Three questions people ask before they write to a hiring manager on LinkedIn, each answered by hand first, then with how a HeyLead job-search campaign does the same and holds every reply for you.

- [How to find the hiring manager for a job on LinkedIn](https://heylead.dev/answers/how-to-find-the-hiring-manager-for-a-job-on-linkedin): read the posting for the team, filter the company people by department, go one or two levels up, check recent activity, add the recruiter.
- [How to reach a hiring manager on LinkedIn](https://heylead.dev/answers/how-to-reach-a-hiring-manager-on-linkedin): apply first, connect with a note that names the role, one message once accepted, wait a week.
- [What to say to a hiring manager on LinkedIn](https://heylead.dev/answers/what-to-say-to-a-hiring-manager-on-linkedin): the role and the fact, why this team, one proof point, one question, under 80 words, no CV.

The campaign behind them is described on [job search with HeyLead](https://heylead.dev/use-cases/job-search); the message shapes are on [templates](https://heylead.dev/templates). HeyLead is not affiliated with LinkedIn. It reaches LinkedIn through Unipile, which is also not affiliated.
