Hi Jordan, your team’s shift toward self-service onboarding is the same kind of problem I handled in my last role. I have one idea I would value your take on.

An interested reply might be: “Can you talk Thursday?”

Reach hire, HiringReach, or reacHIRE?

HiringReach and the other “reach hire” companies, side by side

Quick answer: a search for “reach hire” turns up four different things. HiringReach is job search software for individual job seekers: it names the likely hiring manager for a posting, reveals a verified work email, and drafts a note you send yourself. HiringReach Starter starts with a 7-day trial (card required, $0 today). A successful work-email reveal starts Starter at $49 a month immediately; otherwise it bills from day 8 unless you cancel in Settings first. Pro is $99 a month. reacHIRE sells leadership and returnship programs to employers, Reach Hire Talent Solutions is a staffing agency, and Reach Hire is a nonprofit job board in Alberta. None of them is affiliated with HiringReach.

How to tell which reach hire you need

HiringReach fits if you are looking for work

HiringReach suits a job seeker who already knows the role they want and wants to write to the person who owns it. HiringReach does not act as your recruiter, submit you for roles, or place you in a job.

HiringReach works beside job boards

HiringReach is not a job board. You still apply when a posting requires it, on Reach Hire or anywhere else, then use HiringReach to give the hiring manager concise context a portal may never show them.

Employers searching reach hire

An employer who wants a staffing agency or a nonprofit job board wants one of the other three. HiringReach for job seekers is not a recruiting service. HiringReach for employers, a sourcing tool that shows you job seekers who already wrote to your hiring managers, is on a waitlist.

Direct introductions

Is there a service that introduces you to hiring managers? HiringReach’s honest answer

A recruiter or staffing agency can introduce you, but only for the roles a client has engaged them to fill. HiringReach takes the other route: it names the likely hiring manager for the job you chose, explains why, reveals a verified work email, and drafts a note you send yourself. If you already know someone at the company, HiringReach can also draft a request for a warm introduction from your LinkedIn connections export.

That difference matters most for roles nobody has handed to an agency, including the ones that never reach a job board at all. The HiringReach guide to the hidden job market covers why so many of those hires start with a conversation instead of a posting. If you are weighing every route at once, from recruiters to referrals to software, HiringReach compares them in its round-up of tools that get a real person to look at your application.

Should you write to HR or to the hiring manager? Usually the hiring manager. HR and recruiters run the process, but the hiring manager owns the team and the decision about the role. Keep applying through the formal process when the posting requires it, and send the hiring manager one short, relevant note. HiringReach finds the likely hiring manager, not the HR contact. HiringReach’s page on whether it is OK to contact a hiring manager directly walks through the etiquette.

Why bother? In HiringReach’s reading of 9,812 public Reddit posts from job seekers, collected from July 4 to August 3, 2026, the recurring complaints were long unemployment, recruiter friction, networking that felt out of reach, and applications that vanish into a black hole. A direct note to the person who owns the job is the part of that problem HiringReach is built to fix.

How it works

HiringReach takes you from a posting to a reply in seven steps

HiringReach works on one job at a time, start to finish. Nothing leaves your inbox that you did not read and press send on.

Step 01⊕

Save the posting

Use the Chrome extension on the job you are looking at, paste a link, or search live openings inside HiringReach.

Step 02◈

Focus one job

The job you want most becomes the job everything else is written against: the people, the research, the resume, the note.

Step 03◎

Find who owns the hire

HiringReach maps the posted role onto the titles that own it at that company, and brings back only the strongest matches. See how to find the hiring manager.

Step 04∴

Read why it is them

Each name arrives with the reasoning and a confidence level, so you judge the match instead of trusting a title.

Step 05✉

Reveal the work email

Triple-verified before you see it. If the posting is stale or the person clearly does not own the hire, HiringReach says so first. A reveal that finds nothing is not charged.

Step 06✎

Tailor and draft

Your resume is rewritten for that exact job, and the note is built from facts you ticked, each one with the link and date it came from.

Step 07✈

You press send

The compose window opens with the note ready. You send it from your own inbox, and HiringReach logs it and sets the next touch.

Then↺

Three touches, then it stops

A reply files itself against the note it answers. No reply after three touches and HiringReach leaves them alone.

What we will not do

Everyone else blasts. HiringReach refuses to.

Four things HiringReach will not do for you, on purpose. They are the reason the note gets read.

HiringReach will not apply for you

Auto-apply is how a resume ends up in a pile of hundreds. HiringReach works on one job at a time, and you apply yourself when the role requires it.

HiringReach will not send anything in your name

No sequences, no drip campaigns, no bot writing to a stranger as you. HiringReach opens the compose window with the note ready. The send button is yours.

HiringReach will not invent the flattery

Every fact in your note came from a live search and arrives with its source link and its date. You tick the ones you will stand behind, and one of them becomes the subject line.

HiringReach will not take your money for nothing

A lookup that finds no verified email is not charged. And when the posting has gone stale or the person clearly does not own the hire, HiringReach warns you before you spend the reveal.

What you get

Six things HiringReach does for every job you focus

HiringReach gives you a name with the reasoning behind it, facts that carry their source and date, a note written the way you write, a tailored resume, a planned follow-up, and one screen for the conversations you have open.

A name, and the reason

HiringReach maps the posted role onto the titles that own that hire, then says in plain words why this person: their title, whether they hold the posted seat, the function and location match, and how sure HiringReach is. A staff engineer is a teammate, not the hiring manager, and HiringReach treats them as one. The hiring manager guide shows how to judge the match yourself.

Facts with a date on them

Funding, launches, awards, and what the person did themselves, each one with the link it came from and when it was published. A fact nobody can source does not reach the draft.

A note that sounds like you

Paste two things you have written and your sentence length, greeting, contractions and sign-off carry into every draft. The fact you ticked becomes the subject line.

A resume tailored to that one job

Scored against the posting, rewritten for it, and shareable as a link that tells you when it was opened. The ATS-friendly resume guide owns the full formatting checklist.

Three touches, then it stops

The first note and two follow-ups are planned for you, written for email or for LinkedIn. Nobody gets a fourth. Someone you already know can be asked for a warm introduction instead, from your own LinkedIn connections export.

One screen for today, and prep for the call

Every person you are mid-conversation with, in one list, with the next step named. When a reply turns into an interview, the same workspace holds the questions, the research, and the offer maths.

Sending and tracking

HiringReach logs your emails itself. You never update a tracker.

With HiringReach, the Gmail or Outlook window opens with the note already written and your own private logging address already in the BCC line. Press send and HiringReach records it, moves the person along, and sets the next touch. Forward a reply to the same address and it lands beside the note it answers.

No mailbox to connectNo inbox permissions to approve, and it works in any mail client.
Nothing sends from usEvery message leaves from your own address, after you press send.
Replies file themselvesAn answer lands against the note it replies to, and the person moves.
You decide when it is readA reply is only analysed when you ask, so nothing is spent behind your back.
Contact data you can trust

HiringReach verifies contact data before you see it

Find a likely manager or bring a name. A title is a guesstimate. When an email or mobile is found, it is triple-verified through multiple independent data providers before it reaches you. A miss is not charged.
