If you've applied to dozens of jobs without being contacted to interview, this is why (and how to fix it)

If you've applied to dozens of jobs without being contacted to interview, this is why (and how to fix it)

I’ve spent nearly 20 years in the recruitment tech space, working with Talent Acquisition teams at Fortune 500 companies to federal agencies, and startups. If there’s one constant I’ve seen, it’s the massive disconnect between employers and job seekers during the hiring process.

Less than 1% of job applicants are contacted for interviews because they use the same generic résumé for every application and rush to apply to as many jobs as possible thinking that’s the key to getting hired. 

It’s not their fault - most solutions created to help the job seeker like ‘Easy Apply’ features encourage volume, and it feels hopeless spending more time on the application when employers rarely acknowledge them. 

On the flip side, 83% of employers hire candidates who tailor their résumé and cover letters to show they care about the opportunity, connect their skills and experience to the role, and make it easy for hiring teams to see why they’re a great fit. 

The problems: Tailoring takes hours and most candidates don’t know how to do it effectively. They also have to apply within the first 3 days of a job being posted before they are buried under hundreds of applicants, and even finding the right opportunities in time seems futile.

So how are you supposed to be the first to apply but also have the highest-quality application? 

We built Jobflow to solve this.
