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
Plane 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 Plane
No verified contact route for Plane yet. Based on size (<50) and sector (B2B, Human Resources), a founder or department head is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.
What Plane screens for
For a B2B, Human Resources company, expect them to prioritize relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously over credentials.
Customize your CV for the Plane 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 Plane 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.
