Hey eveyone,
Wanted to ask if cold emails are still useful at this point in the 2026 SA recruiting cycle. I have been sending out 25 a day that are all personalized but haven't had any responses for the last week. Is this an issue anyone else is having? Is cold emailing useless at this point in the cycle?
