Most job searches fail quietly. You apply, you wait, you get nothing back, and you assume the problem is your resume. Usually it is not. Usually the problem is that nobody inside the company knows your name.
Referrals work. Everyone knows that. The thing nobody can tell you is whether your specific network, the one you actually have, contains the people who could refer you. Until now you had to guess.

Start for $10You find out in ninety seconds whether this goal is realistic with the network you have.
Hiring managers, people already in the role, recruiters, founders, insiders. We tell you which lane is empty.
Every relevant person in your network, ordered, with the reason they matter written out.
We show you where a referral path plausibly exists and how confident we are about it.
Two or three lines per person, built from what they actually do. No 'I hope this finds you well'.
Ordered actions with the specific person attached to each one.
We do not scrape LinkedIn. You give us a file you downloaded yourself.
We do not message anyone for you. We write the message, you decide whether to send it.
We cannot see your second-degree connections, because LinkedIn does not export them. So we never claim your friend knows the hiring manager. We show you where a path plausibly exists and we label how sure we are.
We do not sell your data or use it to train anything. You can delete all of it from your settings page, right now, without emailing anyone.
“I was applying to roles without really understanding how much my existing network mattered. Backchannel helped me identify warm paths into companies and gave me a much clearer idea of who to reach out to before applying. Super useful if you hate cold outreach.”
“What I liked most about Backchannel is that it turns LinkedIn connections into something actionable. It showed me the gaps in my network, the types of people I needed to know, and where I already had potential introductions.”
“Backchannel made networking feel much more intentional. Instead of randomly messaging people on LinkedIn, I could actually see where my network was weak and who I should be connecting with. It made my job search feel far more strategic.”
