Why applying the normal way doesn't work
With only <50 employees, CodeNow doesn't have dedicated recruiters. Founders review applications between running the company. The challenge isn't competition — it's visibility. Direct outreach wins.

What CodeNow screens for
At in Unspecified, hiring bars concentrate on relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously — shipped work over credentials, and evidence you can operate without process.
Don't send a generic CV to CodeNow. Mirror the job posting's language to get past automated screening.
Mistakes that kill applications
