Reachout

Reachout solves one narrow problem recruiters hit several times an hour: writing a first message that is specific enough to get a reply. Instead of keeping a folder of stale templates or spending twenty minutes composing a single note, the extension takes two inputs — the position you are hiring for and the company name — and returns three alternative ChatGPT-written messages. Because the options differ in angle and phrasing, you can pick the tone that fits the prospect rather than settling for the only version you happened to write.

The workflow is deliberately short. You stay on LinkedIn, open the extension popup, fill in the two fields, click generate and read the three drafts. Nothing is sent automatically: you choose a message, adjust it if you want, and send it through LinkedIn as usual, which keeps the human judgement where it matters and keeps the tool clearly inside the bounds of assisted writing rather than mass automation.

The extension was published by an independent developer, Daniel K, and last updated in April 2023, and it reports that it does not collect or sell user data. Its audience is individual recruiters and hiring managers doing direct sourcing rather than sales teams running multi-step sequences; the trade-off for that simplicity is a small feature set, a modest user base and a tool that has not seen recent updates.
