Recruiter here on Switzerland's market. All I can say is: Don't apply for jobs online. We get spammend like there is no tomorrow.
Instead, find the hiring manager on Linkedin and their email on hunter.io and directly reach out.
- wildknocker 3y agoThere are a couple of reasons I think online job applications are so spammy: 1. Sometimes the companies don't adhere to the requirements they posted. For example the job post might list skills A, B, and C with a minimum of 3+ years, but some of my friends recommended that I apply anyway. I don't track such cases but I think I got a couple of responses when I did that. 2. Some companies leave job posts up after they've been filled, or ghost candidates during the interview process, so candidates tend to spam to ensure that even if a small fraction replied, they'd get at least one offer. I'd assume that contacting hiring managers directly might lead to better chances, but aren't 200 other people doing the same?
- iwangulenko 3y agoIt seems everyone spams in recruitment; one of the reasons why it's such as shitshow.
