legit question: do you have good luck cold-applying for high end jobs in this market? I just posted a senior full-stack developer job at 130-150 CAD and we've gotten 100's of applicants. So much wheat is going to get discarded with the chaff
- Carrok 2y agoMy current position was a cold application that pays over $200k USD. Sounds like the problem is on your end not being willing to sort through the chaff to find the wheat.
- Rapzid 2y ago130 CAD doesn't buy much wheat.
- shagie 2y agoFor a single position and 500 resumes presented, how much time are you willing to allocate per applicant on the first and second pass through the stack?
- all2 2y agoDepends on the importance of the position. I'd be willing to spend a minute or two on each resume. I'd probably take a week to get through them. If I'm hiring directly for my team, I might even take more time on each resume.
- shagie 2y agoWould you be throwing out a lot of the potential good hires with only a minute looking at a resume? And likewise, are you sure you’re not getting false positives of poorly qualified candidates with good resumes in only a minute of looking at the resume? This is what the GP is lamenting. At 500 minutes of time, this is a solid day of non stop resume reading.

- belmarca 2y agoCan I ask how you filter candidates? I have applied to numerous companies and get what look like mostly automatic rejections despite many years of experience, shipping products, research, etc. I also have experienced friends who say hiring is very slow and cold right now, it's not just me. Do you use any sort of automation?
