How to Actually Get Hired
Who reads applications, which channel gets a reply, and what they screen for.
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Affinity is <50 people. No recruiter, no HR. Your application goes to a founder juggling everything. Cold outreach is how you actually get seen.
Who to contact at Affinity
Contact route not yet verified for Affinity. For a <50-person B2B company, expect a founder or department head to make the call — but this is a model, not confirmed data.
What Affinity screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, B2B): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
Customize your CV for the Affinity role. Matching the job description language helps clear ATS filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
A recycled CV gets rejected fast at Affinity (<50 people). They notice.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Affinity is dealing with right now — is growing fast after their null round, and what you'd do about it.
The wait-and-hope strategy fails. Follow up on day five — response rates roughly double.
