# The Side Door
> AI-powered job search tool that helps job seekers find and contact hiring managers directly.

## What it does
The Side Door takes any job posting URL and uses AI to identify both recruiters and department-level hiring managers at that company, verify their contact information through NeverBounce, and generate personalized outreach messages (email and LinkedIn). Users still apply for jobs normally — The Side Door ensures the hiring manager has a reason to look for their application.

## How it works
1. User pastes a job posting URL or description
2. AI extracts the role, company, and requirements
3. System identifies recruiters AND hiring managers (two-bucket strategy)
4. Email addresses are verified in real-time
5. AI generates personalized outreach using the user's career profile

## Key differentiators
- Job-posting-native: starts from the job you want, not a company search
- Two-bucket contact strategy: finds both recruiters AND hiring managers
- Email verification via NeverBounce before you see any contact
- AI-personalized messages built from your career profile, not templates
- No Chrome extension required — standalone web app
- Free tier available
