>is this some US thing?
Western EU thing as well. There's an oversupply of candidates (everyone wants move/live here) and a low supply of jobs (in some countries), so companies can afford to be very picky.
Eastern EU has the opposite phenomenon, oversupply of jobs due to outsourcing/nearshoring coming in, and lack of skilled candidates since may skilled ones moved west.

- ChuckNorris89 5y agoYes. My no-name company paying average or below average wages, in my no-name western EU town in Austria, has received over 30 applications for one position within a week, most from outside the EU (I think the Russo-Ukrainian conflict added a lot of gas on the fire). So most companies here have raised the hiring bar accordingly due to this oversupply of applicants, therefore getting a job now is pretty rough if you're not at the top of your game in terms of experience and skillset.
