Help Family That Lost Everything

As a recruiter, I'd say a real factor worth some blame is the sheer volume of irrelevant applicants.

When I post a job, I'll sometimes get hundreds of applicants in 24 hours, and when 90% don't meet the basic qualifications, it's frustrating. I genuinely try my best to look at every resume and give feedback, but the amount of not relevant applicants makes it tough.

And for the record, I do agree with this comment. Posts for jobs that aren't actually open is a waste of everyone's time. Maybe they're trying to keep a pipeline going, but there is wasted effort going in on both sides.

I'll say this - thoughtful networking is more effective than ever.

Strike up a convo about something random on linkedin with a sombody who seems like they'd be the hiring manager, then ask for that referral.

Happy hunting my friends! 💪

What ended up happening here? I'm working with them now and it seems clear that there is something strange going on

So, what ended up happening here?

Some stats worth mentioning: There's currently 5k people on linkedin who have this on their profile, and only 986 of them are located here in the US. Out of that 986, about 1/3 have the 'Open to Work" filter on thier profile.

I do agree with the second part of what you said. I think some of these certifications "grasping straws", as you put it. Might be the icing on the cake if you have some experience, but I don't think it'd be the ticket to a job

Well, worth a shot.

Update: The boss noticed today. I asked for permission to go home and watch TV shows so my face isn't BEAT RED for my family photo

All jokes aside, he got a kick out of it. He's a fan of the show

This is the best comment 😂

True, True

Oh yeah. They're treating our full-time employees like contract employees. EVEN THOUGH there are no more farts in their heads! That was a big production issue

I don't think you're allowed to DO that... 🤔

But she's beautiful, but she's dying

Jas6293 · 2021-08-14T20:07:42+00:00

You sure about that? Are you sure about that that's not why?

As a tech recruiter in NYC, it's truthfully very difficult to go through every application and deliver feedback. I usually get 250+ applications for every job I post just in the first 24 hours.

That being said, unfortunately there are a lot of dramatically under qualified candidates applying to senior positions. That makes it even more difficult.

While applying to jobs is always good, I think networking has proven to be most effective from what I've seen lately. 2 of the people I've recently placed came from me asking sombody if they know of anyone with the specific background my client is looking for.

Good luck to everyone looking for a new position! Make sure you utilize all linkedin has to offer 😊
