Tabs

Why applying the normal way doesn't work

Tabs runs an applicant tracking system (Ashby), but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Tabs isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.

Who to contact at Tabs

No verified contact route for Tabs 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 Tabs applications

• ✕

  Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. Whoever reads applications at Tabs can tell, and it's the fastest rejection there is.

• ✕

  Don't open with what you want. Open with what Tabs 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.
