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 Zorba, referrals get priority. Your cold application competes with sourced candidates and internal recommendations.
Who to contact at Zorba
Contact route not yet verified for Zorba. For a -person Real Estate and Construction company, expect the hiring manager to make the call — but this is a model, not confirmed data.
What Zorba screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, Real Estate and Construction): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Zorba's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a -person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Zorba 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.
