Networking Agent 1.0: referral-first job networking, for any field, on your own Claude tokens.
The job funnel is flooded with AI-generated noise β recruiters spot generic outreach in seconds and bin it. What still works is a warm referral (~28.5% vs ~2.7% hire rate for cold applicants). This agent exists for exactly that: five personalized messages to the right people beat fifty generic ones.
What you get
- Guided onboarding, any field β
/network-setupinterviews you and builds your profile (school, employers, target roles, a focus taxonomy for your domain), your voice doc, field-adapted persona templates, and a provenance-tagged resume library. A backend engineer, a nurse, and an aerospace stress analyst run the same pipeline with different profiles. - Two front doors β Campaign mode (
/network-run) builds a bench at a target company; Application mode (/network-jobs) finds referral candidates per job posting you're applying to and answers "do I have a referral for this req yet?". One engine, cross-deduped. - The right people, ranked and explained β deterministic referral-likelihood scoring (confirmed alumni 40 pts, warm connections, recruiters, role-team match) with every point's reason attached.
- Your voice, never fabricated β drafts follow a validated 4-part model with a hard specificity gate; facts come only from your resume library with provenance (coursework is never dressed up as employment, no invented metrics); an anti-AI-tell critic holds anything that smells generated.
- The full loop β capped follow-ups (2 touches, 4β7-day gap), timezone-aware send windows, reply-aware next moves (thank-the-intro / sponsorship / referral-ask / schedule-call), outcome tracking, and per-posting referral status.
- A coach, not just a tool β
/network-coachexplains the strategy in terms of the agent's real mechanics, and the pipeline explains its choices as it presents them. - Runs on your Claude session's tokens β no Anthropic API topup. A free-tier Serper key (or Apify) for discovery is the only hard requirement. The human always reviews and sends; the agent never touches LinkedIn.
