The kit
Hiring Manager Cold Email Kit
Email the hiring manager, not the void: 32 AI prompts for short, human outreach that gets read. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, free tiers included.
Sold and delivered through Gumroad. This site doesn't host the files.
What's inside
- 32 workflow prompts in 7 stages: Prep → Find the person → First touch → Follow-ups → When they reply → Referrals → After the interview.
- "When to use" notes on every prompt, so you know which one to grab.
- Built-in guardrails: word caps, banned clichés, and rules that tell the AI to flag gaps instead of making up numbers or connections.
- Anti–AI-slop checklist: 10 checks to run before you hit send.
- 4 full example threads (engineering, marketing, operations, teacher → UX research) with subject lines, bodies, replies, and word counts. All fictional.
- Outreach tracker: columns, follow-up timing, and a ready-to-use CSV.
- Bonus: an offer talking-points prompt.
Files: PDF guide (20 pages), a plain-text prompt file for fast copy-paste, and the tracker CSV.
How it works
- Find your stage and copy the prompt into your chat AI.
- Fill in the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your real resume bullets, the role, and one true detail about the person or company.
- Edit a line or two so it sounds like you, then run the checklist.
- Send it yourself, and track your follow-ups.
Two setup prompts (Proof Inventory and Voice Sample) teach the AI your real facts and writing style once, so later drafts start closer to done.
Who it's for
- Mid-career professionals who want to reach the person who actually owns the hire
- Career changers who need to explain their fit honestly, without a fake title (see the career change guide)
- Recent grads who need short, credible messages instead of long cover letters
- Anyone who has applied online and wants a follow-up that actually gets read
What's not included
- No guaranteed interviews or replies. It's a writing system, not a promise. Results depend on your background, your targets, and the market.
- No contact lists or email-finding tools. You find the right person yourself (our finding guide is free).
- No AI subscription. You'll need access to a chat AI; free tiers work.
- No auto-sending. You review, verify, and send every message as yourself.
