Stop applying. Start interviewing.
Ronin sweeps the boards on your schedule, writes a resume for each posting worth your time, and drafts the note to the person you want to reach - in your voice, when you ask for it. You approve everything, and you send it from your own inbox.
Most job-search tools dump links into a Chrome tab, and the auto-apply bots spray the same resume at two hundred postings a week. Ronin does the slow half properly: fewer roles, each one read, a resume rewritten against the actual job description, and a message you would be happy to have sent under your own name.
How It Works
From signup
to interviews
Set up your profile
Upload your resume, paste your LinkedIn, name the roles and locations you want. Ten minutes, one time.
Ronin brings you the roles
Sweeps every two hours through the working day across LinkedIn and Indeed, plus a direct read of employers' own ATS boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby). Only postings that clear your targets reach your board; the rest are kept aside rather than thrown away.
Apply with a resume written for the posting
Ronin rewrites your resume against that job description and drafts the cover letter when the listing asks for one. You read them, edit them, and click Submit on the ATS yourself.
Reach a human, then track it
Add the people you want to talk to and Ronin writes the email or LinkedIn message for that specific role. Send through your connected Gmail in one click. Everything from applied to offer sits on one pipeline.
Where the real leverage lives
Jobs get filled through people.
Ronin helps you reach them.
Two studies, both large, both public. They do not measure the same thing, so we will not pretend they add up. Read together they say the same thing twice: what you send matters, and how you arrive matters more.
What you send
Measured by Huntr, 1.61M+ applications.
- The same resume everywhere3%HuntrAbout 34 applications for one interview. This is the pile everyone is in.
- A resume written for the posting6%HuntrRoughly halves the work: about 17 applications for the same interview.
How you arrive
Measured by Ashby, 38M+ applications across 93,000 jobs.
- Cold, through the form3%AshbyThe application nobody inside the company is expecting.
- Sourced by the company25%AshbyThey came to you. Not something you can make happen on demand, and here because it is the middle of the same scale.
- Referred by someone inside40%AshbySomebody who works there put your name in. This is what makes knowing one person at a company worth the ten minutes it takes to find out.
5.95% reach an interview, against 2.9% Huntr, 1.61M+ applications.
Applied cold 3%. Referred 40%. Ashby, 38M+ applications across 93,000 jobs.
Separate studies measuring different things, on different sets of applications. They do not add up, and Ronin does not claim either rate as its own.
Ronin writes the resume for the posting, and once your contacts are in it tells you which of your own people work at each company on your board and drafts the note to them. You click Submit on the employer's site, and you press send. Scout gets 5 outreach drafts a month, Ronin 10, Shogun 60.
What a draft actually looks like
Specific. Short. Worth a reply.
The shape of what lands in your composer. Two channels per person, sized for each: 800 to 1500 characters for email, under 600 for LinkedIn.
Subject: Caching tooling on Edge - quick note
Hi Sarah,
Your Staff SWE posting for the Edge platform team specifically calls out cache-invalidation latency under bursty load. That's the exact problem I shipped a fix for at my last role, dropping p99 from 410ms to 95ms on a 50M-req/day path.
I've spent the last 4 years on edge + CDN tooling, and a YC infra startup before that. I'd love to be considered for the role.
If a 15-minute chat would help you screen me out or in, my Calendly is in my signature.
Thanks,
Justin
Hi Mike,
Saw your Engineering Manager (Payments Platform) opening. The note about reducing cross-team handoffs in the merchant-onboarding flow stood out: I led the same kind of consolidation last year, 4 teams to 2, shipped 30% faster.
Would a short call this week be worth it?
Thanks,
Justin

Low-friction ask
vs. auto-apply bots
Volume is easy. Hit rate is the point.
| Auto-apply bots | Ronin | |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | 100-200 generic apps / week | The roles that clear your targets, read one at a time |
| Resume | One blast file for every job | Rewritten against the posting, every time |
| Who you reach | ATS form only | The people you bring, written to individually |
| Outreach voice | Generic AI cliche or none at all | Specific, grounded in the posting, in your voice |
| Quality control | None. Fire and forget | Nothing is written until you ask, or sent until you press send |
| Recruiter reputation | Burned. They spot the pattern | Strengthened. They remember the specific note |
The bot approach is the reason cold applications now feel pointless. Recruiters got tired of the spray. Ronin builds the relationship work into every application instead of replacing it.

No. Ronin tailors your resume per job, drafts a cover letter, opens the application URL ready for you to paste and submit, then records what you applied to. Real auto-submission across the messy ATS landscape doesn't work reliably yet, so we'd rather under-promise and have your applications actually count.
Two parallel streams. A keyword sweep across LinkedIn and Indeed runs every two hours through the working day via a partner aggregator. Alongside it, a direct read of employers' own ATS boards (Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby) pulls postings straight from the source, with no keyword noise and the full description as the company wrote it.
Never, and it goes further than that: Ronin never writes a message you did not ask for. Nothing is drafted on a schedule or in the background. You press the button, the draft appears in the composer, you edit it, and it only leaves when you press send.
No. You bring the people: import your LinkedIn connections, your Google or iCloud contacts, or type a name in. Ronin shows you who you already know at each company in your pipeline and writes the message to whoever you pick. We deliberately stopped scraping strangers.
Upload it. Ronin will analyze your existing resume, suggest improvements, and then tailor a version of it for each specific application.
Bump up a tier (prorated against your current period) or grab a $20 Boost Pack: a one-time top-up that adds capacity for the rest of the month. Boosts roll off at your next renewal.
Bots spray generic applications at scale and hurt your reputation. Ronin rewrites your resume against each posting, which on Huntr’s 1.61M+ applications is the difference between a 2.9% and a 5.95% interview rate, and then helps you reach a person you actually know at the company. Ashby’s 38M+ applications across 93,000 jobs put a cold application at 3% and a referred one at 40%. Those are separate studies and we will not add them together, but they point the same way: quality over quantity, and a human over a form.
