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 (Ashby), but at Front, referrals get priority. Your cold application competes with sourced candidates and internal recommendations.
Who to contact at Front
Contact route not yet verified for Front. For a -person company, expect the hiring manager to make the call — but this is a model, not confirmed data.
What Front screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, ): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Front'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 Front 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.
