## Why JobHunter Master?
**Most job seekers use the "spray and pray" method** — mass-applying through LinkedIn Easy Apply and hoping for the best. That's a lottery ticket, not a strategy.
JobHunter Master is a **Claude Code skill** that transforms your job search into a **systematic sales process**. It automates research, outreach planning, material customization, and follow-up — turning Claude into your personal job hunting assistant.
### Key Benefits
| Feature | What It Does |
|---|---|
| **Target Acquisition** | Identify high-value opportunities beyond Easy Apply across LinkedIn, AngelList, RemoteOK, and HN Who's Hiring |
| **Company Intelligence** | Auto-research funding stage, tech stack, culture, recent hires, and pain points |
| **People Finder** | Map hiring managers, recruiters, and team members with contact discovery via Hunter.io, Apollo.io, and RocketReach |
| **Material Customization** | Tailor CVs and cover letters per-application using job post language matching |
| **Multi-Channel Outreach** | Coordinated LinkedIn, email, and Twitter/X engagement strategies |
| **Follow-Up Engine** | Structured cadence (Day 0 → Day 3 → Day 7 → Day 14) that persists without being pushy |

## 6-Phase Workflow
### Phase 1: Target Acquisition
Find jobs worth pursuing — not just the ones with a one-click apply button. Sources include LinkedIn, company career pages, AngelList, RemoteOK, and Hacker News Who's Hiring threads.
**Research checklist per target:**
- Company size, funding stage, recent news
- Tech stack (job post, GitHub, StackShare, blog posts)
- Company culture signals (Glassdoor, Blind, LinkedIn)
- Recent hires in similar roles
- Pain points and growth challenges
### Phase 2: Intelligence Gathering
Map the decision-makers before you apply:
1. **Hiring Manager** — Identified from job post or LinkedIn search
2. **HR/Recruiter** — Located via `[Company] Recruiter` LinkedIn queries
3. **Team Members** — People with similar titles at the company
4. **Warm Connections** — Mutual connections, alumni networks
**Contact discovery methods:**
- LinkedIn direct messages and InMail
- Email pattern inference (`firstname@`, `f.lastname@`)
- Hunter.io / Apollo.io / RocketReach lookups
- Twitter/X DM warm-ups
### Phase 3: Material Customization
Every application gets a tailored CV and cover letter — never send a generic resume again.
**CV adjustments:**
- Lead with experience relevant to THIS role
- Mirror the job post's language and keywords
- Quantify achievements matching their stated needs
- Cut irrelevant content
**Cover letter formula:**
```
Para 1: Why THIS company (prove you researched)
Para 2: Why YOU (match experience to their pain points)
Para 3: What you'll DO (concrete value proposition)
Para 4: Call to action (request a 15-minute call)
```
### Phase 4: Multi-Channel Approach
Coordinated outreach across LinkedIn, email, and Twitter/X:
- **LinkedIn**: Personalized connection requests → thoughtful comments → InMail
- **Email**: Punchy cold emails showing you did your homework
- **Twitter/X**: Follow key people → engage genuinely → DM after warming up
### Phase 5: Follow-Up Cadence
```
Day 0: Apply + Connect on LinkedIn
Day 3: Follow-up email if no response
Day 7: LinkedIn message or comment on their content
Day 14: Final follow-up with a new angle or value-add
```
**Never:** Send the same message twice, sound desperate, or spam multiple people at the same company.
### Phase 6: Track & Iterate
Per-application success metrics:
- [ ] Company researched
- [ ] CV customized
- [ ] Cover letter written
- [ ] HR/Hiring manager identified
- [ ] Connection request sent
- [ ] Follow-up scheduled

## Philosophy
> *"The job doesn't go to the best candidate. It goes to the best job hunter."*
Easy Apply = lottery ticket. Real job hunting = sales process.
Every hire is a business decision. Treat your job search like a B2B sales funnel:
1. **Research** — Know the company better than their employees
2. **Qualify** — Match your experience to their pain points
3. **Customize** — Tailor every touchpoint for THIS job
4. **Find the humans** — HR, hiring manager, team lead, insider
5. **Engage** — Comment, connect, message, email
6. **Follow up** — Persistence without being annoying
---
## Who Is This For?
- **Software engineers** tired of 300+ application black holes
- **Career changers** who need to stand out without traditional experience
- **Senior candidates** targeting specific companies, not job boards
- **Remote workers** competing globally for distributed roles
- **Anyone** who wants to treat job hunting like the strategic process it is
