Getting set up

This setup takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on how many of these tools you've already signed up for. Do it once and you're ready to run your job search.

Stuck on anything? Join the Slack community or email support@quorom.io.

What Quorom does

The right companies and people — whether you’re building a business, deepening your network, or searching for new employment — are hard to find and harder to reach. Quorom helps you focus on the ones that matter and turn each into a real connection. All through Claude.

1. Use Chrome~2 min

Claude's connectors and MCP integrations work best in Chrome. Download it at google.com/chrome if you don't have it. Safari works for basic usage but Chrome is recommended.

2. Set up Claude~10 min

  2. 2.Upgrade to Claude Pro ($20/mo) — required for Quorom
  3. 3.Create a new Project — click “Projects” in the left sidebar, then “New Project”. Name it “Job Search — [Your Name]”
  4. 4.Paste the Project instructions from your approval email into the “Set instructions” field in your Project
  5. 5.Upload your resume as a Project file — click “Add content” in your Project, then upload your resume PDF
  6. 6.Add your “About me” note to the Project instructions — paste the template from your approval email and fill it in

3. Sign up for these tools~15–20 min

All of these have free tiers except LinkedIn Premium. Sign up in this order.

LinkedIn Premium~$40/mo

Download the Mac app, then connect your Google or Microsoft Calendar so your scheduled meetings appear automatically. (Windows users: Fathom doesn’t have a Windows desktop app yet — you’ll need to use the meeting bot model instead.)

Vibe ProspectingFree (400 credits)
vibeprospecting.ai

Primary company discovery.

ClayFree tier
clay.com

Supplementary company discovery and verified-email lookup. Use when Vibe’s list feels too narrow, or when you need an email for the Phase 3 email follow-up.

LushaFree (40 credits/mo)
lusha.com

4. Connect your tools to Claude~10 min

MCP connectors are how Claude communicates with your other tools. You add each one once in Claude Settings → Connectors, and they stay connected across all your sessions. Here's what to add:

QuoromCustom connector — URL on your dashboard. Holds your student profile, target companies, contacts, and outreach log.
Web searchBuilt into Claude — confirm it’s enabled in your Project settings. Required for research.
Vibe ProspectingCustom connector — URL on your dashboard
ClayCustom connector — URL on your dashboard
FathomAvailable in the Anthropic connector directory — one-click install
Outlook or GmailPick whichever inbox your LinkedIn notifications go to. Used to detect LinkedIn connection acceptance emails at the start of each session.
LeadIQCustom connector — requires your OAuth Client ID from LeadIQ Settings → Integrations
LushaCustom connector — URL on your dashboard
ApolloCustom connector — URL on your dashboard

5. Configure your Quorom student profile~20–30 min

Before any company search, you set up a student profile in Quorom that captures what you're targeting — role direction, location, experience level. This profile feeds everything downstream: which companies Vibe surfaces, how Claude scores them, what your outreach hook is.

If you don't know exactly what you want, say so to Claude and ask it to push you. Don't accept a two-question discovery and move on. A thin profile produces thin scores produces thin decisions.

When you're done, ask Claude to show you exactly what got saved to your profile, field by field. If anything looks wrong or invented, fix it before moving on.

6. Before you start — check these~5 min

You're ready

Open Claude, go to your Job Search project, and start your first session.
