The only thing I've found to help with this sales funnel is... to know a lot of people, and to invest time in networking. It sucks because in a meritocratic system it shouldn't work this way, but it does.
I'm neck deep in my job search, and I'm getting to the HR interview at rates around 30-40%, but that's because I'm getting to the HR interview at rates near 90% where I was able to get someone to refer me or send my resume straight to the hiring manager. For non-referrals, I'm seeing closer to 100->10-15.
I think that's just insane.
- warrenm 9y agoHR is filtering - in my experience - 100s or 1000s of people for a single role (or small handful of roles). That you are seeing 30-40% HR interview rates shows you've got something on your resume (or your referrals) that's pushing your resume higher on the stack.
- munchbunny 9y agoOh for sure, I was just pointing out just how drastic the HR filter can be. I might have thought referrals would make a 2x difference in rates of getting an interview right? But no... it's much more stark than I personally expected.
