Something I hear often is that it is tough to find new companies that are hiring on the job boards or that it’s difficult to think of companies to target.
I completely understand this.
It can be tough to keep thinking of new companies to target because:
(1) There are only a handful of companies that you know about
(2) Therefore, it’s easy to not know what you don’t know and
(3) The job boards will go through quiet periods
So here is a friendly reminder of 5 ways that you can either:
(1) Identify new companies that might be hiring .. and/or
(2) Start building a list of new companies to keep track of
By building your own database or target companies, you can stay on the lookout for new jobs that they post.
Note: You don’t have to utilize all 5 things on this list… or you certainly don’t have to try doing all 5 in one sitting.
To make it easier on yourself, I’d recommend working on 1/5 per day.
Let’s get into it….
- List one: Dream industries
- List two: Industries I’m Interested In
Again, the entire point here is, you don’t have to spend countless hours on job boards. These are strong alternatives and the best part is, most people are not using them, therefore, you’ll stack the deck in your favor.
Real Example:
We had one client secure 7 different interviews by using ADPList.org + using the VC Job Boards. Result: He landed a $350k Sr. Director of Product role in less than 61 days (in ’24)…yup.
Let me know how this goes!
Yours in abundance,
