You receive a LinkedIn job alert: a new opportunity that looks exciting. You are in the office or waiting at the dentist, usually anywhere but home, so you make a to-do item or a mental note to check it out later. When you get back home and remember, you check the job again, but it is “No longer accepting applications”.
Bummer.
There are different explanations why this happens, but none of that really matters. What matters is speed. Speed is king.
According to some global stats, an average IT job post attracts 250 applications, and for some very desirable ones, this number can be 5–6 times higher. For good remote roles, the post receives 200–300 applications almost instantly. As a result, a typical job seeker needs to send 30–200 applications to land a job eventually.
The jobs mostly exist, but it’s very hard to find the right fit, from either side, due to the sheer number of applications for each post. The model is now clearly broken, you cannot change that now.
But you can react.
In today’s world, when companies are obsessed with efficiency, such a staggering number of applications must be pre-processed by some software before people can evaluate them. Applicant Tracking Systems manage the job descriptions and the applications they receive, their scoring and prioritizing. Some are clever, others are less so.
Your job application must pass those software sentinels, and it must get there fast, before the gates close.
