Yup, I’m an IT engineer with over a decade of experience who was laid off in February and I haven’t had a single interview from the hundreds of applications I’ve filled out despite multiple letters of recommendation from the owners of several former jobs.
I’m about to hopefully get a job in property management at my local college until things improve (and I can get my cyber security masters for free).
Yeah. I’ve been looking in analytics and it’s awful. Any remote job on linked in gets over 200 applications (“people who clicked ‘Apply’”) in the first day. If you see a posting more than a day out it’s very likely to have more than 1000 applications (I’ve seen as much as 4500).
I emailed a recruiter about a posting recently when the job page on the company site was throwing an error. I told her about the error and asked if the job was real/still available. She said she’d gotten over 500 applications within a few hours of listing it and shut down the posting because she was overwhelmed. I think that’s the norm now.
