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
At <50 people, Pigeon has no recruiting team. Your application lands with a founder who is also running sales, product and payroll. The obstacle isn't a queue or an ATS, it's being seen at all. Cold outreach outperforms the form here, consistently.
Who to contact at Pigeon
No verified contact route for Pigeon yet. Based on size (<50) and sector (B2B), a founder or department head is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.
What Pigeon screens for
For a B2B company, expect them to prioritize relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously over credentials.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Pigeon's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a <50-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Skip 'I'm looking for...' — start with is growing fast after their null round and your specific angle on solving it.
The wait-and-hope strategy fails. Follow up on day five — response rates roughly double.
