How to actually get hired at Alector
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Alector runs an applicant tracking system (Ashby), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Alector isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at Alector
No verified contact route for Alector yet. Expect the hiring manager for the team that's hiring to make the call, but treat this as a model, not confirmed data.

Mistakes that kill Alector applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. Whoever reads applications at Alector can tell, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Alector is dealing with right now — is growing, and what you'd do about it.
The wait-and-hope strategy fails. Follow up on day five — response rates roughly double.
