Founder, HiringFunnel

Jared Dean is the founder of HiringFunnel, a career coaching and job-search automation platform for software engineers targeting $200K+ roles. He started HiringFunnel after going from $65K to $300K in 12 months as a software engineer — and realizing the playbook that got him there was just as repeatable for everyone else stuck in the same trap.

HiringFunnel pairs 1-on-1 coaching with applied-for-you automation: real browser sessions submit your optimized resume to matching roles around the clock while Jared and his team work directly with you on resume positioning, system-design and behavioral interview reps, and offer negotiation. Across clients who closed offers in 2026, the median salary increase is $58K, with most landing in 60-90 days.

Why Jared started HiringFunnel

Most career services for engineers are built by recruiters or generalists. Jared built HiringFunnel from the engineer's side of the table: someone who's done the senior-level loop, knows what an interviewer is actually scoring, and can read a job spec like the engineer who wrote it. The product reflects that — every coach on the platform is a senior engineer first, and the AI auto-applier is built in-house instead of resold.

What you can expect

  • A direct fit call — you talk to Jared or one of his sales partners, not a scripted SDR.
  • A real coaching cadence with a senior engineer who's shipped at scale, not a generalist career coach.
  • Application volume that's actually achievable — the AI auto-applier handles the long tail so your time goes into prep and final rounds.
  • A negotiation playbook calibrated to current $200K+ comp bands, not 2019 numbers.
