It’s tempting to assume you’ve been rejected by a robot. And in some ways you have, but there’s more at play here.
I found a job online that made me very excited. Just about everything about it made me think I’d enjoy it and would be a great fit. I’ve been searching for a new job for a while and always put in significant effort with my applications, but with this one I took extra care. I spent multiple hours over several days making sure everything about my submission was perfect.
I was crushed. But now my dejection has turned to … I guess you would call it angry curiosity. How can an organisation reject someone without even reading their application? I’m also going to assume that the recruiter didn’t manage to peruse your application within a few minutes and reject you based on some obvious error or professional shortcoming.
These scores, they told me, were hopelessly inaccurate, and it would be poor practice to use them, but many recruiters did.Now, I can’t know for sure that this is precisely what happened in your case. But I think something like that probably has. Your application has gone straight to an automated system. That system, whether by default, or because of some kind of human intervention, has one or more parameters that turn its functions into the dullest of blunt instruments.
