USAA I was wondering if I could contact someone from talent acquisition. I applied for a position with the Security Operations Center and am quite confident I meet/exceed qualifications, but I received what appears to be an automated denial in a matter of hours on a Saturday. My experience is exclusively in the military which makes my CV a bit less conventional for the industry and difficult to edit for security reasons. My concern is that ATS filtering may be a factor. Thank you.

I guess it would depend on the company how easy or hard it would be to actually get in contact with somebody that could help in TA. If you have any contacts or networking that could assist with the specifics that would be helpful. However, given the situation it might help to reach out. If they already denied, not much more to lose you know?

Sorry, I realize my first sentence was not as clear as it could have been. I'm not asking if I should reach out to someone, I'm asking if anyone here has a point of contact I can reach out to.

Sounds like another dull, bureaucratic defense contractor that has nothing to offer these days and is getting hammered by def tech startups. They still use Brassring, Taleo and ATS that is probably not even being maintained by anyone.

What?

rules and or standards serve

I’m based in Japan and this happens here all the time in different ways. TA found me in LinkedIn with my detailed profile and begged me for casual interview.

They sound beg me to apply the position in official process and I did.

Next day the automated denial template to be sent to me as if the number of receiving applications is their KPI. They have read through all my profile and decided to contact me but why i am rejected in the stage of resume screening. If I’m not the one they are looking for, why you beg me to move on to the official candidacy's process?

Even a candidate like me blocks the time frame for casual interview and sometimes comes home from office by taking half day off. Please do not use any candidate for your KPI. We are still not the boss and subordinate relationship yet so please respect our time.

When building a new brand, who is the actual client? Who has the final say? Who should you really listen to if no one is taking the lead? The president of the company, the original owner, the financial money partner, the third party manager? Everyone seems to have a voice, but the main contact is the underling gathering and offering their own opinion, which strangely seems to be the most on point. How do you handle this type of situation?

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
