How do you find out who the Hiring Managers are?

Quick Info.

You can check the company website for personnel info.
Also you can check on the company website to see what positions are open. This usually will provide you with further contact info and more of it than just job boards. Media/PR pages on the company website and the net usually help as well.


In the end- research. The internet is such a beautiful thing!


One really sneaky way to do it- and honestly, it is my favorite… call the company!Ask the receptionist for the spelling of the hiring managers name for X department- so you can be sure to spell it right on the letter.  Sometimes and if you are good enough… you can even finagle their email address out of the receptionist!!


Try those tips- and you will be getting somewhere!
