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
Dexter 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 Dexter
No verified contact route for Dexter yet. Based on size (<50) and sector (B2B, Finance and Accounting), a founder or department head is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.
What Dexter screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, B2B, Finance and Accounting): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
Customize your CV for the Dexter role. Matching the job description language helps clear ATS filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a <50-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Dexter 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.
