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
Hera runs an applicant tracking system (Ashby), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Hera isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at Hera
Contact route not yet verified for Hera. For a -person Healthcare company, expect the hiring manager to make the call — but this is a model, not confirmed data.
What Hera screens for
For a Healthcare company, expect them to prioritize relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously over credentials.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Hera'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.
Skip 'I'm looking for...' — start with is growing fast after their null round and your specific angle on solving it.
Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
