The advice is everywhere. Reach out to the hiring manager. Don't just be another resume in the pile. Make a human connection before the decision is made.
The data is clear too. LinkedIn research shows 85% of jobs are filled through networking. Candidates sourced directly are 8 times more likely to be hired than those who simply apply. Personalized outreach sees a 45 50% response rate versus 15 20% for generic messages.

Love the end-to-end flow! Feels like “CRM for job seekers” rather than another spray-and-pray tool. Curious which ATS mappings you’ve nailed at launch and how you keep outreach feeling personal at scale. Congrats on the drop! 👏
@mariaelenatzanev Thanks! HirePilot works with LinkedIn, Indeed, Workday, and Glassdoor. We’re adding more platforms soon, our goal is to make applications and outreach seamless across all major job boards.

What are some of the best outcomes you've driven here?
@shifra_williams Early testers say HirePilot helped them apply much faster and stay organized without messy spreadsheets or lost contacts.
When @vik_sh shared with me the link to HirePilot my expectations were low but once I started snooping around I realized this product has great potential. Keep up the good work, Viktor and looking forward to see where this is headed!
Jon, thanks for giving it a shot. Glad the first impression turned around. More features coming, stick around for the updates.

This does seem like it could help, considering the state the job market is right now.
Thanks Mary. Yeah, the market's rough right now, that's exactly why we built this. Hope it makes a real difference for you.

This is such a game-changer!
The auto-fill feature is my favorite; I can't imagine how many times I had to copy-paste information and then check every field again.
@sakina4 , autofill is exactly where this started for me personally. Copy pasting the same info into every form 50 times a day was the first thing I wanted to kill. Glad it's making a difference.
Job searching today means dozens of tabs, retyping the same info over and over, and resumes disappearing into ATS black holes.
HirePilot fixes that: one job board, autofill and AI outreach to reach real recruiters - all in one place.
I genuinely believe this can make job searching easier for people - it already has for some of my friends.
@maksym_dymytriiev1 Maksym, you got it!! The “dozens of tabs” problem is exactly what we kept seeing.
People don’t just need another place to find jobs. They need one workflow where they can discover roles, apply faster, track everything, and follow up with the right person before the momentum disappears.
Appreciate all the work you put into making that feel simple.
@maksym_dymytriiev1 So true, Maksym!! Job searching today can be absolute hell, honestly. That's exactly why we obsessed over creating a unified experience :)
@natalie_chelak Ha, "absolute hell" is putting it kindly 😅 spreadsheets, fifteen browser tabs, and a resume shouting into the void. If HirePilot can turn even a fraction of that chaos into something bearable, we'll call it a win.
Loving the energy on this thread!
@maksym_dymytriiev1 Haha, love it too! It’s just great to see we’re all completely on the same page here😅 Let's turn that chaos into a win! 🚀✨

Job applications and tracking are such a time sink! Looks really exciting :)
@shifra_williams Thank you! You’re absolutely right, most job seekers spend more time managing applications than actually applying.
@shifra_williams Thank you! Couldn't agree more, it's such a massive time sink. Two years ago I was job hunting myself: hundreds of tabs open, a messy Notion table trying to track everything, dozens of resumes sent into silence. It was exhausting. That experience is exactly why I wanted to build something that actually makes applying and tracking easier, for people going through the same thing I did
