SubjectI want to work at your company, Northwind
If you want someone who's never heard of you to read your email, the subject line needs to feel genuine and get straight to the point. It all starts with a good subject line.

I counted the emails Brilliant Applicant sent from my email address. There were 773. It took 39 days from the first automated email to the day I was hired.
About 90% were automated emails containing my message and CV. The rest consisted of replies from kind people at the companies who forwarded my email to HR and let me know they had done so, or direct communication between me and the companies' HR departments.
If you ask people in your emails to forward your message to whoever is responsible for hiring, that's when you start receiving more responses. I think that's the whole trick. If a CEO, a CFO, a CTO, or anyone senior forwards your message to HR, they treat you as if you had been referred. Nobody knows you, yet you've essentially created your own referral. Interesting psychology, in my opinion.
And one more thing. Send your message to at least 7 people per company. Writing to only one or two people reduces the possibility of your email being forwarded to HR. I once set the application to send my email to 10 people per company. One day, an HR representative called me to ask why I had sent so many emails to people at the company, because most of them had forwarded the exact same message to HR. Choose a target number of attempts that doesn't look like spam but is still high enough for someone to actually forward your message to HR.
In those 39 days, I had more than 15 conversations, either online or by phone. I received two offers and turned one down. When I started my new job, I was grateful to the company that hired me and to the people who built this.

First of all, every email goes out from your own email address, so write them with care. The person reading your email has never heard of you and has no idea that such a system exists.
I have been using it for about 8 days. I had my first interview booked on day 2. So far, I've interviewed with two companies, and another interview is scheduled for next week. After all the time I spent on LinkedIn submitting so many applications without getting a single interview, this was just what I needed. Things may have moved quickly for me, but even the conversations themselves have helped me feel more confident.
I hope I find a job soon.
A wide search can use a lot of credits, and it reaches a lot of people. A narrow one uses few, or none, so fewer people hear from you, or nobody does. A credit is used only when a verified email is found. You add the credits yourself. When the balance runs out, new searches wait until you add more.
