

or it might bc a recruiter might find it annoying ("oh I get 1000000s of emails a day")

idk

[fossil garnet]

some companies it matters a lot some companies not at all
