When you hit “apply” on a job posting, what really happens next?

If you’re targeting a role at a fast-growing startup, the process isn’t the same as applying to Big Tech or traditional corporations. Startups move faster, their recruiters look for different signals, and small details can make or break your application.

That’s why CareerOS is hosting a free student webinar with Claudia Gualdron, Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, Startup Recruiter, and former Campus Recruitment Lead.

Why Startup Hiring Is Different

Big corporations rely on long processes, multiple interview rounds, and strict criteria. Startups, on the other hand, often:

• Hire much faster, sometimes within weeks.
• Prioritize potential and adaptability over years of experience.
• Rely on referrals and networks more heavily.
• Look for candidates who can wear multiple hats.

For students and early-career professionals, this means you need to adapt your approach—and that’s where insider recruiter advice is invaluable.

What You’ll Learn in This Webinar

In this interactive session, Claudia will share what most recruiters won’t tell you:

• ✅ What happens after you click “apply”: the real screening process
• ✅ Green flags & red flags: small details that decide your fate
• ✅ Startup vs. Big Tech hiring: how to position yourself differently
• ✅ Referrals & networks: how much they actually matter (and how to get them)
• ✅ AI in applications: how to use it wisely—without crossing the line
• ✅ One insider tip every student should know before applying
