How to actually get hired at Lokal
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
With only <50 employees, Lokal doesn't have dedicated recruiters. Founders review applications between running the company. The challenge isn't competition — it's visibility. Direct outreach wins.
Who to contact at Lokal
We're still mapping Lokal's hiring process. At this size (<50 people, Consumer, Content), a founder or department head typically decides, but we haven't confirmed it yet.
What Lokal screens for
relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously
Tailor your CV to the specific Lokal 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 Lokal applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. At <50 people it's obvious, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Nobody cares what you want. Start with is growing and how you'd help.
Most Consumer, Content applications get ghosted. A day-five follow-up can double your response rate.
