The best time to pitch a company is the week it posts a job

A job post tells you what a company is short of, right now, in writing. Here’s the 3-step playbook:

1. Jobs search: the role your product replaces or helps with, in your city. A company hiring SDRs needs sales help, and one hiring a photographer needs content.

2. The company list: read the companies off the results. Or switch to the Companies tab with “hiring now” plus a size filter (51 to 200 is where one decider still owns the budget).

3. The person: go to the company’s People tab and find who that hire will report to, like the Head of Sales. That’s the person you write to, about the job they just posted.
