Cold emails to hiring managers, written from your resume

Sochen finds the people who hire for the roles you want, writes a short personal email to each from your resume and your own words, and sends them from your Gmail, a few at a time on weekdays, only after you’ve read every one and slid to start. When someone answers, it drafts your reply and helps you get ready for the conversation.

7 days of Plus for $5, then a monthly plan if you want one. Nothing renews on its own.

How it works

  1. 1

    Say what you want

    Attach your resume and name the roles, places and companies you want. Sochen asks for anything missing instead of guessing.
  2. 2

    Read every email

    It finds hiring managers and team leads with checked work emails and drafts one short email each. Edit or skip any of them.
  3. 3

    Slide to start

    They go from your own Gmail in your working hours, with a follow-up that stops the moment someone replies.

What it does

  • Written from your facts

    Every line comes from your resume or what you told it: no made-up mutual friends, flattery or numbers.
  • From your own Gmail

    Replies land in your inbox. Sochen sends a few emails an hour on weekdays, never a blast, and stops following up with anyone who answers.
  • Replies, answered with you

    When someone answers, Sochen drafts your reply, with free times from your calendar if you connect it, and waits for your OK. A “not now” becomes a check-in on the day they named.
  • Ready for the interview

    Someone wants to talk? Sochen reads up on the company from its own site, lists the questions you're likely to get with answers from your experience, and can remind you before the call.
  • Your resume, fitted to a posting

    Paste a job posting: Sochen shows what it asks for that your resume doesn't, and rewrites your summary and top bullets using only what's true.

Questions

Is it free?+
Every account starts with a 7-day trial of Plus for one payment of $5 (₹199 in India). It never renews: after 7 days you pick a plan if you want to keep going. The free tools at sochen.dev/tools need no account at all. Tailoring your resume, interview prep and reminders are included. Finding people's work emails and sending from your Gmail are paid; Sochen shows the price where you are before anything is charged.
Will it send anything without me?+
No. Nothing goes out until you've read the emails and slid to start, and every reply Sochen drafts for you waits for your OK too.
Does it make things up?+
No. It writes only from your resume and what you tell it, and never invents a mutual contact, a compliment or a result. When something is missing, it asks.
Who does it email?+
People at work: hiring managers, team leads and recruiters, at work addresses it checks first. It never writes to personal addresses, and leaves out anyone who opted out or bounced before.
Can it write in Spanish, Portuguese or Hindi?+
Yes. It writes the emails in the language you choose, and talks with you in yours.
Does it work outside the US?+
Yes, from India, Latin America and anywhere else. It sends in your working hours, and can offer to send in the hours of the people you're writing to.
