OK, what's going on with hiring/HR? How come even people who I recommend for open jobs can't get a screening interview, and the people whose resumes we do get aren't good fits? Are ATS systems just screwing every over on both sides? What gives?

I’m not a recruiter but am in an adjacent function, and the number of cold messages I get from ACD & CD level creatives is crazy. Overall I get upwards of 100 messages a week from people following up on their applications. My profile clearly states I’m not a recruiter, so I can only imagine what our recruiters are experiencing. Applications are overflowing, they’re getting cold messaged by hundreds of job seekers, and referrals from all directions. I know it’s frustrating and an extremely difficult market, but there are only so many hours in a day and recruiters’ KPIs are based on filling jobs. They unfortunately can’t talk to everybody.
