How to actually get hired at Recursion
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Recursion runs an applicant tracking system (Greenhouse), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Recursion isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at Recursion
No verified contact route for Recursion yet. Expect the hiring manager for the team that's hiring to make the call, but treat this as a model, not confirmed data.

A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Recursion's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill Recursion applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. Whoever reads applications at Recursion can tell, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Recursion 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.
