Applying cold sucks.

You can access more jobs than you think.

I've spent over a decade helping people get hired — first as the #1-rated instructor at App Academy, the first income-share code bootcamp, and later running Demand Curve, a YC-backed marketing bootcamp.

One pattern kept repeating: jobseekers spent too much time on cold applications. Dozens a week. Sometimes hundreds. They rarely heard back from employers, and it usually took six months to a year to find a job through the "spray and pray" method.

But when I talked to people who quickly got jobs, it was usually through a connection: a sorority mailing list, a friend of a cousin, an old professor, etc.

Cold outreach wasn't working. Warm intros were.

The problem is, most people think "networking" means going to events and meeting new people. That's exhausting. But you already know people who can refer you places. The hard part is tracking when the right jobs open up.

Most job platforms ignore this because they make money from employers, not candidates. So they promote postings that aren't in your network or don't match what you're searching. That means you don't get an edge.

So I built Warmer Jobs — a job platform that shows you where you can already get referred. It's the first tool focused on making jobseekers more strategic.

No more blind applications. No more black holes. Just warm intros, when they matter most.

"It's who you know" can feel empowering, not demoralizing.

You may have heard that 50-80% of jobs come through warm referrals. It might feel like you're not tapped into the "old boys' network."

But here's the good news: you have access to more jobs than you think. Many Warmer Jobs users have found good results with under 200 people in their network.

And if you add a spouse, family member, or close friend on the platform, you can see jobs in their network too. Give it a shot and you'll never know what you'll find.

Warmer Jobs exists to find you the most opportunities possible. Not shut you out of them.

Let's make the job search easier for everyone.
