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
Sherloq 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 Sherloq
No verified contact route for Sherloq yet. Based on size (<50) and sector (B2B, Analytics), a founder or department head is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.
What Sherloq screens for
For a B2B, Analytics company, expect them to prioritize relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously over credentials.
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Sherloq's job description language to clear 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 Sherloq 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.
