Find contacts at target companies and generate personalized outreach messages for connection requests, cold emails, and follow-ups.
How it works
The networking assistant has two parts: contact sourcing and message generation.
Contact sourcing searches public LinkedIn profiles for recruiters, hiring managers, and talent acquisition people at your target company. This is a best-effort search - it surfaces likely contacts but cannot guarantee finding a specific individual, and it is capped at a set number of searches per day.
Message generation creates personalized outreach messages based on the contact's role, company, and your profile. Messages reference your actual experience and the specific company rather than using generic templates.
How to use it
- Navigate to the Networking page in your dashboard.
- Enter a target company name and optionally a specific role or department.
- Review the suggested contacts.
- Select a contact and choose the message type:
- Connection request - 280 character limit (LinkedIn limit)
- Cold email - Full-length professional email
- Follow-up - A shorter follow-up after initial outreach
- Review and edit the generated message, then copy it.
- Toggle the "Sent" switch after sending to track your outreach.
What to expect
Messages are personalized to the specific contact and company. Connection requests stay within the 280-character LinkedIn limit. Cold emails follow a professional structure. Follow-ups reference the original outreach.
The sent toggle lets you track which messages you have actually sent, giving you a record of your networking activity alongside your application tracker.
Tips for best results
- Always personalize the generated message further. A good AI draft plus a personal touch outperforms either alone.
- Reach out to more than one contact at a company. A recruiter and a hiring manager often respond very differently.
- Send connection requests and follow up with a cold email if no response after a week.
Common issues
No contacts found for my target company.
The contact sourcing relies on publicly available LinkedIn data. Smaller companies or companies with strict privacy settings may not surface contacts. Try broadening the department or role filter.
The generated message sounds too generic.
Complete your profile - especially target roles and skills. The AI uses your profile data to personalize messages. A sparse profile produces generic output.
