Why applying the normal way doesn't work

Banner 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 Banner

No verified contact route for Banner yet. Based on size (<50) and sector (Real Estate and Construction), a founder or department head is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.

What Banner screens for

For a Real Estate and Construction company, expect them to prioritize relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously over credentials.

Customize your CV for the Banner role. Matching the job description language helps clear ATS filters.

Mistakes that kill applications

Generic CVs stand out at a <50-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.

Don't open with what you want. Open with what Banner is dealing with right now — is growing fast after their null round, and what you'd do about it.

Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
