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
There's an ATS (Greenhouse), but at Close, referrals get priority. Your cold application competes with sourced candidates and internal recommendations.
Who to contact at Close
No verified contact route for Close yet. Based on size (50-200) and sector (B2B, Sales), the hiring manager or department lead is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.
What Close screens for
For a B2B, Sales company, expect them to prioritize relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously over credentials.
Customize your CV for the Close role. Matching the job description language helps clear ATS filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a 50-200-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Close 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.
