What is a speculative application?

A direct approach to a company you want to work for, without waiting for a job posting. You reach out proactively, introduce yourself, and make the case for why you'd be a strong addition to their team. Done well, it puts you in front of hiring managers before anyone else gets a look in.

Most jobs are never advertised

Roles get filled through internal referrals, direct outreach, and conversations that happen before a posting ever goes live. The job board is the last resort for a recruiter, not the first. Targeting companies directly gets you access to the majority of the market that other candidates never reach.

What makes it work

A generic email gets ignored. A targeted, well-researched approach does not. The difference is knowing the company, leading with something specific, and sending a CV that speaks to their priorities rather than a generic posting.

Everything you need to approach any company

Add a company to your tracker and the full toolkit unlocks, even without a job description.

Company Briefing

Full research on the company: strategy, culture, recent news, hiring signals, and key challenges. Know the business before you write a word.

Tailored CV

Your CV adapted to the company's sector, priorities, and language. Even without a job description, we tailor it to the type of role you're targeting.

Cover Letter

A direct outreach letter, not a response to a posting. Written to show you know the company and have a specific reason for reaching out.

Application Email

A short, targeted note for reaching out directly, by email or LinkedIn. Professional and to the point.

Mock Interview

Practice for when they say yes. Simulate the interview using real company context, before it happens.

Common Questions

What exactly is a speculative application?
It's a direct approach to a company you want to work for, without waiting for a specific job posting. You reach out to introduce yourself and express your interest, giving the company a chance to consider you before a role is formally open.
Which tools work without a job description?
Company Briefing, Tailored CV, Cover Letter, Application Email, and Mock Interview all work without a job description. For speculative applications, the tools use the company's sector, culture, and business context instead of a specific role. The Gap Analysis becomes fully available once you add a role title.
Does the Company Briefing work for any company?
Yes. The briefing pulls together publicly available information: strategy, sector, recent activity, culture signals, and what the company tends to look for in hires. For smaller or less-publicised companies, results may be more limited, but you'll still get a useful sector overview.
Can I track multiple speculative applications?
Yes. Every speculative application gets its own workspace in the Job Tracker, just like a standard application. You can track your progress, add contacts, log interview dates, and manage follow-ups.
What if I don't know who to contact at the company?
The Company Briefing surfaces useful context on the company's structure and typical hiring approach. You can add contacts to your workspace manually, and where a LinkedIn URL is available, get a personalised brief on each person before you reach out.

Stop waiting for the right job to appear.

The best roles go to people who ask before the posting exists. Start targeting the companies you want.
