Interested in hiring manager and recruiter thoughts: what makes you reject someone (who technically meets all the job qualifications 10 outta 10) before you even talk to them (looking for responses beyond too many applications).
I am so frustrated with this job search, especially with behavior on LinkedIn. I know, I know. For grins and giggles I decided to ask GPT for thoughts connecting with recruiters and hiring managers. **This post isn't really about issues with AI,** its my frustration and lack of any response on that platform. Here's what GPT told me. "The reason people dont respond generally on LinkedIn is because a response requires them to work." Hmm...interesting.
Ok whatever. I dont send canned messages or ask anything thats time consuming. I send a heads up about a job I applied for and an introduction with 2 or 3 top skills that match. I keep it relevant but still short. I dont necessarily expect a reply from those. But the second type I send is a basic "Hey...interested in this role...and ask in some fashion if they are open to sharing a name of the recruiter managing the requisition. The really sad part is, Im not new. It wasnt like this three years ago.
Is it just me, or am I seriously missing something suddenly (understanding this current job market is just outta control)??? What do you guys do to get a successful response on LinkedIn?
