the fact that employers *delete job listings* at all is infuriating, and linkedin's UI does not help at all. if you apply to a job on here, you want to always be able to refer back to the application information, job specifics, the company, etc. but if an employer deletes the listing, it's like you never applied there at all! there's no evidence anywhere other than an email saying you applied. but you can't go back and look at the listing. it's ANNOYING. there should be a way to archive listings so people can no longer apply, but it leaves the information visible to past applicants who want or need that information. we're all applying to so many positions that keeping track can get overwhelming. and linkedin's interface does not help at all. how you view your past applications is not intuitive, and still, if the listing is removed, you just. can't access it anymore. the page doesn't exist.

Revenue-generating websites is actually a thing, especially in #staffingandrecruiting. The problem is... Most just put band-aids on their site over time because of competing priorities and never address foundational issues. While this is happening, Candidates & Clients ($), are coming through the door (if they can even find it!) and leaving before taking any action. In a tough market like today, you can't afford to miss out on conversions while your competitors scoop them up! SourceFlow helps fix the leaks and increase conversion without having to spend more boatloads on job boards!

A jobseeker I spoke to yesterday has applied for 150 jobs on LinkedIn in the past year. The results: - 130 applications were never viewed. - 15 of the remaining 20 applications received automatic rejections within minutes. Of the other five, he managed to secure three interviews: 1. An informal chat that went nowhere. 2. A promising interview that advanced to the next round, before he was rejected. 3. A mysterious invite from a brand-new software company to visit their HQ and discuss a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ opportunity. The invite arrived on a postcard which was blank except for two things: 1: A postcode, which, when you type it into Google Maps and zoom in using satellite view, the display suddenly goes all blurry, almost like it’s some secret classified area. And 2: The words “Be there at 9.30pm on Sunday 26th May 2024”. The very specific date and time led the jobseeker to feel like he’d been specially selected. But what for? Sunday came, and he took an Uber to the location. The postcode itself contained no actual addresses, but a tall, barb-wired perimeter fence around what looked like some kind of high-security compound. Was it government? Or maybe military? Three or four hundred metres down the road, the driver found the entrance. A large steel gate. The jobseeker got out and the car drove off. There was an intercom. He pushed the single black button. “I’m here for the… interview.” Nothing. He tried again. “Hello… I’m here for the interview.” Still nothing. “Is there anybody there…” Silence. He tried six or seven more times before giving up. All that way to be fucking ghosted. Fella can’t catch a break. #Jobsearching #Jobseekers #TalentAcquisition - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Wanna make your copy more compelling?

Dirty Little Secrets is a Blog written by SearchGroup500. You will have to visit our website for past installments. Today we want to talk to you about Agency Recruiters who find you on LinkedIn and send you ridiculous messages. Examples: I have a job that is perfect for you. Here is a link to my calendar. Please set up at time when we can talk. There is so much wrong with this message. How does a Recruiter you have never spoken to before, know what your perfect job is? Why would you ever get on a schedule with a stranger to discuss something you know nothing about? What to do when you get a message/InMail from a Recruiter on LinkedIn. Ask questions, before doing anything else! Reply with: Please send me a job description and the salary range for the role. I would also like the name of the firm so I can conduct my own due diligence. Tell the Recruiter that you will keep the name of his or her client confidential. Remember they are a paranoid bunch, and you can't go around them! If you don't get the information in a timely fashion delete the message and move on! Remember, Agency Recruiters only get paid if they find the right talent for whatever job they are working on and for whatever client they are assisting. If you do get your requested information, make an appointment and see if it is in fact something that interests you. Keep in mind the Recruiter has to send multiple resumes to his or her client, so now it's time for you to drill down and ask the smart questions. If you want a list of them, email us at JR@SearchGroup500.com. Here are a few to get you started: How long have you been working with the firm? Why is the position available? How would you describe the corporate culture? Take charge of your job search. Be proactive. "Let's Go!" #jobsearch #networking #recruiters

Did you know LinkedIn supports search operators? You can search for jobs that match your skills and location this way. Give it a try! job_title AND hiring AND location_preference replace job_title and location_preference with your keywords, Sort by latest, and you have a lead list of jobs!

In such a competitive market, there is one thing you MUST do in your job search: (If you aren’t doing this, you could be missing out on some amazing opportunities) 👉 Check for new openings daily. Being in the early pool of applicants is the BEST thing you can do for your online job search. (If, of course, you are qualified for the roles you’re applying for) Here is HOW to implement this into your job search routine: 1. Start a search on LinkedIn 2. Put in ALL of your search criteria (title, location, salary, remote) 3. Filter openings by “Posted in the last 24 hours” 4. Create a  BOOKMARK of this search. 5. Set a reminder on your phone to click on that bookmark daily. You don’t necessarily need to apply right then and there, but the sooner you apply, the better. With my clients, I’m seeing some job postings only being live for 24-72 hours, as a way to manage intake. So you gotta get in quick! TL;DR - Check postings frequently and apply quickly.
