Tell HN: Don't mass spam employers with LLM generated emails

If you're looking for a job, do -not- have Claude bulk email every company on "Who's Hiring".

These things all look the same and your message is just going to get marked spam.

For example, it's painfully obvious that our staff eng role's "combination of distributed execution, workload optimization, and cost-aware infrastructure" is not, in fact, "unusually close" to whatever line on your resume Claude decided is tangentially relevant.

Just write a normal email by hand and send it. If you it looks like you spent 5 minutes looking up what we do and are actually excited I'll at least look at your resume; if you spent 0 minutes thinking about the job posting I'm going to spend 0 minutes on this too.

I'm employed, but have been in the job market for over a year.

Right now, any job opening is like fighting for a seat on the last helicopter out of Saigon. Whenever I do get an interview - I'm one of over a dozen applicants interviewing for the same position. Everyone is desperate, hiring managers have extreme power, and the bar is constantly being raised on how much you need to be willing to do be considered.

The irony is everyone wants to see a portfolio of AI work, but if you use AI for any part of the hiring process it's a demerit against you.

That doesn't mean that you have to send shitty emails to founders right
