Yet, what we've found is that most candidates rely on just one strategy alone...
Apply and Hope 🙏
Unfortunately that just doesn't work anymore. Not only will you be wasting your time (20-60 minute per application), but once you submit the application you are stuck feeling helpless and just hoping that you get an interview...
Unfortunately, the truth is that most of the time as a candidate you won't ever hear anything, and even if you do, it's likely not even from an actual human. Just an automated reply from the company's Application Tracking System (ATS).
With each job posting getting hundreds of qualified candidates (within days in some markets), it's easy to understand why HR is overwhelmed and relying on these automated ATS systems to screen out candidates.
