Quick fill (optional)

How it works

1

Enter application details

Share the role, company, and when you applied.

2

Add your key qualifications

Highlight 2-3 reasons you are a strong fit for the role.

3

Get your follow-up email

Receive a concise email that checks on your application status while reinforcing your candidacy.

Why this matters

Applications disappear into ATS black holes every day. A follow-up email can surface your application to a real person. Many hiring managers appreciate the initiative — it signals genuine interest in the role rather than a spray-and-pray approach to job searching.

What you get

Application reference

Clearly identifies which role you applied for and when, making it easy for the recipient to find your application.

Qualification highlight

Briefly restates your strongest qualifications to reinforce your fit.

Professional persistence

Frames the follow-up as genuine interest rather than impatience.

Contact targeting

Helps you identify the right person to follow up with (recruiter, hiring manager, or HR).

Tips for best results

  • 1.Wait 1-2 weeks after applying before sending a follow-up.
  • 2.Try to find the hiring manager or recruiter on LinkedIn and email them directly.
  • 3.Keep it to 3-4 sentences. You are checking in, not rewriting your cover letter.
  • 4.Mention something specific about the company or role to show this is not a mass email.
