In the second season of Hot Source our Co-founder and Developer Ben Ihle joins our Lead Developer Peter Klein to give a candidate’s perspective on outreach messages.
“The more I make that effort towards embedding myself, the more Hiring Managers can trust me to find those people.”
“I don’t want to be transactional, I want to be really intentional. I want anyone I’m reaching out to know I looked at their profile and got excited about them for A,B,C reasons and wanted to build a relationship with them.”
“What exactly is it that appeals to you…understanding their world, understanding their language makes a huge difference”

“I want to make it clear…Hiring Managers don’t have it all sorted out at the start too”
“it’s about giving them as much information as possible so they can easily make that decision”
