Ballista is a job application service that mails premium printed resumes and cover letters directly to hiring managers via physical mail, helping candidates bypass automated applicant tracking systems (ATS) and stand out from digital applications.
Key features:
- Physical Resume Mailing: Prints resumes on 90lb bond paper and sends them via USPS First-Class Mail (5-7 business days) or certified mail with tracking
- Decision Maker Targeting: Analyzes job links to suggest top decision makers with names, addresses, and scores
- Cryptographic Verification: Includes QR codes in cover letters that cryptographically prove human effort to prevent AI spam detection
- Credit-Based Pricing: Uses a credit system with packages starting at $10 for one application, with credits that never expire
The service targets job seekers who want to bypass online application filters and get their resumes directly to decision makers.
