Case Study: 4 Job Offers in 57 Days
When the Head of Sales at a health company suddenly found himself job hunting for the first time in his career, he approached it like any seasoned sales pro would: as a pipeline-building, multi-touch, strategic sales cycle.
This wasn’t just browsing job boards and clicking “apply.” He gave himself a 60-day deadline to land his next role—and in just 57 days, he had 4 job offers on the table.
Here’s how he did it—and how Insider Openings can simplify the same process down to one tool and a fraction of the time and cost.
The Strategy: Treating the Job Hunt Like a Sales Funnel
- Prospected 200–250 companies using Crunchbase, focusing on recently funded companies.
- Used LinkedIn filters to match job titles, verticals, and growth-stage opportunities
- Researched C-suite teams and sent 70 cold emails, including 11 directly to CEOs
- Created 5–6 versions of his resume and cover letter to A/B test performance with ATS scanners
- Maintained all outreach manually in a spreadsheet (no HubSpot or Salesforce!)
- Spent 5–6 hours a day refining and narrowing his list to 70 companies he was truly excited about.
The Results
- 17 interviews from cold outreach
- 10 second rounds, 7 final interviews
- 4 official offers
- 36.4% response rate from CEO emails
- 57 days from start to signed offer
Pretty incredible. But it came at a cost.
The Tools He Used
To pull this off, he subscribed to 8 different tools:
- Crunchbase
- LinkedIn Premium
- Kickresume
- Hunter.io
- ATS scanners (like ATSfriendly.com, enhancv, usemassive.com)
- Pavilion community
The process was powerful, but fragmented, time-consuming, and expensive.
