JobHunter Master
AI-Powered Job Hunting Skill for Claude Code
Stop spraying applications. Start hunting strategically.
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.

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:
- Hiring Manager — Identified from job post or LinkedIn search
- HR/Recruiter — Located via
[Company] RecruiterLinkedIn queries - Team Members — People with similar titles at the company
- 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:
- Research — Know the company better than their employees
- Qualify — Match your experience to their pain points
- Customize — Tailor every touchpoint for THIS job
- Find the humans — HR, hiring manager, team lead, insider
- Engage — Comment, connect, message, email
- 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
