A job search for the United States
Whomwise finds the employers that fit you, works out who to write to at each one, and prepares every message with its facts sourced. You read it and send it.
For anyone looking for work in the United States, in any field: students, new graduates, people changing direction, and anyone who'd rather write to a person than send another application into the void.
Upload your CV and see what we find in you before you make an account. Until you save it, it stays in your browser and is deleted after 24 hours. Free to start, no card. The demo is a made-up person: nothing sent, nothing charged.
Applications per hire
Applications per hire rose from 121 in 2021 to over 300.
Ashby, 109 million applications, 2026
And when AI made cover letters easy, employers stopped trusting them.
How it works
Keep scrolling. The desk moves sideways.
01
Upload your CV, add your LinkedIn export if you like, and answer six quick questions a CV can't. We read it and suggest where you fit, with typical pay and how often employers there sponsor visas. You see what we found and can correct it.
Example: made-up person
circle the ones you want
02
We look past the job boards: employers that fit you and are growing, including small ones that rarely post. We keep watching for new roles.
Example: made-up employers
03
At each employer: who leads the team you'd join, and something true and recent to say, with its source.
Example: made-up person
04
It sounds like you and waits in Messages. One click opens it in your own email, ready to send. Connect your mailbox (read-only) and we notice replies and bounces for you.

I saw your talk on cutting empty miles, and the part about route data stuck with me…
The numbers
1 in 7
Roughly one in seven US hires isn't preceded by a job opening.
Davis, Faberman & Haltiwanger, Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2013, from US Bureau of Labor Statistics data, 2001–2006
1.7 vs 0.7
Workplaces with under 50 staff make up to 1.7 hires per posted opening. At 1,000+ staff it's 0.7.
Same study. Smaller employers hire more around their postings.
13×
Referred candidates were 13 times more likely to reach an interview than job-board applicants.
Ashby, 38 million applications, 2021–2024 (40% vs 3%). Referred candidates are pre-screened, so the channel alone doesn't explain the gap.
A message from you isn't a referral. But it reaches a person who can answer, instead of a pile. Whomwise finds the person to write to.

To whom it may concern,Dear Priya,
I saw your talk at the Midwest Freight Forum on cutting empty miles. The part about route data nobody cleans stuck with me.
← her talk, April · source linkedAt my internship I rebuilt that kind of dataset for a 40-truck fleet and cut the weekly report from two days to one hour.
← from your CVWould you have 15 minutes in the next two weeks? I'd like to hear how your team handles it.

In your own words.
Sent by you.
My friend struggled to find a job, so I wanted to build a tool that helps her find a job that fits her visa requirements.
In this economy one must do coldmailing. So we tried AI-based mass-coldmailing but recruiters are drowning in applications written by AI. So this goes the other way: fewer messages, each one personal, every fact with its source, written so it sounds like you and not like AI. And you ultimately send them from your own email by yourself.
