The problem
Why the application form isn't working
The graduate pipeline is built to filter you out at speed. Going direct is the only reliable way around it.
Your CV is screened by software
Applications are ranked and cut automatically before a person reads them. A strong candidate with the wrong keywords never reaches the desk that matters.
The best roles are never posted
Teams hire from inbound interest and referrals long before a listing goes up. If you only apply to what you can see, you're competing for what's left.
You find out too late
Deadlines land months before you'd think to look, and rejections arrive without a reason. By the time the cycle closes, there's nothing to act on.

From a company name to a researched, personalised draft — the whole loop, unedited.
Success stories
Students who broke through
“I sent 30 personalised emails in one afternoon. Got 12 replies and 4 interviews. Landed my summer internship at a top consulting firm.”
“Cold emailing felt impossible before this. The AI actually writes emails that sound like me — not a robot. My reply rate went from 2% to 28%.”
How it works
Three steps, and you own every one of them
Find the person
Name a company, or describe the kind of team you want in a sentence. Sesame searches, surfaces the people who actually own the hiring, and reveals a work address for the one you pick — not a scrape of everyone there.
Get a draft, not a template
Each draft is built from what Sesame found about that person and their team, then written out in full. It opens in an editor, because the last read before it sends should be yours.
Send from your own mailbox
Connect Gmail or Outlook and the email goes out from your address, in a thread you can reply in. Opens and replies come back into Sesame, and anyone who answers stops receiving follow-ups.
Features
What you actually get
Search in plain English
Describe the role and the sort of place you want it at. Sesame turns that into a search and comes back with named people at real companies, not a list of firms to work through yourself.
Contacts, revealed one at a time
You pick the person, then spend 5 credits only when Sesame reveals an address. No buying a list of two hundred to write to four of them.
Drafts you can edit
Every draft lands in a normal editor with the research it was written from. Change the tone, cut a paragraph, rewrite the opener. Nothing sends until you send it.
Replies in one place
Sent mail and replies thread back into Sesame against the lead they belong to, so a week of outreach is one screen instead of a search through your inbox.
Follow-ups with predictable cost
Most replies come from the second email. Sesame reserves 1 credit for each follow-up, cancels it when someone replies, and refunds unused reservations before delivery.
Opens and replies, tracked
See what was opened and what came back. It's the signal that tells you which companies to keep working and which list to stop rewriting.

Deliverability
Built so your mailbox survives
Cold email fails when it burns the sender. Every send runs through the same safety path — no way to opt out of it, including by accident.
Gradual warm-up
New mailboxes start at 8 sends a day and step up weekly — to 15, 30, 50, then 100 — only while your bounce and complaint rates stay clean.
Encrypted mailbox access
You connect Gmail or Outlook over OAuth — we never hold your password. Tokens are sealed with AES-256-GCM and your data sits behind row-level isolation.
Automatic circuit breaker
If complaints or bounces cross a safe threshold, sending pauses itself before the damage compounds. It resumes on its own once the signals age out.
Pre-send screening
Every draft is screened before it leaves, ahead of any credit being charged. Anything that reads as deceptive or unsafe is held rather than sent.
One-click unsubscribe
Standards-compliant List-Unsubscribe headers on every message, so recipients opt out in one click instead of reaching for the spam button.
Suppression that sticks
Unsubscribes, bounces and complaints are recorded per account and enforced on every future send. Once someone opts out, they stay out.
FAQ
Common questions
Is this spam?
No. Each email goes from your own mailbox to one person you chose, and every message carries a working one-click unsubscribe. Sending starts at 8 a day and only steps up while your bounce and complaint rates stay clean — the limit isn't optional, and there's no setting that turns it off.
Do I need connections to use this?
No, and that's the point. Sesame finds the person and their work address for you. A company name is enough to start; a sentence about the kind of team you want works too.
What does a credit buy?
A delivered company search, successful email reveal, company enrichment, or AI draft costs 5 credits. An initial send or whole-email rewrite costs 2. A reserved follow-up or selection rewrite costs 1. Cached and zero-result searches are free, and failed operations are refunded when no usable result was delivered. Paid allowances reset every Monday UTC and do not roll over.
Will they know it was written by AI?
You're the last edit before anything sends. Drafts are built from real detail about the person and their team rather than a template with the company name swapped in, but they open in an editor for a reason — read it, cut what doesn't sound like you, then send.
Which mailbox can I connect?
Gmail or Outlook, over OAuth. We never see your password. Tokens are encrypted at rest, and you can disconnect the account whenever you want.
