Frontrunners is a job search AI agent that helps you reach hiring managers directly at relevant companies. Instead of applying to 100s of jobs, that receive 1000s of applicants, it automates personalized outreach, often before roles are public. No more black-hole applications or ghosting. Frontrunners gets you direct conversations with hiring managers. Tell it the roles and companies you're targeting, and it finds the right decision-makers and crafts tailored, human-sounding emails for you.
— What if you could find your next job before it’s posted publicly?
Most job seekers compete for roles only after they appear on LinkedIn, Indeed, and job boards — when hundreds of other candidates may have already applied.
— Frontrunners takes a different approach.
It helps job seekers identify companies that are likely to be hiring, find the right hiring managers, and reach out with a tailored application before the job is publicly advertised.
— Background story
I’ve worked in Tech and Product Management for the past 15 years, in both startups and entreprise companies — and one key observation that stuck with me: the best hires almost never came through a job posting. They came from someone reaching out directly, at the right time, to the right person.
Every recruiter and hiring manager I talk to says some version of the same thing — "the good candidates never even see jobs posted."
Meanwhile, job seekers are stuck doing the opposite. Apply to a listing, get lost in an ATS with 400 other applicants, wait, hear nothing. Even when they do everything "right," they're competing in a channel that was never built for them to stand out.
So I built Frontrunners to flip that. Instead of applying after a role goes public, you set your target role and location, and your AI agent gets to work - discovering relevant companies, identifying the right hiring managers, personalizing your outreach, and automating the sending. Often before a relevant role is ever posted. No generic cover letters, no black-hole ATS.
A few things I'm proud of under the hood: 🎯 Our AI agent identifies the right hiring manager for your specific target roles, not just a generic HR inbox ✍️ Every message is personalized and you can review/edit before sending ⏱️ You reach the right person before the role is public
We're just getting started, and I'd genuinely love your feedback — especially if you've ever job hunted and felt like you were shouting into a void.
Happy to answer anything in the comments today, I'll be here all day 🙌
Amazing product, it takes the manual effort of finding hiring managers and actually goes the extra mile in actually helping you to track your messages to them.
Would be more interested in knowing how it differs from something like Apollo outside of being specific to the job market.
This seems a very promising idea. I have had manually reached out to recruiters and the process was so much tough and disappointing. I wish I had something like this when I had graduated. I will save this up!
Btw, does it also work if you are only targeting remote jobs?
So proud of what the team built here. If you're currently job hunting, give it a shot and let us know what you think! Less applying, more connecting :)
