Why it exists
Most applications never reach a human being.
Large companies route applications through automated screening before anyone reads them. Finding the right person to reach directly — a hiring manager or a recruiter on the team — meaningfully changes the odds, but doing that search by hand for every application does not scale.
How it works
- 01
Select the application
Start from a saved application so the search is grounded in the actual company and role, not a generic company search.
- 02
Run the search
Crescendo uses AI with live web search to surface people plausibly connected to the role — hiring managers, recruiters, and team leads.
- 03
Verify and reach out
Check each profile yourself, then message the people worth contacting in your own voice, on your own timeline.
What you leave with
- A short list of real people connected to the role
- Verified names, titles, and LinkedIn links
- A direct outreach option alongside the standard application
- Contacts kept with the application for follow-up
Why the connected workflow matters
Discovered contacts attach to the same application as your resume, letter, and interview prep, so outreach and follow-up stay in one place instead of a separate spreadsheet.
Important limitation
Search results depend on public information and can be incomplete or occasionally wrong. Verify every profile before reaching out, and respect each company's own communication norms.
Common questions
Clear answers before you start.
- Does Crescendo message contacts for me?
- No. Crescendo finds and verifies people connected to the company and role; you decide who to contact and write the message yourself.
- How many contacts does one search return?
- Up to 5 verified people per run, focused on hiring managers, recruiters, and team leads relevant to the role.
- Is this available on the free plan?
- Free includes one lifetime preview run. Ongoing monthly runs require Standard (5 a month) or Pro (10 a month).
