How to actually get hired at Fortastra
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Fortastra runs an applicant tracking system (Greenhouse), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Fortastra isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at Fortastra
No verified contact route for Fortastra yet. Expect the hiring manager for the team that's hiring to make the call, but treat this as a model, not confirmed data.
What Fortastra screens for
relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Fortastra's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill Fortastra applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. Whoever reads applications at Fortastra can tell, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Fortastra 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.
