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
Radar runs an applicant tracking system (Ashby), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Radar isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at Radar
Contact route not yet verified for Radar. For a -person Security company, expect the hiring manager to make the call — but this is a model, not confirmed data.
What Radar screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, Security): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
Customize your CV for the Radar role. Matching the job description language helps clear ATS filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
A recycled CV gets rejected fast at Radar ( people). They notice.
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.
