How to Actually Get Hired
Who reads applications, which channel gets a reply, and what they screen for.
Don't make these mistakes
Don't pitch this as a generic AI play or lead with disruption language — the company is deliberate that EddyAI doesn't gatekeep admissions decisions, and its investors are education foundations. Mission fluency matters here: talk about transfer students and staff capacity, not model architectures.
What gets their attention
A step-up Series A in a sector where funding has collapsed, from a company that doubled engineering in four months and just installed a new CTO and COO — the org chart is being rebuilt right now, which is precisely when early conversations turn into created-for-you roles.
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
EdVisorly has an ATS but the real pipeline is referrals → sourced → recruiter picks → cold apps. You can still get through, but know where you stand.
Who to contact at EdVisorly
What to show them
Deploying software inside colleges and universities — SIS integrations (Banner, PeopleSoft, Ellucian), registrar and admissions-office workflows, and the change management of getting institutional staff to trust automation. Higher-ed operations experience beats generic CS experience here. Core skills: higher-ed systems, implementation project management, institutional stakeholder management.

Don't send a generic CV to EdVisorly. Mirror the job posting's language to get past automated screening.
Mistakes that kill applications
At people, a copy-paste CV is immediately obvious. It's an instant no.
Nobody cares what you want. Start with Higher education is being squeezed from both ends — more applications and transfer-credit volume to process, fewer staff and tighter budgets to do it — and much of the workflow still runs on decades-old systems or literal hand-processing and how you'd help.
Don't apply and wait. The median AI application gets no response ever. One follow-up at day five roughly doubles reply rates.
