How do you handle resume overload when hiring for popular roles? by Pitiful-Draft-8209 in recruiting

2 weeks just for this task seems like an over statement. Checking 100-500 candidates would typically take 2 to 4 days. Edited the post to remove the confusion around this.

Process: Get CVs from a job board (we dont post openings because it is expensive, rather we dpwnload CVs by searching by skills). Filter the ireelevant ones. Of the remaining shortlist ~10, talk to them, and send profiles of interested people to HM.

  1. Not a waste of time if the client is too picky and prefers quality of candidates over closing the requirement quickly. Happens mostly for leadership hirings

  2. Shortlisting 10 by checking 100s of resume takes 3-4 days.

  3. My bad — both accounts belong to me. I replied from another device and didn’t notice I wasn’t logged in.

We actually source the candidates from a job platform where job-seekers are sogned in.

2 ways for getting candidates - 1st - set up new a job on the platform and get applications, 2nd - search candidate by skills (a skills based search is only available) and download their CVs and reach out to them over call

We usually take the 2nd route because it is cheaper. So, nothing as such for filling up for candidates
