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 LeanData, referrals get priority. Your cold application competes with sourced candidates and internal recommendations.
Who to contact at LeanData
Contact route not yet verified for LeanData. For a -person SaaS company, expect the hiring manager to make the call — but this is a model, not confirmed data.
What LeanData screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, SaaS): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use LeanData's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
A recycled CV gets rejected fast at LeanData ( people). They notice.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what LeanData 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.
