Hello Product Hunt! The team at Pathrise is so excited to launch the Career Connect extension, our first free product. Over the last 6 years, Pathrise has helped over 2400 job seekers land new roles. We’ve learned that nothing improves interviews rates more than strategic outreach to company insiders. Career Connect solves the hardest parts of outreach for job seekers: Finding the right contact to email and customizing the email message to optimize your chances of getting an interview, all with just a few clicks. Now you can send effective emails within a tenth of the time. Since launching Career Connect internally to our paid user base, our users have easily doubled their outreach volume. We wanted to open up this amazing product for free to help more job seekers. We hope you’ll test it out and share your feedback! Hope to hear from you there or in the comments.

@derrick_mar1 cool. Hope it actually works as predicted?!

BTW, where did you get the statistics and what was the sample size for @3x your interview rate” claim?

Derrick and our team have been super hard at work to release this. At this point, we've tested it across a few hundred job seekers and seen how much of a game changer it can be. We're really excited to open this up for anyone to use and benefit from!

We're hosting an AMA on LinkedIn here for those that have questions! https://bit.ly/career-connect-ama

This has been the culmination of a yearlong effort to build SaaS tools that consistently boost application-to-interview conversion rates. There were multiple different services that needed to be built in order to create this product, including: - A neural engine built from the ground up to identify and rank ideal contacts for cold outreach - A GPT-powered content generator to craft the perfect cold outreach email, given your resume and the job description - Custom code for company name to domain resolution - Mailer service using Google OAuth (took a year to get approved) - Building custom web scrapers for the top 10 job boards (and continually updating them as the sites change) Super fun project to work on, happy to see it through. This team was great to work with and I'm excited to see what they build next!

@garrett_clarke it was so fun to build this with you!

Congrats on your launch Derrick! Career Connect sounds awesome. So many times when looking for jobs, you just lose track of where you've applied, contacts, what you said where and who you've spoken to since. It's a minefield haha! Best of luck!!
Kelly Barber
@taibabosnic 100%! The pipeline feature with Career Connect makes it so much easier to see all of your applications and outreach in one place so you know when to follow up and so you can analyze what is and isn't working. We really hope it makes organization way more efficient for job seekers.

I'm excited to put this free product out into the world! It was such a blast to build. In the 5 years I've spent at Pathrise, it's always been clear to me that the number one problem with job searching is how time consuming it is. When done right, job searching can be a full-time job. In the current world of tech, most job seekers must treat their search like sales by developing strong prospecting strategies and custom pitches. Career Connect does this hard work for you. Can't wait to get your feedback!

Congrats on the launch!! The interview process can often be a numbers game and it’s great to have this to help job seekers navigate it!

I definitely need something like this, but I am currently using my iPad Pro as my “computer” and Chrome for iOS does not allow extensions!
Rachelle Gupta
Congrats on the launch! I feel like a lot of savvy job seekers use AI in their search and also use tools to identify contact information, but this makes things so drop-dead simple and I love it so much. It would be super awesome if if could also surface or try to find emails of 1st and 2nd degree connections based on Linkedin, but this is still amazing. Great job guys!
Derrick Mar
@rachelle_gupta1 yeah that's a great idea for a feature and it's on our roadmap. If you have any other ideas how to leverage 1st and 2nd degree connections for job search networking let us know!
Kelly Barber
@rachelle_gupta1 Yess love this idea, Rachelle. I'm hoping in a future iteration of the product we can also use connections to enhance the messaging content. For example, allowing users to input custom variables like "shared hobbies," "went to the same school," "both veterans," etc. The job search is so much more effective when you can connect with people as real humans.
Mahmoud Mohmmed
Wow, that's amazing! That puts cover letter to a whole new level! Simple question, it can be connected to any personal email right? and can I follow the reply on career connect also?

This is much needed and much missed in the job search - way to pioneer and break into this space, Pathrise!
Brian Wong
Congrats on the launch! The importance of getting yourself in front of the right people during the job search is huge. This combined with company and interview info is gamechanging.
Lily Porter
I've had such a hard time getting responses to my job applications. Excited to try this to save time!
Sam Finnigan
Easy to use. I like that it pulls in verified contacts if the hiring manager is already listed on the job description.
Jerry Buford
