The problem it solves

You're spending hours scrolling job boards, then more hours trying to find the right person to ask for a referral, then more time writing a decent message for each one. By the time you're done with research, you barely have energy left to actually reach out.

Who it fits

Active job seekers who want a steady stream of leads and ready-to-send referral requests.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system pulls new job postings for your target roles
  2. It saves each listing to a spreadsheet with company and location details
  3. It looks up decision-makers at those companies
  4. AI drafts a short, personalized referral message for each contact
  5. The message is saved as a draft in your Gmail, ready to review and send
What you get

Referral leads found before you go looking

You get a steady stream of new job postings with a personalized referral message drafted and ready in Gmail.

What you get

A spreadsheet of job leads and contacts, plus ready-to-send draft emails in Gmail.

What you need

A Google Workspace account (Sheets and Gmail), an Apify account, a Gemini API key, and an email-finder subscription.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
