If I were a hiring manager, I would straight-out reject anybody who was using this, resume and candidate unseen (assuming I found out). If a person applies to 100 jobs at once, it's unlikely they're going to want my position and I'm better off spending my time talking to other people.
- jwise0 10y agoI think I'd take the opposite tack, by the way. I get about a zillion job recruiter e-mails, and the vast majority are mail merge. It's irritating, but not disqualifying, for the recruiter. If we put up with it that direction, why not put up with bulk solicitation the other way?
- noxToken 10y ago>"It's unlikely they're going to want my position" Well you just discounted a potentially great employee. They implemented a solution to help apply for jobs. The application process can be absolutely draining - especially when you're 25 applications deep with zero response. What's the harm in reaching out to the candidate? If they aren't interested, they'll decline the interview.
- deeteecee 10y agoon the contrary, im looking for the jobs but im depleted devoting so much time to a single job application only to realize it might not be looked at. aside from that, a lot of descriptions don't tell me the full story and both parties have to go through the interview process first before they know they've gotten what they want.
