The method behind every message.

How Day60 picks the four people

Day60 finds the four people closest to the hire, with verified work emails: the hiring manager, their boss, an internal champion and the recruiter. Each comes with their current title and LinkedIn profile.

An application joins a queue that someone screens later. A short message puts one specific reason in front of the person who feels the need for the hire.

Who they are, and what Day60 asks each one

• Hiring manager

  The leader of the team the job joins, at the level above the role.

  The ask: A short meeting, such as 15 minutes this week or next.

• Hiring manager's boss

  One level above the hiring manager, in the same function. At a small company, this can be a founder or the head of the whole function.

  The ask: The same ask, more lightly.

• Internal champion

  Someone in the same function and specialty, at the role’s level or below.

  The ask: To flag your application to the hiring manager, or point you to the right person.

• Recruiter

  A recruiter or talent partner who hires for this function.

  The ask: A quick screen, mentioning your application if you have sent it.

How the search works

• Day60 reads the posting for clues: the team, the level and any “reports to” line.
• The same role rules apply to every job, so the titles fit the team and the level of the role.
• When Day60 looks for people at a company, it first confirms the company’s website with you. “Is acme.com the website for Acme?” is one tap.
• A work email is kept only when it matches the company’s confirmed website, such as name@acme.com.
• We show work email addresses only; we never show personal email addresses or phone numbers.
• Four people is the aim for each job. You can keep up to 6.
• LinkedIn is always manual. Each LinkedIn search is a link you open yourself. Check each person's current role before you add them.

What Tick checks

Tick checks every draft against your rules before you see it. Drafts that break a rule get rewritten first, so what you read is ready to edit.

Tick checks the rules, not the facts. Make sure every detail is true.

The rules

• Doesn’t start with “I”

  Starting with them, not you, shows you know who you’re writing to.

• Asks one clear question

  One clear question is easy to answer, and just as easy to say no to.

• The question comes last

  Ending on your question leaves them one clear thing to answer.

• At most one em dash

  More than one in a short message can make it sound like a bot wrote it.

• No overused phrases

  These show up in so many messages that readers skim past them.

• No placeholders left

• Keeps to a few sentences

  In a cold email or a LinkedIn message after they accept. That’s room for one detail about them, one example from your work and one question.

• Ends with a sign-off and the “not me” line

  In a cold email. The “not me” line gives the wrong person an easy, polite way to say so.

• No sign-off

  In a LinkedIn connection note or a LinkedIn message after they accept. LinkedIn already shows your name with it.

How long each message can be

• Cold email: a subject of 3–7 words, and 75–175 words in all, with 4–6 sentences before your sign-off and the “not me” line.
• LinkedIn connection note: under 300 characters. Keep a version under 200 for free accounts.
• LinkedIn message after they accept: under 700 characters, in 3–5 sentences.

The pace

• Every week. Three new target jobs, or up to 3 a day when you find good ones, follow-ups on day 7, thank-you notes when people accept, and a scorecard every Sunday.
• Up to 60 target jobs and 360 people close to the hire in 60 days.
• Each person gets three touches at most: the first message on day 0, a second channel on day 2 when it applies, and a follow-up on day 7. Then Day60 marks them done and suggests no more.

What Day60 never does

• Not an auto-apply bot. Day60 never fills in or submits a job application.
• Not a mass-sending tool. Day60 never sends anything for you. You send each message yourself.
• No LinkedIn automation. Day60 never asks for your LinkedIn password, logs in to LinkedIn, fetches LinkedIn pages, or sends messages for you. You send every message.
• No keyword stuffing. Each draft is written for one person to read.
• No training on your data. We never use your data to train AI models. We do not sell personal information.
