I'd recommend reviewing the copy on your site. The first chunk of copy on your homepage is full of errors and it instantly devalues any product you might be offering. Might also want to consider updating your title tags too.

Hard agree. The companies that ghost you are purposefully avoiding interacting with you because often rejection emails trigger a back and forth where an applicant asks for feedback (a completely reasonable request) but when you've just

Longer than you'd think. I'd measure it in weeks rather than days. Occasionally you'll see a job on a careers page that's been up there for months. Often in those scenarios, the company has multiple vacancies for one job

I'd love to know what percentage of linkedin posts are entirely AI generated these days. LinkedIn even prompt you to allow AI to rewrite your post using AI.

This article is infuriating. Morgan McKinley calling job seekers 'lazy' makes me sick. The entire article misses the most obvious point. If AI can easily pass your selection processes, then the problem is your selection process.
