What he's asking is where he can apply and get an offer without having 1500 hours.
First look at the places offering sign on bonuses with 1 to 2 year leashes costing about what first year pay will be. Those places want warm bodies. If you want a job working for a regional where you won't hide your wings while strolling the airport - then avoid the dangling carrot of money up front to get it in the rear.

If you're close to mins (as listed on the company's website) and are interested in working for that company, send them a resume. Worst they'll say is "no thanks".
If the company is hard on the 50 hours or 100 hours of multi-engine time expect that it'll be a stipulation if they're nice enough to offer you an interview.
To whoever asked why airlines limit sim sessions to 8 as opposed to "train to pass" I'm sure part of it is liability. If 85% of the pilots hired can accomplish their training satisfactorily in 8 sessions the other 15% aren't the pilots "we" want working for "our" company. If the company trained those 15% of pilots with additional sessions, some lawyer would likely say "isn't it true that this pilot wasn't ready in the average amount of sim sessions?" and then "Do you hire substandard pilots knowingly?" followed by "That's why [your company here] is liable for $XX Million in damages"

For what it's worth I have just shy of 200 ME, and will qualify for an unrestricted at 1500 with over 500 XC if that even matters. No ATP written yet.

Got an invite to interview with PSA ~1275, Endeavor told me to keep building time and they'd speak to me in the future. No app in with AWAC yet.

In addition to the liability, the simulator is a very valuable asset. The company can't afford to be using it for remedial training on a regular basis. Those resources used to "train to pass" could be diverted to people the company is pretty sure can complete the training program as intended. It results in a higher throughput in the training department and a better ROI.
