Good idea to send my CV via the email listed on the website?
For context, this is London/Europe.
There is this really impressive fund that's growing quickly in my space, and I know for a fact they are looking to hire around my level, and are possibly already quite advanced in their process.
I am not really looking for a move but today I saw on their website that they have a prompt saying something like "we're looking for talent to help us grow etc etc" and if you click the contact us button it throws up the HR email.
Is it worth a punt? Just conscious this will go to the HR department and not the hiring manager/investor side.
Cheers
What do you have to lose by applying?
Not much I guess apart from the fact that I might burn my chances with them. Not sure if that's a thing but if they hire again say 18 months from now - when I'm probably more likely to be looking for a new gig - would want to have all the chances I can have, if that makes sense.
This is what cold calling is. So yes.
Tad different no? Maybe I'm wrong
Matter of semantics really, not actually picking up the phone in this case but would classify it as cold calling myself.
Hear hear
The only thing giving me pause is that you suggested that you "know for a fact they are looking to hire around my level".
How do you know this? If you have an introduction from a friend or recruiter (if that's where you got the information), then that would be better than a cold call / email. Otherwise, I'd just agree with other posters to go for it - very limited downside.
Headhunters contacted me with the pitch for the role a few weeks back. However, for family reasons, I did not think I had the presence of mind of starting a process then. I had to take leave of absence and the like from work too.
