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.

job market is brutal right now! need more tech like this
@oleg_sobolevCouldn’t agree more, Oleg. That’s why we wanted to build something that gives job seekers back control and structure, instead of endless chaos. Thanks for the encouragement!

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
ok the workday autofill thing genuinely made me laugh because we've ALL been there. filling out a form with info that's literally already on the resume you just uploaded lol. clean solve, gl with the launch
@spunchev Serge, exactly 😂 Uploading a resume and then manually retyping the same experience into Workday is one of the most painful parts of job hunting.
That repetitive work is exactly what we wanted to remove first. Appreciate the support!
@spunchev Haha exactly, the "please retype everything you literally just uploaded" ritual is a special kind of pain. Glad the autofill made you laugh instead of rage-quit the form 😄 thanks for the good vibes!
@spunchev Ha, exactly the reaction we were hoping for. Uploading a resume and then retyping the same 20 fields by hand never made sense. Glad it landed, appreciate the good luck.

Congratulations on the launch! Building from personal experience is often how the best products are born.
@hamletina_tonakanyan Thank you, Hamletina! Absolutely! The best solutions come from feeling the pain firsthand :) Living through the exhaustion of messy spreadsheets and endless browser tabs is exactly what drove the design. Really appreciate your support and wishing you the good luck with your Project as well!
@hamletina_tonakanyan thank you so much - really appreciate it!
And I completely agree. HirePilot came from experiencing the job search pain personally: repetitive applications, scattered tracking, and sending resumes without knowing if anyone would ever see them.
We’re trying to turn that frustration into something more structured and useful for people going through the same process.

The product looks solid and clearly solves a problem for many in the market - all in one convenient place.
I wish you success!
Thanks Mikalai. Really appreciate that. Wishing you success too.
Great idea — HirePilot could save job seekers a lot of time by combining applications, tracking, and outreach in one workflow.
@boyok Andrii, couldn’t have said it better. That was the core bet from the start, as you know: applications, tracking, and outreach shouldn’t be three separate workflows when you’re trying to move fast in a hard market.
