| DHH from Basecamp recently wrote It's not a lottery[0]. It's about hiring. In the post he wrote the following: Maybe that's part of the disillusionment with the modern job market. That applications are being processed by AI, and humans don't even see your effort, unless the computer finds the matching keywords in the CV. So why put in the effort! But is that actually true? Are lots of companies actually hiring this way? For positions like this? I'm skeptical. Yes, your application is being scanned by AI. It's possible it won't reach a human. There are so many candidates applying to jobs companies have no choice but to use an ATS. Also, companies sometimes put job posts online without any intention of actually hiring for it. Never take ghosting personally. Keep applying to other jobs, even if looks like a particular step of the process with a specific company is going well. You don't have a job until those documents are signed. It's a numbers game. Put effort into every application and don't send the same CV over and over again. Use software like CVCompiler[1] to make sure your resume has the appropriate info for the job. Use LinkedIn direct messaging. Email the hiring manager directly. Keep going and good luck to everyone in the job market right now. [0]: https://world.hey.com/dhh/it-s-not-a-lottery-8d378442 [1]: https://cvcompiler.com/ |
