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
There's an ATS, but at Riot, referrals get priority. Your cold application competes with sourced candidates and internal recommendations.
Who to contact at Riot
Contact route not yet verified for Riot. For a 50-200-person B2B, Security company, expect the hiring manager or department lead to make the call — but this is a model, not confirmed data.
What Riot screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, B2B, Security): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Riot's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
A recycled CV gets rejected fast at Riot (50-200 people). They notice.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Riot 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.
