Recruiters skim for three signals: correct role level, relevant stack, and one proof point tied to the job description. Your first paragraph must name the title and company—no "To whom it may concern."
If you use Career Copilot, paste the vacancy link or title so the draft anchors on the same keywords the matcher already surfaced in your feed.
Paragraph 1 — hook: role + why this company (one sentence each). Paragraph 2 — proof: one project or metric mapped to a requirement from the posting. Paragraph 3 — close: availability and a single ask (interview or short call).
Keep total length under 250 words. Hiring managers forward short letters; walls of text rarely get read.
Mirror 2–3 phrases from the job description where they match your real experience—do not invent skills. Save the letter in Favorites on the vacancy so you can reopen it from your pipeline.
Browse community-rated templates on the Help page, then refine the draft in Copilot with the vacancy context pre-filled.
