Online Job Applications: What Happens After You Submit Your Resume | Indeed

[@starscreen85]

Ok....so just vomit keywords that are in the job description so an actual human will look at it. Got it! Thanks indeed.

[@cramsa]

The company I work for will post a “wanted advertisement,” knowing full well they don’t intend to fill the position… it usually goes to split the load up and divy it up among the employees… if the position was filled, it’s 90% chance a good friend or relative of someone who works there.

Stop promoting jobs that give minimum wage and expect you to have 2 or more years of experience at entry level. It does not add up at all. We’re looking for these entry level jobs to get that experience, we can’t even get that in the slightest.

[@SuomenV]

That's why you lie on your resume for an entry level job. I finished college and couldn't find anything because they all wanted experience or unpaid internship. I created some "work projects" and added in a company that was no longer in business recently. Put my friend as a reference and said I worked there for 3 years. Worked that job for just over 5 years and took the other one off my resume, as a high end job that really wanted to dig could probably find out that I didn't actually work there. Gotta do what you gotta do, the world isn't playing fair against you, so take the bull by the horns.

Not sure if you're seeing this 3 years later, but I've started a special project to analyze and understand the AI system so it can potentially be hacked by applicants. It's called Project Linnaeus. I've learned a LOT about AI systems since this began, but I'm having trouble with my research. If you're interested, I could explain more and you might be able to help. The end result is cracking the code and figuring out how applicants can get jobs and not be black-holed.

I have been submitting my resume to Indeed for over 8 months. Turns out the way my resume was originally written, had the AI algorithm chucking out my resume. I simplified the resume and got some interviews, but was rejected, once they found out I was over 58. Ageism is my biggest foe right now. I still need a job, but Indeed is not doing the trick.

Here is my advice after I have been trying to apply to many jobs on your website. The system is so messy & complicated, make it simple so people can apply without going through hell & waste of time. Thank you in advance

[@nomad7317]

Every employer advertises their openings online. Hiring almost always happens through Referrals only. For the mere 10-12 vacancies, candidates are filled by employees refering their known persons for the role. I know it feels nepotistic and non-merit-based, but networking and referrals are the way to go. Good luck with networking for whoever is reading this.

[@myfavoriteplanet3247]

My experience. Most of the jobs listed on Indeed are listed for years. Either they just collect the applications or the turn over is that bad. Those jobs will say 100 + applications and no hires. A number of the jobs listed won't even be in the area listed, fake jobs. I've never known anyone where I live to get a job from one of these online lists. Another problem is many of those companies pretending to offer a job are just collecting peoples personal data.

[@slamdangles]

OMFG I'm so glad you said this because I'm going through this right now. Thousands of applications for jobs, no one gets hired, or like 5 people apply for a job and the job never looks at the resumes. There are jobs that are absolutely collecting data, and I've been on 2 job interviews where it was listed in one town to find out it's 30 minutes in the other direction. Indeed used to be great but I don't know what the fuck happened. I've been unemployed for 6 months now.

How many HR Practitioners have lost their job to this new technology with their position being declared redundant. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!!!!!! I've submitted job applications and I still can't beat this system, because I don't want to. Now I have to personalize my CV to match the job description. They should get rid of this ATS system.

[@Fouroclocklover38]

@@slamdangles nope, not wrong. A lot of Companies do not have it on their Site. Nice try though.

[@adt4025]

What did you personalize it with?

[@jrussellfl]

A few things - there's no way hiring managers are physically looking at as many resumes as you depict in this video. The ATS likely gives them 10? 15? not the 50 or 60 you depict. As far as the black hole? It is real. The ATS scans looking for keywords. We all know that. But not to include but to exclude (to knock the thousand applications down to 10 or 15). If your resume is excluded, the majority of companies do not reply. Hence the term black hole. So I'm just a little skeptical on your 86% hearing back statistic. Finally, while the two weeks later follow up to the hiring manager or HR department is a great suggestion, there typically is no way to actually do that. The online application, the majority of the time, does not supply any contact info for HR and definitely not the actual hiring manger. This is by design. Good video though ;)

Indeed is the worse online job search. Because they are too many competitors on your job description. I applied to that company and we are 149 applicants. Imagine that your resume is like a lottery tickets, that you are praying to win the jackpot. I wished that indeed should limit the job applicants. So you could have higher chances on getting hire from the spot. I advice to this video viewers don't waste your time applying online. Their are government agency that can help you.

I am very over-qualified for jobs that I am going after. I am a business owner myself and for some reason I can't even get a job from this site. What they're not telling you is that whichever resume pops up in their system then that's what the company goes by. Truth is your application is somewhere at the very bottom of this list and those employers aren't even seeing your application at all. Once the employer hires someone else, Indeed will send you an email that will tell you that you didn't get hired. Truth is, you didn't even get considered because no one saw your application.

To be honest I've applied to a job on indeed over a 100 times, yet no callback.

Indeed uk could learn a finger or two from Naukri an app developed by a developing nation. Despite job opportunities being scare in India Naukri is reaching out to potential candidates without them having to apply for the job. On the other hand, there are many more job opportunities in the UK yet people are having to apply. What a SHAME for a developed nation??? This country is surely going downhill.
