The problem: The traditional method for landing a job is too saturated with at least 250 applicants per posting per platform(1) and job posters post on at least 3-5 different platforms per posting (2). This is roughly at least 750 - 1250 applications per position. No wonder you keep getting rejection letters! It’s not because you’re unqualified, it’s because there’s an 80% chance your application is getting looked over because the market is too saturated (3). The reality is that 80% of jobs are filled through networking, not cold applications (4). With a regular job posting, one application can only get you that one job. With networking, one cold approach can get you introduced to multiple other people. In fact, referrals can increase chances by 9x. (5) There is an entire “hidden job market” that you are missing by only applying to positions you see online. (6) 80% of roles are filled without ever being posted on a job platform, recruiters prefer this because it is less time and money for them. (7) People don’t know who to email, what to say in the email (especially making it a high converting email), and tracking is a pain, also, how do you respond to followups?
The truth:
- Glassdoor found that, on average, each of their corporate job postings attracts approximately 250 resumes. Only 4-6 will get called to interview, and one will get the job from those who apply. (Corporations often post 1 job posting on multiple platforms)
- According to recent data, most corporations post job applications on at least 3-5 different platforms on average, with LinkedIn being the most commonly used, followed by platforms like Facebook, Glassdoor, Indeed, and sometimes Twitter, depending on the industry and company size
- According to data from Glassdoor and other sources, on average, a job posting receives around 250 applicants, with the vast majority (around 80%) being looked over due to the sheer number of applications, meaning only a small percentage typically progress to the interview stage.
- According to a 2018 survey of 3,000 people, 80% of people got hired because of networking. One of the critical networking facts is that, if you have a broad network, you’ll be able to find job opportunities before they’re posted on job boards, which means that your chances of getting hired are much better.
- A well-timed job referral can push your application to the top of the pile, giving you a significant advantage over other candidates. Many companies even have internal referral programs to encourage employees to recommend qualified candidates, often offering bonuses as an incentive. As a job seeker, it’s crucial to cultivate these relationships and use them to your advantage. Referrals increase hiring chances by 9x, according to LinkedIn.
- The hidden job market refers to jobs that employers do not advertise or publish publicly. Not publicizing these openings can help these employers save on the costs and time associated with posting and evaluating job applications or interviewing. To fill these jobs, employers may hire internally or use employee referral programs to find external candidates. Beyond saving costs, this method can help ensure high-quality candidates because employees already understand the company's expectations.
- You may not know this, but experts believe up to 4 in 5 jobs — or 80% of all roles — are filled without being publicly posted. That’s right: they never even see a job board. It’s called the hidden job market, where roles are filled through personal networks and referrals.
