Built a small AI outreach tool because manually customizing emails was driving me insane.

I built a small AI tool that automatically personalizes and sends outreach emails with attachments.

You paste contacts in plain text like:

Name | Role | Email

and it:

writes custom emails for each person

adapts tone based on role/company

attaches resumes/files automatically

sends sequentially with live progress tracking

Originally built it to automate job applications and recruiter outreach.

Looking for a few recruiters/agencies/job seekers to test it.

Second suspicious “LinkedIn recruiter” interaction today — deleted post + personal Gmail

Second time seeing this today.

A recruiter posts a tech job on LinkedIn with an attractive salary, asks candidates to send CVs to a personal Gmail account, then later deletes the post and continues the conversation privately through email.

This one:
• Had no company name
• Used a personal Gmail instead of a company domain
• Asked for CV review/tailoring details through email
• Had a very generic “portfolio”/job flow

Maybe it’s legit, maybe not — but please be careful out there.

As job seekers, especially in tech, we’re already applying everywhere and scammers know that.

Before sharing personal information:
• Verify the company
• Check recruiter history/activity
• Look for official domain emails
• Confirm employee presence on LinkedIn
• Be cautious with random calls and deleted posts

Sharing screenshots for awareness.

Stay safe.

I recently got contacted for a fully remote software engineering role by recruiters claiming to work with a company called “Kaizen.” The communication flow seemed somewhat normal at first:

  • asked for my resume + LinkedIn
  • asked about my English level
  • scheduled an HR interview on Google Meet

But the recruiters were using personal Gmail addresses instead of official company emails, which immediately made me cautious.

I joined the Google Meet briefly, but when the interviewer introduced himself as “John” and asked me to turn my camera on right away, something felt off to me, so I disconnected and restarted my PC afterward just to be safe.

Later I did find that there actually is a real recruitment/staffing company called Kaizen in the UAE/MENA region, so now I’m confused whether:

  • this is a legitimate but informal recruiting process,
  • outsourced freelance recruiters,
  • or something potentially sketchy.

Have any of you experienced recruiters using Gmail accounts for remote tech hiring? Is this common in MENA/UAE recruiting, or was I right to be cautious?
