I wish this article got into:
1. how to find the hiring manager for a role (take a wild stab on LinkedIn)?
2. after that, reach out to them directly on LinkedIn and reference the job listing? Attempt to guess their email format and cold email?
- mxuribe 9y agoI think if your item #1 were a reality, HR departments would mysteriously get more jobs filled quicker, and with likely more appropriately-matched candidates. And, yet, HR systems and processes seemed designed as the article notes, to block the "flood" of candidates. It is silly really, and I agree with you 100%!
- littleweep 9y agoAlong the same vein, how do you even address a cover letter if you don't know the name of the hiring manager? I always felt like "To the Attention of the Hiring Manager" was cheesy and impersonal.
