Hi,
I just want to understand how the recruitment works here in Canada. I applied for quite few openings but nothing is clicked so far, even Though my profile matches quite all criteria. How much a referral can work here, I tried to reach people in LinkedIn but most of the times I won’t get an answer for my ping. I literally feel annoyed and distressed. Can you please pour your ideas how we can actually search for a recruiter in LinkedIn and how to approach and how to atleast get single intervie

Mark yourself as open to work. Make sure keywords aren't listed in your profile. They will find you.

Yeah. Recruiters will search for skills and titles. The more you show up in searches the better. I meant to say "are showing" oops

Have someone look at your resume to make sure it gets past the resume screening software.

I have been looking for a new job and it is brutal 85% of the companies don't even reply and the ones that do sometimes takes 2 weeks or more, I believe we have an issue and they way a lot of companies do their recruitment, they are all fixed on the let's wait and not show that we are desperate it funny and sad.

At one point I had 3 different interviews and those 3 companies took the exact same time to move me to next interview and the next, for example one called on Monday the other on Tuesday and Wednesday, it was stupid all though I made it to the end on all of them I didn't get pick and still they all had the same time in answering

Something needs to change, for example Lululemon has sent me 2 emails saying we will answer you I'm a few days or weeks .. it has been 3 weeks now any ways too much rant back to LinkedIn

1. Most companies in Canada these days are hiring to recruit candidates from outside (cheaper ones or relatives of someone in the company), which requires LMIA and hence the incongrous JDs.

2. The remaining jobs are mostly through recruiters. That means you are better off incorporated and applying for contractual roles instead of full time ones.

3. Some companies are also window shopping, and that means trying to find the cheapest but most suitable candidate. This process takes atleast a month, so they will try to delay the process by making you go through multiple rounds and keeping weeks between subsequent rounds.

4. You can meanwhile undertake a resume optimization through a fiverr or upwork gig to refine your resume. It will be quick, cheap and effective.

As always, hang in there buddy!!

My EOY review is coming up. Here I plan to lobby for a promotion/raise (been at company for 1.5 yrs). Some backstory: During my hiring process I was told by my now boss and VP they were also going to hire a senior engineer to help me along. They never hired such senior engineer because I have over performed and do more than they thought I could (have been told this in 2 performance reviews). Thus, is it fair to ask for a raise and promotion to Senior engineer?
