If your experience is spot on in terms of years of experience and it’s the right level job, go for it. However, if you’re applying for jobs you’re immensely overqualified for, you’re probably wasting your time and that’s why you get auto replies from the ATS. For the record, ATS systems can’t reject your application, that has to be done by an actual human. If said human is hiring for a Copywriter with 3-5 YOE and you’re a CD with 10+, you’re likely going to get rejected. It’s not that we don’t think you have talent, but we have budgets and our need isn’t at your level, so we’re not going to waste your time or ours. We can’t produce roles or $$ out of thin air to hire someone more senior than we need.
Don’t waste your time on LinkedIn, or temp to hire recruiters. It’s all who you know. Find someone In the company you want to be in and get them to help you.
Young recruiters have very little experience in recruiting ECD with talent.
Just list the salary and we can cut the niceties.
In any negotiation, the person who says a number first always loses. This is why they don't post the salary. You could be annoyed by that but you can certainly understand why.
I’ve been doing something similar lately as a means to determine what the market is offering for a person with my title. It seems like there are quite drastic fluctuations in what companies think a social media manager is worth. Some low and some really high value.
So I’m more so testing who would be interested in my current skill set, years of experience and what they’d be willing to pay.
Sometimes I’m actually interested in the opportunity other times, (like you) I just want to see if I’d get a call back!
I have engaged in ATS audits, where I collected resumes from the employee files of current / past employees for the same position I am hiring for and ran them through to see if they were parsed out. To my surprise, our best employees never made it through the system and neither did mine! In researching ATS, I learned that approximately 70% of all resumes are never seen by human eyes. ATS is a double-edged sword -- saving man-hours / time by eliminating candidates who do not fit the selected criteria, while also excluding candidates who would be perfect if human eyes reviewed their submission. My take on this is that there is no perfect substitute for humans. This employment environment will create a niche for those who can teach others to beat ATS robo-gatekeepers and/or build ATS systems more intuitively.
Taking the opportunity to insert a shameless plug out of relevancy. I have a social media and creative manager role open that I’m currently interviewing for:
