state of the market from a veteran recruiter
guest: tony payne, veteran recruiter and ai hiring systems builder
- tailor every single application since generic cvs no longer cut it with job volumes this high
- if you are not in the first 250 applicants your odds drop sharply so apply fast
- ask for feedback politely every time, even after just an application, not only after interviews
- take a contract role if it helps you grow, since permanent jobs are not more secure anyway
- put must-have skills like specific tools on your cv in context so ai screening tools match you correctly
