JobTeaser or Screeningpass: apply, or write to the decision-maker?
On JobTeaser, you find a listing and click “Apply”. You end up completing a form on the company’s careers site, where your application joins the others. Screeningpass gives you a name on the hiring team, their checked professional email address and a message prepared from your CV. You write to a person, rather than a form.
What happens after you find a listing
This is where the two tools differ. Finding a listing has become easy. Getting it read by someone who recruits is much harder.
With JobTeaser
- You find the listing in your school’s student area.
- You are redirected to the company’s application process, often its careers site.
- You complete the form and attach your CV and cover letter.
- Your application reaches the recruitment system alongside those of other candidates. You do not know who will read it or when.
With Screeningpass
- You choose a listing in the catalogue or paste one you found elsewhere, for example on JobTeaser.
- Screeningpass searches for someone connected to the role: the team manager, a department lead or the recruiter. You see their name, role and LinkedIn profile.
- Screeningpass searches for and checks their professional email address. A confidence level tells you whether it is confirmed.
- A message is prepared using your CV and the listing. You review it, then send it from Gmail to their inbox.
Why an email to the right person matters
On a careers site, your application is one line in a list. It is often sorted by software or someone managing dozens of roles at once.
An email to the team manager reaches someone who knows the need, understands what the intern will do and can pass on your CV or suggest a call.
The hard part is knowing whom to write to and finding their address. That is what Screeningpass does. No one can guarantee a response, but your message reaches the right person rather than remaining in a form.

Finding and contacting a recruiter: your questions
JobTeaser helps you find the listing. These five questions start where it leaves off.
How can I find the recruiter’s email address for an internship listing?
Open the listing in the Screeningpass catalogue or paste its description into Contact Finder. Screeningpass identifies someone connected to the role, searches for their professional email address and checks it with the company’s mail server. Each suggested address has a confidence level: high, medium or low.
Who should I send my application to when the listing gives no name?
To the relevant team manager or the person recruiting for the role. Screeningpass reads the title, team and city in the listing to suggest a contact in the right department, prioritising the office where the role is based. You see their name, role and LinkedIn profile before writing.
How can I contact the company directly about a listing seen on JobTeaser?
Copy the listing description and paste it into Contact Finder. The company and job title are found in the text. Screeningpass then suggests a team contact, their professional email address and a message ready to review. Your JobTeaser application remains valid alongside it.
How can I tell whether a recruiter’s email address is valid?
An address guessed from a first-name.surname pattern may not exist. Screeningpass checks each address with the company’s mail server. High confidence means the address is confirmed. Medium confidence means the server accepts all addresses, so this one cannot be confirmed. Low confidence means verification was inconclusive. A generic mailbox such as contact@ is never suggested.
How can I write an application email to a manager using my CV?
A good message is short: it mentions the listing and links one or two experiences from your CV to the team’s need. Screeningpass prepares it from your CV and the listing without inventing experience, in your chosen style: Formal, Impactful, Concise or Warm. You edit it if needed, then send it from Gmail.
What JobTeaser does better
According to JobTeaser, it is the careers platform for more than 800 institutions. If your school is a partner, you can find listings published for its network, fairs, workshops and appointments from your careers centre.
Screeningpass offers none of those services. It does not replace your school or a careers adviser. If you mainly want careers guidance or to meet companies at a fair, JobTeaser is the right tool.
Use both
You do not have to choose. Find listings on JobTeaser. When one interests you, you can also copy its description into Contact Finder.
Screeningpass finds someone on the team and their professional email address, and prepares your message. You send your formal application and can also write to someone who may help move it forward.
Paste a listing into Contact FinderYour questions
Is an email address guaranteed?
No. Screeningpass checks the address where possible and displays a confidence level: high, medium or low. A generic mailbox such as contact@ is never suggested as a recipient.
Does Screeningpass send the message for me?
No. You review the message, edit it if needed, then send it from your own Gmail account. Nothing is sent without your click.
How much does it cost?
Your account includes 3 credits on registration. A contact search costs 1 credit; if it fails, the credit is refunded. After a successful search, you can regenerate the message without another credit. Élan then costs €6.99 per month for 100 credits. View pricing.
