Direct and specific
Hi [First name], I noticed [their company] is hiring on your team, and the [common ground] part is exactly where I've spent my career. Rather than let my application sit in a pile, I wanted to introduce myself. Open to a short conversation?
Lead with relevance
Hi [First name], I've worked on [common ground] for several years and your team's approach to it is what drew me to the role. I'd love to share how I think I could help. Would a brief chat be welcome?
Humble and warm
Hi [First name], I know hiring managers get a lot of these, so thank you for reading. The role on your team lines up closely with my work in [common ground], and I'd be glad to tell you why I think it's a strong fit.
Messaging a hiring manager directly can lift a strong application out of the pile, but only if the message is specific and respectful of their time. Lead with the overlap between their team's work and your actual experience.
Do not ask the hiring manager to do your reading for you. Make the connection between you and the role obvious in a sentence or two, and offer a short conversation rather than asking them to review your CV on the spot.
Warmth and humility go a long way. Hiring managers field a lot of these messages. A plain, sincere note that respects that reality stands out more than a confident sales pitch about yourself.
Quick tips
- Name the role and the specific overlap with your experience.
- Offer a short conversation. Do not ask them to review your CV in the message.
- Be warm and brief. Hiring managers get a lot of these.
