I did everything we’re told to do. Went to the grad fairs, applied to every grad role I could find, tweaked my CV a hundred times and still it felt like shouting into the void. I’ve seen my friends and classmates do the same. Fast forward a year and a half, now working in a recruitment agency, chatting to recruiters every day and listening to conversations they have with clients and candidates, I can safely say that a lot of what we’re told about job hunting isn’t wrong, it’s just incomplete. Here’s what actually changed for me once I saw the hiring process from the other side.

There are fewer people with the right skills, most of them are already being chased by recruiters, and your inbox ends up buried under a pile of wildly unqualified applications that you still have to sift through. I did a recruitment advert writing course with the great Mitch Sullivan just after I started in nineDots and something he said has stuck with me. “You’re looking for that extra 2% of applicants because they’re the ones who will get hired” (I’m paraphrasing, sorry Mitch, it’s been years) Your adverts don’t need to attract more applicants, they need to attract the right ones.

This is a big question and you can get rejected at any stage of the job hunting process but this is going to take this from the Why was I straight up rejected at application? point of view.
