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
Maia 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 Maia
No verified contact route for Maia yet. Based on size (<50) and sector (Healthcare, Consumer Health and Wellness), a founder or department head is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.
What Maia screens for
For a Healthcare, Consumer Health and Wellness company, expect them to prioritize relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously over credentials.
Customize your CV for the Maia 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 Maia 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.
