"My first call was with the VP of Hardware—Relentless helped me skip straight to real decision-makers."

The biggest value for me was getting direct access to VPs and real decision-makers—people actually leading these companies. It felt like I was skipping the usual steps and jumping straight into meaningful conversations.

That happened more than once, and in the role I ultimately accepted, my very first call was with the VP of Hardware. Building that connection early made all the difference. Especially now, when LinkedIn job posts can get hundreds or thousands of applicants, this approach really helped me stand out.

Just last week, a VP told me they appreciated that I reached out directly—it showed initiative. That’s not something you get from just submitting a resume.
