Hiring managers or sales Vps?

I am approach my job search a bit like sales case. Is it productive to reach out to the top sales heads after CEO directly or should I just reach out to hiring managers / hr? Or both?

Of course I can always a/b test but maybe someone did this already and knows the real deal.

Multi-thread it, but always go to the VP or CRO. However, you get one shot. Be brief. Be specific. Be precise.

You can always dual path, and you look better for it in the end!

I always look for the best LI connection. Then I call the VP or similar person. A c-level is going to send you away.

I would think hiring manager as VP tends to have lots of other things on their plate and don't typically take the time to get too involved in early stage hiring (at least at larger companies)

I would say both and use LinkedIn to just ask if there is something available and that this is what you can do

More people better but only the relevant people respond but your never know that the c level people (thought won’t respond) might influence and ask the hiring managers to connect with you :) all the best

I got my new gig via LinkedIn inbound. Kept posting relevant sales content on LinkedIn for a year. With discipline. Got 6 job interviews in last 9 months, and got through one. Long-term game, but works.

Why not reaching all out and hear from both parties for your own favor,perhaps one of em might get you a better offer than the other:)
