Job seekers fret about the cold black hole that swallows their applications and limits any communication from returning to them. But on the other side is a frenzied space of recruiters and human-resource departments racing at hyperspeed. There are just not enough hours in the day to respond to everyone. It’s just not practical. Plain and simple.

At a minimum, a job posting or listing should be getting anywhere from 100 applicants to over a thousand depending on what recruitment resources the company is using. Responding to each resume or CV would be a full-time job in itself and ultimately detracts from the goal of filling the position.

Some companies may be using the kind of recruitment technology that can generate up to 600 responses in a 24 hour period. This means typically, a resume or CV will get 30 to 45 seconds of review if it’s lucky. It’s often said that it’s very rare that you do get a position from submitting your resume or CV - jobseekers need to do something above and beyond to get noticed.

That advice is especially true for people trying to transition into a new career field. When companies and organisations downsize, as many have during this recession, among the first to go are those who do the hiring - even Human-resource departments are also trying to do more with less in these difficult economic times.

Time constraints can generate these kinds of questions in a recruiter’s head: If 10 qualified interview candidates come from the first 150 applications, why go through the remaining 300? Technology has made it easier to apply for a job but also tougher to actually land one. In a couple strokes of a key, you can apply to 20 jobs!
