Last time we hired for this role, we received a large number of applications but only a few were selected for an intro call. Some of the key reasons why previous candidates didn't make it past the application screening stage include: CV writing and content: it was very clear that many of the CVs we saw were very generic and AI generated. There is no issue with leveraging AI to help with CV writing, there was little indication of what real impact the candidates had in their previous experience. You might have heard of the "Achieved X, as measured by Y, by doing Z" formula (credit Laszlo Bock 2014), this is a great way to give a clear picture of what you have actually worked on. A link to the company websites of your previous roles is also a huge help! Application care: every single application we receive is reviewed by a human (yes, hundreds of them) because we believe that candidates' efforts should be matched by an equal level of human care.
