How many applications do you currently receive for an office vacancy?

Hello everyone,

I'm job hunting, writing applications, and some companies aren't even getting back to me. One didn't even get back to me after the interview. I think my application is very good, both visually and in terms of content, and I have friends who are giving me feedback.

Is it the nose factor that decides whether you get invited or accepted?

If anyone has any idea how many applications are received, that would help me.

Best regards

We just wrote out an internship in parttime. We have received over 15 applications within about 2 weeks! 3 of them are invited to the conversation, 8 get directly a rejection because of inappropriate, the remaining 4 we have put ourselves “on Halde” again if the 3 invited everyone should not fit.

In the office sector, therefore, there is no shortage of skilled workers or applicants. At least not in places like this, which is quite interesting in terms of content and which offers a very fair framework within the industry with an employer like mine.

By the way, we have been looking for suitable qualifications for this place, as well as life cycles and documents that have not been given a skeptical question mark with us, as well as also include aspects that fit this point. So, not in all three cases quite classic, relevant professional experience, but a description of the career that makes it understandable why this person has applied to exactly this place and entrusted himself to it. One of them is therefore also strictly accepted professional starter in the field, after retraining, but has worked in a suitable other area beforehand.

You can’t say that on a flat-rate basis. It depends on where the job was posted and how long lead time there is.

I was in a small business. For the office there were always around 20.50 applications. And no: an evaluation of the application is not about the “nose factor”. It’s trying to find out the most suitable candidate. The industry, the professional experience and the age of the applicant play a role. The age: simply so that it fits into the environment. Sometimes an older one is the better one, sometimes a younger one. Depends on the performance of the boss…

We just get out of the Christmas and therefore holiday season. There may be delays. I’d recommend taking the phone call and calling next week if you don’t hear anything.

I can’t say anything about this because I’m not working in recruiting.
