Thoughts on cold-calling HR people/VPs/Directors when you find a place you REALLY want to work at?
Leaning towards a not yet approach.
- Linkedin request
- Linkedin message
- Another email
- Call
Bad idea?

Don't forget to apply too

your brain must weigh so much. as much as a tank

I would suggest call them first over any of the other tactics. Easiest way to get their attention + no one else does it. Shows massive initiative.
This right here. โ
Virtually revising my comment to include this.
Stop wasting time on HR/People folks and go right to the hiring manager or VP of the team youโll actually work for.

Great idea. This is how you separate yourself from the rest.
Calling HR I wouldn't recommend because it's rare they can actually do anything. VP's the success rate is likely not very high, but directors who are usually the Hiring manager I say go for it, they usually get off on that shit.
This is a great flow. I would just combine step 1&2. I like to reach out to the Hiring manager directly.
Go straight to hiring manager with a call. VPs and HR likely are outside of the process, so going straight to the source will be most helpful.
Are you looking to create a sequence or do you want us to rate the tactic in order?
That's just what I was thinking of doing. Critique away my friend
Apollo has pre-scripted sequences with some sort of claim about data-supported proper cadences. The can be a helpful time saver for building them anyway. I don't buy that there's any one better way than the others. Like, 2 emails vs 3 3 days apart vs 4 as long as you're hitting every channel consistently.
What you're doing looks sane to me

Shit- you meant the people AT the company you want to work for. I knew that. Fukkit. Not deleting. Most of it still stands and you know how to do this ๐
Outreach is outreach.
lovely. thank you
I message recruiters at places at I want to work at, especially if they post the role
The call first everything else after
go for it. Just be personable.
Do some solid research, apply, prepare a pitch not talking just about why their company is so great, but also why you would be a great add!
