As someone casually looking for a better fit as an infrastructure person, it can be disparaging for some of these portals to keep stats on interesting jobs. I'll open up an email advertisement, to see that sometimes >10,000 people have applied for this single role. I'll chuckle and close that tab - I am not a lottery player and I will not drop my resume into an applicant pool twice as large as my town.
I would say my personal cutoff is about 25, whether these statistics are trustworthy or not.
- UncleOxidant 3y agoSame. I saw a job on LinkedIn that had 1000+ applies yet it was asking for quite a few skills. I wonder if these numbers are being gamed somehow? Are they accurate? Are there bots involved?
- karmakurtisaani 3y agoI remember reading that the numbers include the applicants from previous times the same job opening was posted. That's why you get hundreds of applicants 3 hours after the job was listed.
- analognoise 3y agoEasyApply filter on, hit apply on every job for the first 10 pages that even remotely mentions something you do, want to do, or thought about once. I would not be surprised if jobs were getting 1000+ applicants.
