Cold Outreach Crafter
Reach the right people without sounding desperate
Draft short, specific outreach messages that feel personal instead of transactional.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
I want to reach out to someone for my job search. Research this person using public information and craft a personalized outreach message. Find, if available: their current role, recent public activity or posts, any common ground, and other details that make the message more specific. Then write a message under 100 words that: opens with a specific reference to their work or a shared connection, briefly states why I'm reaching out, makes a clear and low-commitment ask (15-minute call, a question, or a referral), and closes warmly. Also draft a follow-up message for 5-7 days later if there is no response. Keep the tone warm and respectful — not desperate, not transactional. Person: [name and LinkedIn URL or email] Why I'm reaching out: [job interest, informational interview, referral, etc.] My background: [brief context so the message can reference your relevant experience]
How It Works
Tell your Claw who you want to reach and why. It researches the person,
finds a genuine connection point, and drafts a short, respectful message
that doesn't read like a mass template. Works for hiring managers,
recruiters, potential mentors, and informational interview requests.
What You Get
- Person research: their role, recent posts, shared connections, interests
- Connection point identification: genuine reasons to reach out
- Message draft tailored to the platform (LinkedIn, email, or Twitter/X)
- Follow-up message if no response after 5-7 days
- Tracking of who you've contacted and their response status
Setup Steps
- Share the person's name and LinkedIn URL or email
- Tell your Claw why you're reaching out (job interest, informational interview, referral request)
- Review the research and drafted message
- Personalize further if needed and send
- Set a follow-up reminder for 5-7 days later
Tips
- Keep cold outreach under 100 words — people don't read long messages from strangers
- Lead with what you can offer or something specific about their work, not your need
- Informational interview requests have much higher response rates than "are you hiring?" messages
- Follow up once, max twice — after that, move on
- If you have a mutual connection, mention them (with permission)
- Never send the same generic message to multiple people at the same company
