r/recruitinghell #jobs #jobsearch

applied to my own company's job posting under a fake name. rejected in 6 minutes. I lead a team of nine. We've had a desperate need for a senior associate role since april and hr keeps telling me the pipeline was thin, nothing passing screening. So last month i made a new email, changed my name, tweaked the dates, and applied to my own req with essentially my own cv. The CV of the person who wrote the job description and brother i was auto-rejected in six minutes! Took a week to work out why. the filter was set to require React.js and my cv says React. that's it. that's the whole thing. a full stop. We have been rejecting every qualified applicant since april over punctuation, while i sat in weekly meetings being told the market was tough. if you've been getting instant rejections from places you're clearly qualified for, it is very possibly not you. Anyone else tested their own funnel? i'm now scared to look at the other two requirements
