Getting Started
Learn how ThanksImHired finds local businesses, drafts personalised emails from your resume, and sends them from your own Gmail after you review them.
What is ThanksImHired?
ThanksImHired is an AI-assisted job search tool that helps you contact local employers directly.
Here's how it works:
- You tell the assistant what you're looking for — in a conversation, you describe the kind of work you want, where, and a little about yourself
- We find local businesses in that area using Google Maps data. A business appearing in the results does not mean it is hiring.
- AI drafts a personalised email for each business from your campaign details and your resume
- You review the emails and approve the send, then they send from your own Gmail, up to your plan's daily limit
Direct outreach sits alongside job boards rather than replacing them. ThanksImHired does the research and the first drafts so you can contact relevant employers without writing every email from scratch. We can't promise that any employer will be hiring or will reply.
What You'll Need
Before the assistant can propose a campaign, you'll need:
- A Gmail account to send emails from. The workspace fills in the address from your account.
- A Google App Password so ThanksImHired can send on your behalf (we'll walk you through this)
- Your resume as a PDF to personalise the AI-generated emails. It is optional: you can choose to add it later, but the emails then have less of your experience to draw on.
Quick Start
You work in the workspace, a chat with an assistant plus tabs for your campaigns' emails, activity and settings. A tour of the workspace →
Tell the assistant what you're looking for
Your first visit greets you and asks what kind of work you're looking for. Describe the role and where you want to work. The assistant also asks for your name and country, and can ask for optional background. A compact Setup card above the message box shows what is done and what is next. How campaigns work →
Add your resume, or add it later
A CV panel opens beside the chat. Upload a PDF, or choose Add it later.
Connect your Gmail
When Gmail is the next step on the Setup card, click Connect Gmail and add an app password. You can also open Settings → Sending accounts at any time. Full guide →
Approve the generation
The assistant shows an approval card in the chat with everything it will use. Choose the campaign size and click Approve to start writing the emails. Nothing is written until you approve. How the emails are written →
Review the emails and approve the send
Open the campaign's Emails and Review tabs to read the drafts, choose which ones to include, and approve the exact batch before anything sends.
Watch the emails go out
ThanksImHired sends from your own Gmail, spread out over business hours, up to your plan's daily limit. Follow the results in the campaign's Activity tab. How sending works →
Why direct outreach
Job boards only show the roles employers have chosen to advertise, and many people can apply to the same listing. Writing to an employer directly is a different route: a short, relevant email can reach a business whether or not it is advertising a role.
Most of the businesses you contact will not be hiring, and many will not reply, so a specific, well-targeted email works better than a generic one. ThanksImHired handles the research and the first draft. You review each email before it sends.
