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