How did you grow/find your first group of users to a MVP product you just launched?

I'm a junior product marketer looking for advice. My team and I just launched a service called RoundUp, which is a free Chrome extension made for HR professionals. It's like a memopad that pops open inside Google Meet, where they can fill out candidate reviews once the interview is over - and it automatically links to a Dashboard, where HR folks can see everything in one place. It's got very basic features (so a MVP) and of course there are many things we need to get to. I'm new to doing product marketing and would love some advice from those who's gone through this phase of trying to grow the userbase from a grassroots perspective. What was the best way to get users on your site/product/service at the beginning? Were people willing to give you feedback and advice? (How did you find them?) Would love to hear your stories/kind advice!

What unconventional ways have you found of listening to customers?

Hey! I work at Pause - we're a light, easy to use tool that helps people take time off and organisations to plan work better. We in beta but we plan to launch on Product Hunt soon! We're only a few months old, but starting out, we encountered some difficulties in getting user feedback regularly to improve our product. We realised instead of approaching users, it made more sense to create channels through which users could approach us directly. The easier we made it for customers and users to contact us, the more they did. The more they contacted us, the more bugs and issues we were able to find and fix. So the three things that worked great for us were: 1. Intercom Integration
