I used to spend sleepless nights in bed, tossing and turning, one burning question running through my head: "How can I receive more emails from recruiters?" It was the software developer's pipe dream – something we all wanted, but were powerless to facilitate. Thanks to TrueLeads, I can rest easy tonight.
@thedavidgay David. Glad you're enjoying the extension, we're here to make certain that not only your LinkedIn inbox, but also your email inbox is ALWAYS full of high quality communications.
@thedavidgay so glad you'll be able to rest easy tonight! This gave me a gave me a good laugh. In all seriousness, we understand that some recruiters can be overbearing when it comes to outreach, however, the right opportunity presented at the right time can be life-changing for candidates who might be open to a change. Our goal is to help connect people with opportunities and we always encourage our users to message candidates and prospects with respect and courtesy. Thanks again for taking the time to write this.
@thedavidgay@zakpucci Think you've both missed the sarcasm. Developers HATE linked in recruiter spam. If you've got your profile open for jobs, then fair game. But when 99% of recruiters constantly pester, often with totally irrelevant offerings you tend to dislike them.
If someone has their profile set to not looking for a job, you should NOT be soliciting them.
@thedavidgay@zakpucci@rick_m1 Thanks Rick, certainly didn't miss the sarcasm which is why I wanted to explain the reason why we built the app. Like you, I receive countless InMails every day from recruiters (mostly automated messages) that add ZERO value to me as I'm not currently looking. This has increased to the point that I no longer even use my InMail because it's almost 100% Spam. We don't subscribe to automated messaging or drip campaigns; we are simply here to help recruiters and salespeople connect with prospects in order to truly add value by offering opportunities that align with the candidates needs.
I agree 100% that if a candidate has their profile set to Not Looking, recruiters should respect that. Thanks for your comment, we're on the same page!
Regardless of your views of recruiters, there are countless stories of great recruiters reaching out to the right candidate, with the right opportunity, at the right time and changing the trajectory of that candidates life for the better.
Products like this make me really angry. You say you made it because Inmail is full of spam, so now you want my private email inbox to be full of spam too? This product and other products like it are an invasion of privacy and a complete disrespect of consent and choice. And where do you get these email addresses from? As far as I can work out (from the fact that I constantly get unsolicited emails from recruiters on an email address I haven't used for years) is that they're from the LinkedIn data breach which happened in 2012. This shouldn't be legal.
@amywilson Hi Amy, thanks for your response and I appreciate your concern. I think it’s important to delineate between products like TrueLeads, that (like ZoomInfo or ExactData) help provide contact information and products that automate spam messages and place candidates on drip campaigns etc. We’ve used TrueLeads for months and the mutually beneficial business relationships we’ve built through contacting the right people, at the right time, with the right value will last for a lifetime. Receiving a cold email is not inherently bad, abuse of automated systems to spam candidates certainly is. Happy to chat more as I appreciate that you’re passionate about this.
@amywilson Hi Amy, no, we're certainly not in the business of leveraging any breached data. We work with the most reputable data partners in the data space and aggregate the data, cleanse, verify, and provide an easy-to-use interface for our users.
@true_connect Wherever you got these email addresses from (which I do heavily suspect is from a breach, even if 2nd hand, since I would never publicly post my email address or consent for it to be passed on to third parties as these "data partners" are doing), the fact is that you are selling people's data without their consent. Whether some people get a nice job out of it is irrelevant to the morality of what you're doing. I know data laws can have grey areas but I balk at the idea that a company can buy my data from some third party, give out my contact details to anyone who pays them, that person can contact me on a private address without telling me how they acquired it, and there is no way for me to opt out since not only did I not sign up, I have no idea of even the name of the company it came from. Not to mention you're providing a tool that can be abused by doxxers, stalkers and hackers.
Whenever this happens to me (which is too often) I report it to the ICO, and I suggest everyone else who is a victim of this data theft and invasion of privacy should do the same.
@true_connect How gullible do you think we are? Or how naive are you yourself? The data you get from "reliable data partners" was certainly not collected in a morally sound way. Either those companies get their data from data breaches, or from people who sign up for some free goodies without realizing where their data goes. @amywilson is right. What you're doing is most certainly a breach of privacy.
You know what's even worse? Your disingenous introductory post. " We love human connection and hope this extension allows you to connect with the right people at the right time" -> as if human connection is the reason you built this. You know full well that your target audience is recruiters, and the responses to this hunt prove this. I don't think you even care about human connections.
Do you realize that if people _wanted_ to be contacted by email by recruiters, they'd put their email address on their LinkedIn profile?
TrueLeads is the kind of product that gives Silicon Valley a bad name, even if you're not based in SV...
Hey There Product Hunt! We love human connection and hope this extension allows you to connect with the right people at the right time. đź‘Ś
While prospecting for candidates on LinkedIn, our team at TrueConnect realized that response rates to our InMail messages were extremely low due the fact that candidates’ InMail boxes were flooded with SPAM. During this process, we realized the need to email candidates directly and the idea for TrueLeads was born. After using TrueLeads in Beta, our team saw response rates increase by 6x as compared to our previous efforts through InMail. 🚀
In addition to working tirelessly to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information in the market, we also wanted to provide a beautiful and intuitive user experience. After months of iteration, TrueLeads’ current user interface was created, offering one-click access to all major components and Single-Sign on access with Google, LinkedIn, and Facebook accounts. Our goal is to reduce any friction for users by allowing easy sign-up using existing accounts while shying away from the need to capture unnecessary user information during the signup process. ⏱
TrueLeads also addresses a major gap in the market by offering scalable and affordable pricing as opposed to more expensive options like ZoomInfo or ExactData. We heard from countless recruitment firms and sales teams that options such as ZoomInfo were financially unfeasible, requiring long-term contracts that could cost thousands of dollars per month. We knew that creating an affordable option would help businesses gain access to valuable contact data without draining them financially. đź’µ
Speaking of financials, you can try TrueLeads for free AND we're offering all Product Hunt users 25% OFF their first 6 months of a paid plan using promo code PH25
We hope you enjoy the product and we're looking forward to your feedback!
