Why Don’t I Ever Hear Back From Companies?
Let's face the first question should be; Am I being considered? Did the hiring manager even get to look at my resume?
When a hiring manager brings a job description to HR to be a recruit assignment, they will typically want to see the top 10-15 candidates to perhaps phone screen for a face-to-face interview. The reality of today’s job market is that a company posting any job will get hundreds, maybe even thousands of resumes for a single posting. This response will include the unemployed, the unqualified and the unhappy candidates out there that are scouring the web for any job opportunities.
So, you may be the best candidate in the in-basket but there is a good chance you won’t even get looked at because of the pressure to submit the top 10 or 15 resumes that match the key word search for the job in question.
The reality is that companies go into a defensive posture and are screening out people rather that screening in. You might be well qualified for the job but might not even get looked at by anyone. You probably won’t hear from anyone. At best, you might get an auto response that your resume has been received and loaded into the system.
This is where a good recruiting firm can be your best friend. In our case, we don’t just send out your resume and hope like you do, that it gets looked at. We seek out the hiring manager and present your profile, you skills, your accomplishments. We market candidates to specifically targeted customers to get you in front of the people who can make a decision.
