Welcome to The Recruiting Playbook: Our weekly series where we discuss tactical strategies to get interview invites, referrals, and ultimately, offers.

==============================================Writing 40–50 unique cover letters manually is a waste of time.

But copying and pasting the same generic letter will get you rejected.

In this episode, we break down how to mass produce high-quality consulting cover letters using the “Frankenstein method” — modular writing that scales without sacrificing precision.

We cover:

• Why writing from scratch every time is inefficient
• How to build “Lego block” paragraphs
• The difference between tailoring and rewriting
• How to customize for firm culture and practice area
• Avoiding generic AI-generated cover letters
• Saving hours while increasing application volume

Consulting recruiting is a numbers game.

If you want to apply to 40–50 firms, your system needs to be scalable.

This episode shows you how.
