AI Outreach & Networking Automation Expert (Job Search)

Posted 2 days ago

Summary

Overview I am an experienced technology professional looking for my next role, and I want to build an AI-powered outbound networking system to dramatically improve my job search. I am not looking for a virtual assistant to send messages for me. I am not looking for someone to simply recommend a few AI tools. Instead, I'm looking for an expert who can help me design and configure a scalable system using existing AI and automation tools. My preference is to use best-in-class off-the-shelf software wherever possible. I expect this project to focus primarily on selecting, configuring, and integrating existing tools—not building custom software from scratch unless there is a compelling reason. The goal is to create a repeatable networking system that I own and can continue using long after our engagement ends. The Goal Today, most job seekers manually research and contact 5–10 people per day. I want to build a system that allows me to prepare highly personalized outreach for 25, 50, or even 100 qualified contacts per day while maintaining quality and requiring my approval before anything is sent. This is not about sending spam. It's about using AI to make personalized networking dramatically more scalable. Desired Workflow I envision something similar to this: Aggregate jobs from multiple sources. LinkedIn Jobs Company career pages Google Jobs Other major job boards Potentially LinkedIn hiring posts Filter opportunities based on my preferences. Remote Target job titles Industry Experience level Other configurable filters Identify the right stakeholders. Recruiter Hiring manager Potential future manager Potential peer or team member Enrich each contact. Verified email LinkedIn profile Company information Recent activity Other relevant context Use AI to research each stakeholder and company. Generate personalized outreach. LinkedIn connection requests LinkedIn follow-up messages Cold emails Subject lines Calls to action requesting a brief conversation Require my approval before any outreach is sent. Track everything inside a CRM. Automatically manage intelligent follow-up sequences. Allow me to personally take over once someone responds. Relationship Mode In addition to active job postings, I want the ability to proactively build relationships with recruiters who regularly recruit for my target roles, even when they don't currently have an open position. The objective is to become someone they already know when future opportunities become available. Future Vision: This project is focused on my job search. However, I would like the architecture to be flexible enough that it could eventually be adapted to help generate consulting opportunities and other professional relationships in the future. Ideal Background Examples of people who may be a great fit include: AI Automation Consultant GTM Engineer RevOps Consultant Growth Automation Specialist Clay Expert LinkedIn Outreach Specialist SDR / BDR with strong AI automation experience Sales Automation Consultant Lead Generation Systems Expert If you've built outbound systems that combine AI with personalized outreach, I'd love to hear from you. Deliverables Please help me design and document: Recommended technology stack Workflow architecture Job aggregation strategy Stakeholder identification process Contact enrichment process AI research workflow Personalized outreach workflow CRM recommendation Follow-up strategy AI prompt library Human approval workflow Metrics and KPIs SOPs Workflow diagrams Cost estimates MVP implementation plan Recommendations for future improvements For every recommendation, I'd like to understand: Why you selected it Alternatives you considered Tradeoffs Estimated costs That future use case is secondary but should be considered when designing the system.
