Show HN: Free email finder for job seekers – find and contact hiring managers

I built dropzone because job searching is broken. Applying online means your resume competes with hundreds of others filtered by AI. The people who land roles are the ones who reach out directly — but researching companies and writing personal emails takes hours.

The homepage is a free people search — enter a company name, see who works there, and unlock their email. No signup, 3 free unlocks. Great for finding hiring managers, founders, or anyone you want to connect with.

Once you sign up, the full platform helps you turn those contacts into conversations: AI drafts personalized outreach using your resume and company context, learns your voice from every edit, sends from your Gmail, and tracks replies. There's even an autonomous agent that discovers and contacts prospects while you sleep.

Stack: FastAPI, React, Firestore, Apollo API, Claude for email generation, Cloud Run + Firebase Hosting. Solo project, built entirely with Claude Code.

Happy to answer questions about the build or the approach to AI-powered job outreach.

How are you acquiring all these email addresses?
qcarroll•52m ago
We use Apollo.io's API for contact data. The free people search uses their api_search endpoint (no credits consumed), and email reveals use their people/match endpoint. Apollo maintains one of the largest B2B contact databases — we're essentially a focused interface on top of their data, optimized for job seekers rather than salespeople.
