Avis

Why applying the normal way doesn't work

Avis runs an applicant tracking system (Workable), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Avis isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.

Who to contact at Avis

We haven't verified a contact route at Avis yet. The decision usually sits with the hiring manager for the team that's hiring, but that's a model, not something we've confirmed. Members get verified contacts first.

What Avis screens for

relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously

Tailor your CV to the specific Avis role rather than sending a general one. Applications that mirror the language of the job description clear automated filters at a materially higher rate.

Mistakes that kill Avis applications

• ✕

  Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. Whoever reads applications at Avis can tell, and it's the fastest rejection there is.

• ✕

  Lead with their problem, not your ambition. Avis is focused on is growing — show you understand that.

• ✕

  Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
