The Anti-Sell: Standing out with honesty — filtering hard and attracting people who want the real thing.

[Role] at [Company] — read this before you apply

Let's save us both some time.

This job is hard. [Company] is [Stage & traction], which means the roadmap changes, the process is rough around the edges, and some weeks will test you. If you want a perfectly defined role with a 40-person team around you, this isn't it.

Here's what we're actually dealing with: [The problem you solve]. We're building [What you're building] to fix it. [Your mission]

What you'll get in return:
• Real ownership — [Impact they'll have].
• A seat at the table while the decisions that matter are still being made.
• [Salary range] salary and [Equity] equity — because we want you to share in what we're building, not just work on it.
• [Perks / how you work]

Who thrives here: [Who you're looking for]. People who are energised by ambiguity, not exhausted by it. People who'd rather build the thing than talk about building the thing.

What we won't pretend: we don't have all the answers. We have strong traction — [Stage & traction] — and a team we back completely ([Team context]). The rest, we figure out together.

If the honest version still sounds good, [How to apply].
