The cold LinkedIn DM problem.
You find the right person — a recruiter at the company you want, a hiring manager in your field, someone with exactly the kind of network that could open a door. You're ready. You know what you want to say. And then you spend forty-five minutes trying to write three sentences that don't sound like you're begging.
The cold outreach problem in job searching is specific. You need to sound confident without sounding presumptuous. Interested without sounding desperate. Professional but also like an actual human they'd want to respond to.
That's a narrow target to hit on the first try. I help you hit it in seconds.
What a good recruiter DM looks like.
Recruiters on LinkedIn get a lot of messages. Most of them are variations on the same thing: "Hi, I noticed you're at [Company] and I'd love to connect." They scan it, register that it's generic, and move on.
The messages that get replies do something different. They're short. They show awareness of the recruiter's focus or the company's work. They make a clear, low-pressure ask — a conversation, a referral, a pointer to the right role, not a job offer by the end of the message. They read like a confident person who knows their value and doesn't need to prove it in the opener.
I write that version. Every time. Three options, different tones — you pick the one that fits where you're at today.
Example job search openers Quipp might write
"I've been following the work your team is doing at [Company] — I'd love a five-minute conversation to introduce myself and see if there's a fit."
"You placed a colleague of mine at [Company] two years ago and they're still raving about it — I'm in a similar role and curious if there's anything in your pipeline I should know about."
"I applied to the [Role] opening last week and wanted to put a face to the application — any chance you'd have ten minutes to talk?"
Three options per contact. You pick, you send.
The follow-up nobody wants to write.
They liked your application. Had a great first call. Said they'd be in touch by Friday. It's now the following Wednesday and your inbox is empty. You want to follow up but you don't want to sound impatient. You don't want to come off as anxious. But you also can't just let it sit there for another week.
This is the message most job seekers never send — not because they don't want to, but because they don't know how to write it without it feeling like pressure. I write it without the pressure. A clean, professional nudge that shows you're still interested, still on top of things, and not sweating the timeline even if you definitely are.
Cold DMs, warm intros, application follow-ups, recruiter re-engages — every stage of the job search conversation, I've got a version of.
