Backdoor
Daily applications, and your inbox stays empty.
JobCopilot applies on company career pages for you every day. Backdoor writes to the founder behind the startup instead, and only after you say yes.

Backdoor
Applying every day doesn't mean anyone reads it.

Applications go out on autopilot.

They join the pile on career pages.

You never hear who saw them.
Skip the pile. Land in the founder's inbox.
Founders at early startups often read their own email. A short note about why you fit them stands out there in a way a form application rarely does.
A founder's inbox, the week a role goes up.
One short note, about why you fit. Then a reply.
Hey, this is great timing. We're about to open this role.
Free for a quick call Tuesday?
Here's what it feels like instead.
Backdoor does the searching, writing and chasing. You stay in the loop and say yes.
BackdoorNothing goes out without your yes
You read every note first, and nothing goes out until you reply SEND.
BackdoorA founder reads it, not a filter
Your note reaches the founder who can say yes, not a screening filter.
BackdoorYou hear back in your chat

It keeps applications going without you. If those applications aren't turning into conversations, reaching founders directly is a different way in.
For startup jobs, Backdoor. It finds the founder's or hiring manager's email and drafts a short note about why you fit.
Never. Each draft waits in your chat until you reply SEND. After that, follow-ups go out on their own in the same thread.
Many do. More than half the people who gave Backdoor three weeks heard back from a founder, and 4 in 10 got to an interview or next round.
