October is upon us which means many thousands of college seniors will embark on the painstaking post-grad job search. A short note on startup recruiting, in their honor:

I firmly believe that if startup offers could match banking and consulting time horizons, we would see one of the biggest pre-professional shifts ever among non-technical college students.

Few students work for startups out of college because the recruiting process does not have the structure or predictability of other cycles. Plus, large firms can (and do) extend offers 2+ years in advance.

On the heels of an expensive education and/or pressure from parents and peers, students opt for the safe route and satiate their startup itch by telling themselves that the door will still be open in 2-3 years.

Recruiting for startups as a senior when everyone around me was doing the traditional thing was messy, scary, and even torturous at times. I wish I came across someone older than me, who might've even posted what I'm writing right now, so that I could reach out for guidance.

If that’s you today, pls DM me. Would seriously love to help

as a salesperson this will get you a response at a shockingly high clip

[name]?

sending that ^ as a last-resort bump email is the most effective sales technique i've ever learned

it evokes an emotional response in the recipient because people are not used to seeing their name in such an exposed manner. it's almost alarming

the format also breaks their pattern recognition of what cold outreach looks like, and therefore breaks their autopilot response to said outreach

this has either revived or generated at least one deal per month for me, no exaggeration

@MerhavUri @Docusign is it a cross-party signature tool or just an analyzer?

[Jared Cohen @jaredccohen]

shame on @Docusign for sending marketing emails to salespeople. any seller knows an unread message from DocuSign is only supposed to mean ONE thing

saw this 5 minutes ago and my heart is still racing

@Theweb3rec report back. curious

@j__fort Mazel Tov Jacob. How are you thinking about the opportunity cost of this build?

@_nicolealonso Good lookin tomato right there

@JacobjBassil Would probably stay away from using this with law and finance. I sell into startups almost exclusively

[Jared Cohen @jaredccohen]

i didn't think it could get worse than the post-layoff pumpkin post, yet here we are:

[Jared Cohen @jaredccohen]

Hubspot just fired 660 people and this is their most recent post

[Jared Cohen @jaredccohen]

@Lihong062 surely not

[Jared Cohen @jaredccohen]

@bdistel @bennyautomatic nope. kinda odd for someone named benny "automatic"

[Jared Cohen @jaredccohen]

nothing like starting the day watching @bennyautomatic throw up enough bricks to build a small house #friday
