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
postman runs an applicant tracking system (Greenhouse), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to postman isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at postman
Contact route not yet verified for postman. For a -person DevTools company, expect the hiring manager to make the call — but this is a model, not confirmed data.
What postman screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, DevTools): demonstrated technical depth and shipped projects. Show what you've shipped.
Customize your CV for the postman role. Matching the job description language helps clear ATS 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.
