The person to write to

At each employer: who leads the team you'd join, and something true and recent to say, with its source.

Your message, sent by you

It sounds like you and waits in Messages. One click opens it in your own email, ready to send. Connect your mailbox (read-only) and we notice replies and bounces for you.

Dear Priya,

I saw your talk on cutting empty miles, and the part about route data stuck with me…

The numbers

Why start with employersand people.

1 in 7

Roughly one in seven US hires isn't preceded by a job opening.

Davis, Faberman & Haltiwanger, Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2013, from US Bureau of Labor Statistics data, 2001–2006

1.7 vs 0.7

Workplaces with under 50 staff make up to 1.7 hires per posted opening. At 1,000+ staff it's 0.7.

Same study. Smaller employers hire more around their postings.

13×

Referred candidates were 13 times more likely to reach an interview than job-board applicants.

Ashby, 38 million applications, 2021–2024 (40% vs 3%). Referred candidates are pre-screened, so the channel alone doesn't explain the gap.

A message from you isn't a referral. But it reaches a person who can answer, instead of a pile. Whomwise finds the person to write to.

To whom it may concern,Dear Priya,

I saw your talk at the Midwest Freight Forum on cutting empty miles. The part about route data nobody cleans stuck with me.

← her talk, April · source linked

At my internship I rebuilt that kind of dataset for a 40-truck fleet and cut the weekly report from two days to one hour.

Would you have 15 minutes in the next two weeks? I'd like to hear how your team handles it.

Why this exists

My friend was struggling to find a job that fit her visa. I wanted to build a tool that helps her find one.

Cold emailing seemed like the way in, so we tried sending lots of AI-written emails. But recruiters are already drowning in those. So Whomwise goes the other way: fewer messages, each one personal, every fact with its source, written to sound like you, not like AI. And you send them yourself, from your own email.

We prepare, you send

  • Sending stays with you. We never send email from your account, never apply for you and never message anyone on your behalf.
  • Your mailbox, read-only. Optional, and it can't send, change or delete anything.
  • Every fact checked. The drafts are written with AI and checked in code against the facts we found. They can still be wrong, so you read every one.
  • No promises we can't keep. We can't promise replies or a job. We can save you the research and the blank page.
  • Your data is yours. Download everything or delete everything with one click, any time.

Questions

Before you start.

Does Whomwise send emails or apply for me?

No. We prepare each message and you send it yourself, from your own email. We never send from your account, never apply for you and never message anyone on your behalf.

What's a researched message?

One researched message is used when we name the right person at an employer: who to write to, their checked email and a message in your voice. We look up the email only after you say yes to that person. Every other employer gets a template message you can send yourself.

Who is it for?

People looking for a job in the United States, from an internship or a first job to leading a team. If you need a visa sponsor, we show how often employers sponsor visas.

What happens to my CV and my mailbox?

Before you save your draft, it's deleted after 24 hours. After that you can download or delete everything with one click, any time. To read your CV and write your messages we send the needed parts to AI models, only through services that keep nothing and don't train on your data. Connecting your mailbox is optional and read-only. Details in the privacy policy.

Isn't cold emailing spam?

Spam is the same message sent to many people. This is the opposite: a few messages, each to one person, about their work, with a real reason to write. You read every one before you send it.

We're starting there. Tell us where you are and we'll email you once when it opens.
