In my line of work (non engineering, strategy and other business side leadership roles) there’s also the problem of a very tiny pool of jobs to begin with, so I decided to be very proactive and I have started reaching out to companies that raised money recently or who have “we’re hiring” on executives LinkedIn profiles and cold emailing them something to the tune of “I have helped many companies with various hard to define problems and taken a variety of roles that may not fit the traditional job titles paradigm, I like your company and you’re growing your team at the moment, could I get a chance for a quick chat to see if you have problems or opportunities I could help solve?”

One week in, I’ve already had a handful of informational interviews, while my applications to actual postings go into a black hole.

I bet that approach could work for your profile as well, I’ve even deployed a sales enablement tool and a CRM to automate, track and document (for unemployment claims) my process

Good luck

Oh that's very interesting. Can you share more about your strategy for filling the top of your funnel? Where are you finding companies that recently raised? I can only think of maybe Angel.co or Crunchbase

What's the CRM tool you've been using?
