I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment. I’m curious about a trend I am seeing: I like to think I’ve well documented my abilities and functions in my CV, as well as my portfolio. I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?

It’s pretty hard to say, but I think overall recruiters aren’t doing too well. Seems like we’re always getting cut first.

Aren’t doing too well as in it’s hard for corporate recruiters to find other roles, or to stay in corporate. From what I’ve seen a lot of people from talent acquisition are always being laid off along with others
