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 describe it as a 'ChatGPT for real estate' — Henry's differentiation is that it's built on each firm's own data and templates with cited, on-brand output, syncing to a live Excel model. Don't underestimate how hard selling to brokers is; show you get the workflow.
What gets their attention
Understanding the CRE deal workflow (offering memorandums, underwriting, comps, buyer lists) and that Henry's moat is accumulated firm-specific data — 'every deal makes the next one easier to win' — shows you read the product, not just the headline.
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Henry AI uses an ATS, but referrals still come first. Cold applications aren't ignored — they're just behind referrals, sourced candidates, and recruiter picks.

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 FirstMark (Shopify, Discord, Pinterest) leading, with Thomson Reuters Ventures as a strategic, is a strong Series A signal 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.
