Who reads applications, which channel gets a reply, and what they screen for.
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Prism 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 Prism
No verified contact route for Prism yet. Based on size (<50) and sector (B2B, Engineering, Product and Design), a founder or department head is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.
What Prism screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, B2B, Engineering, Product and Design): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Prism's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
A recycled CV gets rejected fast at Prism (<50 people). They notice.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Prism is dealing with right now — is growing fast after their null round, and what you'd do about it.
Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
