How to Get Inbound Job Offers in Tech
Most candidates spend months chasing opportunities.
Then there's a small group of people who consistently get 3 to 5 inbound opportunities every month.
Not even kidding.
At ClanX, we receive close to 15,000 applications every month, and I personally speak with hundreds of candidates.
Over the years, I've noticed that the candidates who get the most inbound opportunities don't necessarily have the best resumes, the biggest companies on their profile, or the most years of experience.
They simply make themselves easier to discover and even easier to trust.
Here are some of the biggest lessons I've learned from them:
1. Treat LinkedIn or Twitter like a build log
Most engineers, designers, and product leaders spend time on LinkedIn or Twitter.
That's where recruiters, founders, hiring managers, and future teammates are already paying attention.
Share what you shipped this week.
Share what broke.
Share what you'd do differently.
I've seen candidates get interviews because they wrote one thoughtful post about a strange bug they solved.
2. Comment before you post
Find five people in your field whose work you genuinely respect.
Leave comments that add something useful.
Not "Great post!"
Headhunters spend more time in comment sections than most people realise. Seeing your name attached to useful insights helps you stand out.
3. Reach out to founders you genuinely admire
Don't message everyone who's hiring.
Find founders whose work interests you.
Tell them specifically what you like and why.
Don't ask for a job in the same message.
The best founders can tell the difference between genuine interest and a copy-paste pitch.
4. Build one side project that solves a real problem
Not another to-do app.
Build something that solves a problem you or someone else actually faces.
Keep working on it.
Commit regularly.
Share progress publicly.
In many interviews, I've spent more time discussing a candidate's side project than their day job.
5. Contribute to open source
Pick projects you already use.
Start with small pull requests.
It doesn't need to be a massive contribution.
Open source work is proof of your skills that exists outside your company's NDA.
6. Attend meetups to learn, not to network
People can tell the difference.
The most meaningful connections happen when you're genuinely curious.
Ask thoughtful questions.
That's often enough.
7. Help people without keeping score
Answer questions.
Review resumes.
Refer friends.
Share opportunities.
People may forget who liked their post.
They rarely forget who helped them.
8. Mentor someone a few steps behind you
Teaching exposes gaps in your own thinking.
It also expands your network naturally.
I've seen mentees recommend their mentors to hiring managers more often than you'd expect.
9. Make your work easy to find
Most people have done good work.
Very few can show it.
Keep an updated portfolio, GitHub, personal website, case study, blog, or project showcase.
When someone lands on your profile, they should be able to understand what you've built in under two minutes.
10. Be known for something
The person who's decent at everything is easy to forget.
The person who's known for one thing becomes the first person people think about when that topic comes up.
Pick your thing.
Own it.
You don't need to do all 10.
Pick 2 or 3 and stay consistent for the next few months.
Most inbound opportunities are the result of work you've done long before you start looking for a job.
Happy to answer any specific questions in the comments.
There are two ways to use AI at work, and they lead to very different places.
1. The first is to take the work you already do and use AI to do it faster. This is where most teams start, and it makes sense because you can feel the speed immediately.
The sales rep who wrote 4 follow-up emails a day now writes 20. You get more output, but in the exact same shape. The hours you free up get filled with more work. Over the last two years, multitasking is up 12% and weekend work up 40%. Your day just got denser.
2. The second is to use AI to change what the work is. Instead of writing those 20 follow-ups faster, you ask why a human is chasing follow-ups at all, and hand the whole loop to an agent so the rep only steps in when a deal is real.
You're either deleting a step, or going the other way and doing things you couldn't do before, like reading every support ticket from the last two years to find what keeps breaking - like reading every support ticket from the last two years to find what keeps breaking - things no one had the hours to attempt until now.
That's a different job, and in most cases, a more productive one.
Women have an inbuilt, unavoidable hatred of seeing idle men. You cannot undo this. But the key word is "seeing": LEAVE THE HOUSE. This is why we invented Moose lodges, country clubs, and boats.
How to actually land a remote job in 30 days.
I've made 320+ hires.
Most candidates apply on job boards and wait.
Here's what actually moves the needle.
Step 1.
Pull companies hiring across these boards
- Wellfound
- Remote OK
- We Work Remotely
- FlexJobs
- Jobgether
- Remotive
- Working Nomads
- Jobspresso
- JustRemote
- Underdog
- Built In
- Remote co
- Skip The Drive
- Virtual Vocations
Step 2.
Verify the posting is genuine before you spend time on it. Check multiple signals.
Same role posted on the company's own careers page
Same role posted on LinkedIn
Same role also live on Wellfound
Company page on LinkedIn shows recent hiring activity, not just one stray post
Job description matches across platforms, not copy pasted from 6 months ago
More signals lining up, more real the role is.
Step 3.
Find the email of the CTO, engineering manager, or founder using Apollo.
Step 4.
Email 2 people directly. Keep it short, mention the specific role, attach your resume.
Step 5.
Follow up once after 4-5 days. Low key, just a bump, not a chase.
Step 6.
Do this for 10 companies a day, every day, for 30 days.
That's 300 companies you've reached out to directly. Not 300 applications sitting in some ATS queue.
I've seen people land offers doing exactly this while everyone else was still refreshing job boards and waiting for a response.
Happy to answer questions if you're stuck on any of this. Happy Job Hunting :)
BREAKING: Remote jobs in USD are now open to everyone.
There are millions of remote jobs out there.
Here are 9 sites to get a remote job that pays in USD:
You make the most money when you operate as if you already have a lot of it. However you think you'd be moving if you were rich, just move that way today
Starting your own business? The poor version of you needs everything to be guaranteed. No you can't give away product without a partnership agreement in place. No you can't perform a service without getting paid upfront first. Wait what if these actions lead to nothing
The wealthy version of you doesn't care. You're already free so you don't need things to work out the way you want in the time you want. You hand out value because doing so will simply get your name out there. You identify someone who would benefit from your help so you just help them because you can
Then a couple months later you're flooded with introductions, customers, clients, etc. Some were the product of a referral from one person you told "it's cool we'll figure out the payment details later let's just get this across the finish line." Others were the result of someone messaging you "hey love your stuff, do you do any consulting?" and then it turned into a insanely lucrative offer
None of which would've happened had you optimized for narrow outcomes instead of energetic momentum. Being light on your feet, putting yourself out there, doing things for the sake of doing things, having "nothing to lose" if you fail because your cup of perceived security is perpetually overflowing
Easiest way to understand the whole manifestation concept. Not some fantasy of imagining things and having them appear out of thin air. But rather embodying a certain frequency of spiritual abundance, and allowing this to shape your physical actions. The same actions that prosperity create are the same actions that create the prosperity
Companies are hiring remotely in 2026 and paying $90K–$210K+.
Most people don’t know where to look.
If you’re currently job hunting, here are the highest-demand remote jobs right now & exactly where to find them:
We’re growing the design team at @foundeverglobal, & I’m hiring a Senior AI Product Designer.
You’ll help shape products powering billions of customer interactions, with a team that cares about craft, quality, & impact.
If that excites you, my DMs are open.
Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.
you life will change the moment you stop abandoning yourself every time things get hard. most people don’t fail because they aren’t talented enough, smart enough or lucky enough. they fail because somewhere along the way they stopped believing they were capable of becoming the person they dreamed about. let me remind you, “every beautiful thing waiting for you requires a version of you that refuses to quit.”
you choose this path for a reason don’t forget that. you knew it wasn’t going to be easy, you knew people were goona say things about you, you knew the most of the world is too scared to pursue the path that you’re now pursuing but you choose to keep walking anyway. so embrace it, hold the vision a little longer my friend. one day you’ll look back and realize the hardest seasons of your life were creating the strongest version of you.
