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 (breezy), but at Scentbird, referrals get priority. Your cold application competes with sourced candidates and internal recommendations.
Who to contact at Scentbird
No verified contact route for Scentbird yet. Based on size (50-200) and sector (Consumer, Apparel and Cosmetics), the hiring manager or department lead is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.
What Scentbird screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, Consumer, Apparel and Cosmetics): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.
Customize your CV for the Scentbird role. Matching the job description language helps clear ATS filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a 50-200-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Scentbird 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.
