Maybe it's a bit of a dumb question, but I am still a bit confused about how external hunters work.

Does the product have a higher chance of getting promoted if hunted by someone outside the team?

How to find them? Do you need to reach out to them directly and ask about hunting your product?

Sometimes I wish I had a clear answer to this question, but... I don't :D

A lot of people ask me in DMs what to do and when the best time to start.

When checking things off my launch list, I got to the email marketing part, where I started to think about building an onboarding email sequence and maybe job search tips (the product we're launching soon is a job search agent).

However, my co-founder said that it probably doesn't even matter because people don't read newsletters anyway. Probably now even less than before because content can be easily generated, and thus, losing its value.

You ve probably heard about multiple tools that offer to generate a custom CV/cover letter for a specific job you re interested in. Sometimes, they will also offer to send CVs for you. You don t have to be in the loop at all.

And I get why people are doing that. With some companies starting to use things like "asynchronous video interviews (where candidates answer questions on a video without a recruiter), it is almost impossible to pass without ChatGPT prep.

I ve always wondered how different cultures, companies, or individuals approach financial transparency in business. Some stay silent, others overshare.

Here are some trends I ve noticed:

I am launching a product soon and trying to select the best email stack. I am currently between MailerLite + MailerSend and Loops, both seem to have a good UX. For auth emails, using Supabase for now.

What's important for me:

• Low-risk, paying only if the project will actually gain users.

• Possibility to send a custom "Best matches" email that can be sent weekly automatically
