Six months. 400+ applications. Handful of interviews. Just got an offer.
I've met a lot of recruiters over the past months and they all say the same thing. It's WEIRD right now. Lots of jobs, lots of applicants, lots of mismatch. They sift through hundreds of resumes per day.
Oh I know, the whole ATS-schpeal is something lots of agencies express nowadays with the number of applicants. Still, it feels like a problem to ignore a resume that uses an alternative expression or a slight modification to a keyword. Good job on getting the offer though 👍
The fuck are you applying for? I'm in education and I got my current position by cold-calling the department head and saying that I was interested, but only for three hours.
I was pushed forward to hire in 1.
I mean, good for you, but you're clearly in the minority of fields to have the ability to do that. I'm also in a relatively small field so it's fairly easy to get interviews, but most aren't in the same position.
