I think the question is how are you meeting the hiring manager?
If you submit a resume to a recruiter (or worse, online job posting) and get to the hiring manager you've absolutely gone through a bunch of formal screening steps. However if, as I believe GP is describing, you're able to connect with them through a side channel (such as a referral) you usually haven't gone through the formal screening so much as you've skipped it entirely. That obviously will dramatically increase your odds of success but it's not the same as getting through the resume scan and HR filter
- chipdart 2y ago> I think the question is how are you meeting the hiring manager? In each and every single time I met a hiring manager, that took place after the early interview rounds where the bulk of applicants were filtered out. In some cases, the hiring manager was the very last interview. To me, claiming that meeting the hiring manager is somehow the key step to get hired is like stating that the key step to get hired is to not be rejected.
- bddgyrdfv 2y agoThe entire point was that you meet the hiring manager via personal referral and not by running the gauntlet. Otherwise, yes, it’s tautological.
