Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Outschool runs an applicant tracking system (Greenhouse), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Outschool isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at Outschool

Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a 50-200-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.

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