Arcadia was started in 2024 by two Duke graduates (former interns at Meta, McKinsey, Stripe & Citadel).
We started Arcadia because we realized that 80%+ of the people we talked to were mass applying to jobs without success; the average number of job applications for a CS undergrad was ~200, with <2% leading to an interview.
This wasn’t how we applied to jobs.
We would research companies that we were interested in, then used GPT to craft highly-personalized emails to recruiters at the company (sometimes engineers or founders if the company was a startup without a dedicated recruiter).
We found this to be significantly more effective; we had response rates of ~40%, half of which would lead to a first-round interview.
However, getting these emails was non-trivial. We ended up buying bulk data from providers such as Hunter & Apollo. Then, we would clean and verify the email addresses from these providers.
It turned out to be a relatively painful process, so we decided to start Arcadia as a way for people to leverage these emails. We have future plans to release our AI company researcher and email automator, but for now we are starting with just the emails since we believe this was the most important (and most difficult) part.
