Job Searching the old way is broken - here's why
1. Missing Out
According to SHRM, 80% of jobs are filled before they are posted publicly. If you aren’t in touch with hiring managers directly, then you’re surely missing out on opportunities.
2. Being Invisible
According to Employ’s Hiring Benchmarks Report, the average job posting receives 257.6 applications. You are competing against hundreds of applicants!
3. Ghosting
According to CareerPlug’s 2025 Recruiting Metrics Report, the average applicant-to-interview rate is just 3% — meaning almost every application goes nowhere and you never hear from employers.
Sending more isn’t the fix.
STAND OUT
Connect with Hiring Managers
While everyone else applies to the same posting, you’re already in a direct conversation with the person who’d actually hire you.
- Finds companies hiring - before the listing goes public
- Personalized outreach, not a templated application
- One email to one hiring manager, not one of 257 applicants
BETTER ODDS
Get Real Responses
A relevant email to an actual hiring manager has a real chance of being read. An application sitting in an ATS queue may never reach a human at all.
- Verified hiring manager contact, not a generic inbox
- AI-personalized message, tailored to their company
- Sent when they're most likely to actually see it

See every company, email, and outreach status in one place, so you always know what’s moving and what needs attention.
- Every company added to your tracker automatically

Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on your target role, location, and experience. Frontrunners typically identifies hundreds – often thousands – of relevant companies and gradually sends personalized outreach to hiring managers based on your sending preferences.
Many do – especially when the message is relevant, personalized, and reaches them before a role is flooded with applicants. Frontrunners helps you contact the right person with outreach tailored to your background, increasing the chances of starting a meaningful conversation.
No. That’s the point. Frontrunners finds the hiring manager for you, even if you’re starting with zero connections.
Yes — outbound works especially well here, because it lets you make the case for your transferable experience directly, instead of hoping a keyword-matching resume filter agrees with you.
