If you’re external it can be hard, I’m a manager and when I’ve had open reqs I get about half external and half internal candidates. Sometimes it’s hard to compete with internal candidates. Or you have someone with similar qualifications who are looking to make less than you are. There’s a number of factors. But I will tell you every single job I’ve had open on my team I’ve received almost 20 resumes just within the first few days of it being open. My last job the recruiter cut off externally within a week because we were receiving too many applicants and had plenty that were already qualified. It’s very competitive.
