It can depend heavily on timing and industry you are in. Not to search very far, in my neck of the woods, job search can have 6 months lead time even while actively searching. I am passively searching now and I did not have one call back yet ( mostly blind applications without playing HR bingo ). My buddies seem to be experiencing the same thing ( including one relatively recent graduate ). I am not sure if entities are restricting hiring, more people are applying for one spot or its some combination. I am exclusively applying for remote only items, but buddies are not as discriminating. Still, the number is attention grabbing.
