In this instructional video, the presenter explains a practical method for locating and contacting the recruiter responsible for a specific job posting on LinkedIn. Using a product manager role at Airtable in San Francisco as an example, they outline the steps: note the role title, company, and location; search LinkedIn for people at the company using keywords like "recruiter" and the functional area (e.g., "product"); evaluate profiles for relevance based on title, location, and product focus; and reach out even if you aren't certain the person manages the exact role. The speaker also notes that sometimes non‑recruiter staff may be more responsive, but the described approach is a reliable starting point. The video is part of a larger playlist teaching viewers how to get recruiters to bring them opportunities.

How do you know which recruiter to contact when you see an open job posting? Here's how. Let's say I want to contact a recruiter who's in charge of the product manager role at Airtable. I would just note a few things, the role title, the company name, and where it's located, San Francisco. I would head over to LinkedIn search. I would search people at Airtable, and then I would write these keywords, recruiter, product. Okay, this looks promising. He's not in San Francisco, but I'd click his profile anyways. Marta's next on our list here. She also looks promising with the product design, San Francisco. Let's see. So she has product design, she works in San Francisco, so this could be our gal. I say reach out to her too. Not about being 100% right of who manages the role. You just gotta throw a few lines into the water, reel 'em in, see what happens. Now, there are often better people in the organization to contact than recruiters because their inboxes are so overloaded, but this is an approach you can do. This is part of a playlist where I'm teaching you everything you need to know of how to get recruiters to bring you opportunities, so make sure you watch the full playlist. Go find those recruiters. You've got this. Wi-Fi high five.
