How to actually get hired at Descript
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Descript runs an applicant tracking system (Greenhouse), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Descript isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at Descript
No verified contact route for Descript 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 Descript applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. Whoever reads applications at Descript can tell, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Descript 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.
