How common is it for companies to use AI screening tools to skim through applicants and auto-reject them? Feel like I get some rejection emails way too quickly after applying

For that long? I never would’ve guessed that. What makes you think/know that?

This has been par for the course for a long time. I don't love it, but I also realize it's not going anywhere and plan accordingly (i.e. ATS-optimizing every application I submit). It's just the way things are.

Think we’ve just got to be proactive with it and adapt resumes accordingly. It’s annoying but I guess it’s got to be done

Have you ever gone back through that resume and job post when you’ve gotten a quick rejection? I applied a couple of weeks ago and had a generic rejection in about 2 hours. Thinking I should have gone back through and seen if there was some glaring issue.

No I haven’t bothered with that because as soon as I see the rejection email I don’t even think about the job again. I may have to start doing it though

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
