Recruiters and hiring managers, how bad is the job market right now?

We’ve been hearing it from the employees. Thought I’d get some thoughts from you guys who are the one getting the applications.

Most recent role I hired (still hiring for) in analytics. 1200 resumes. 75% were nowhere near requirements (I ask for 7 yoe they have 0-2). Of the ones that meet the basic requirements, another 2-300 are clearly lying on their resume (or just listing every program they’ve ever touched), so those get thrown out. Of the remaining 150, about 120 have major spelling or grammar issues in addition to the wrong experience (bad resume but otherwise the quality of credentials I’m looking for). Of the 30 remaining, 20 of them are good and employable but the experience is in the wrong place. The last 10 all failed the technical interview.

The only people that have made it past the technical interviews have come from recruiters and just weren’t the right fit.

So basically: life is hard if your resume sucks.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Been through all interviews, recruiter said it's looking good but they would let me know early this week and asked if that works from a timing perspective since they know I was interviewing with someone else also. I said yeah that's fine. Would it be weird to follow up today or should I wait to hear from them? Want this one over the other but don't want to seem desperate..

I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
