How to get interviews in 2026

Hey David, I'm looking for someone quite particular so I've had chats but not filled this! Happy to chat!

Amazing! Would this afternoon be too short notice for a quick 10 minute phone call, at 3pm?
1:45 PM
I can do 9.30 — what email can I send the invite to?
1:56 PM
Cold message to interview booked, in 65 minutes.
The usual route
100 applications→3 callbacks from a recruiter→0 interviews with the hiring manager
Reaching out directly
10 messages→5 replies→3 interviews

Top row: what the candidates I interviewed were getting. Bottom row: the average for the ones I've coached.

This is what people kept telling me

“I applied to even 500 to 1000 jobs — literally no replies from their side.”
“I followed up with a lot of people on LinkedIn — absolute zero response.”
“[My messages to hiring managers] were always left on read.”
“Somehow I have not been able to meet a human till now.”
“[Applying] costs a lot of time, and there is no response. It is mentally draining.”

Real quotes from people I interviewed. Same story nearly every time: good enough, but nobody ever saw it.

What the facts say

Recruiters get 100+ applications per role and shortlist about 10 for the hiring manager. That's a 1-in-10 shot before anyone properly reads your CV.

100+
applications per role, most screened by software before a human looks
~10%
chance of even reaching the hiring manager through the normal route

Most people know direct outreach works. Few get results from it, for two reasons:

  1. Who they reach out to (often the wrong person)
  2. The way they reach out (messages that never get read)

That's exactly what Access 2 Jobs is built to fix.

Why reaching out works

A small slice of applicants, a huge slice of hires. Reaching a human drastically improves your chances.

7×
more likely to get hired when you come in as a referral, versus applying cold.
30–50%
of hires come from referrals and direct outreach, from just ~7% of applicants.

A referral isn't only someone you already know. Reach the right person directly, have them put you forward, and that's a referral too. Direct outreach is how you create one for yourself.

Sources: referred candidates make up ~7% of applicants but 30–50% of hires, and are several times more likely to be hired than cold applicants (Jobvite, SHRM, National University 2026; Pinpoint analysis of 4.5M applications).

Hi Elena,

I saw you are hiring for a Senior Product Designer role, have you found someone already?

Looking forward to hearing if you still need someone.

Thanks,
David

How this is different from what you've tried

✕
LinkedIn Premium: paid, still no response.
✕
Job boards: the same listings as everywhere else.
✕
Auto-appliers: more applications, into the same place that wasn't answering.
✕
Apollo, Hunter.io: good at finding an email, but they can't tell you who's actually hiring for your role.
✓
Access 2 Jobs: the actual hiring manager, and a message meant to get a reply.

Why I'm building this

I'm David. I applied to over 100 remote roles and didn't get a single reply, until I used the skill I'd learned recruiting for one of the largest agencies in the world: cold outreach. Suddenly I had multiple offers, none through the normal route.

I've since helped 350+ candidates get hired, and the blocker is nearly always the same. Your application sits in an ATS and the hiring manager never sees it. Access 2 Jobs is me putting the odds back in your favour.

This is me on LinkedIn
