Let me know if you throw in an app!

:)

Just dug into it! Looks like you've done a lot and are a senior eng with a lot of experience - your in one of the most sought out roles so I'm unsurprised that you get a bunch of interviews consistently, and probably wouldn't be a fit for the tool.

Do you like the companies you get interviews at?

Really good questions and pushback. Thank you.

I've worked with people with 0-15 years of experience across completely different roles and industries.

I look for yes's to the following questions (as well as a few others):

1. Is this person competent in their target role? 2. Does this person lack a sales and marketing background (this costs you a few months more of job searching, lower offers, etc.)? 3. Does this person lack time and energy (e.g. if you're full-time at a company, you probably don't have the time to apply to jobs)? 4. Does this person value their time a lot? (Landing interviews can take several hours a month - some people would rather spend that time in other places).

All 3 is accurate. 1. Paid service 2. Monthly subscription so yes 3. Yes! We're results based so if we move forward with someone we can't help, we lose a lot of $$.

These questions are super helpful for telling me what to optimize - thank you for the feedback.

Super interesting. What's your background? Are you an engineer?

Totally fair and really appreciate the honest feedback.

The idea is the candidate puts 0 time and effort in.

My team does A LOT on the back end.

I should probably make this clearer from the landing page.

Does that make sense?

Right now candidates! My background is in sales and marketing so I'm better at helping candidates that I am at screening candidates.

In the future, I'll start helping businesses too.

Yep! That's part of the screening process. I'd love feedback. What are your thoughts on the survey?

Hey! Really good pushback.

1. RE icloud email: That's his personal icloud email so it's unassociated with Apple.

2. RE is this a funnel into the tweet thread: Nope. I do think that's a really good strategy but doesn't tend to work for the best companies.

The main difference with this new approach is we write super tailored messages for you and go for decision makers, whereas the crunchbase approach I published is non-personalized and targets generic company email addresses.

Does that make sense?

Haha - AI helps. We write tailored messages ourselves though. It's hard to replace super tailored well thought out messages with machines.

eh. not necessarily.

many more exist IMO and biz model is much more proven

just a friendly reminder that you do not need to build a billion dollar startup to achieve wealth & status.

sometimes building something that makes 1-2mn a year is the right move.
