Was zum Teufel. Ich weiß nicht, wie oft ich eine Anzeige sehe und meinen Lebenslauf anpassen möchte, deshalb habe ich vor, als nächstes daran zu arbeiten und dann, nach einem Tag, schließt das Unternehmen die Stelle. 😫 99 Bewerbungen in 24h. Und das gibt es nur auf LinkedIn.

    Ich finde diesen Arbeitsmarkt sehr seltsam. Ich weiß, vielleicht klicken manche Leute einfach auf „Bewerben“, um zu sehen, wie viel Aufwand die Bewerbung macht, also ist die Zahl überhöht, aber trotzdem!

    Glaubst du, dass diese Jobs echt sind? Ich gehe davon aus, dass es sich hierbei um Pseudoausschreibungen handeln könnte, um rechtliche Anforderungen zu erfüllen, wenn es bereits interne Kandidaten gibt. Aber es ist scheiße, wenn man sich tatsächlich Mühe gibt, seinen Lebenslauf anzupassen, und der Job dann nicht einmal eine echte Chance darstellt. Vielleicht ist es sinnvoller, mit der Bewerbung ein paar Tage nach der Stellenausschreibung abzuwarten und zu prüfen, ob die Stelle noch offen ist, damit Sie sich nicht unnötig viel Mühe geben, den Lebenslauf anzupassen?

    Wie gehen Sie damit um?

      We put an ad on LinkedIn, since HR hadn’t paid for premium there was a limit on how many applicants could apply per day. It may or may not be related

    2. but that’s not surprising, just people spamming the easy apply linkedin application.

      99 applicabts just shows you that 99 people have just clicked on „Apply“. That does not mean effectvly 99 ppl have applied for this role. Just be aware of this. Its an LinkedIn thing.

    4. I can confirm: When we’ve opened positions for my team, we had to close after a couple of days because the amount of CVs we received (most of them not good) was crazy high.

    5. Have you checked the Swisscom hiring page? Maybe there the position is still listed

      Theres a limit on the number of applications a company can receive over LinkedIn without paying. LinkedIn doesn’t tell you this upfront, but it’s buried deep in the support area. 

      I’d check for the ad still being present on the company website.

      Application slop, it depends on the quality, not the quantitiy of applications

    8. Swisscom and Swiss Post are baaaad offenders here. Certain jobs (in marketing especially) are up for maybe 2 days most of the time. I called after one of them once for the same reason as you, and they told me they had too many applicants.

      So yeah, it sucks. I still think they should communicate an application deadline instead, even if it’s 2 days.

    9. It is what it is.. The job market is kinda crazy right now.. A few months ago, we opened a position at my company, and in just 2 days we got over 300 applications. I can’t even imagine what it’s like at larger companies, tbh

      99 applicants could mean they clicked on the application page but don’t mean they have applied.

      Easy apply.

      I once published a job in linkedin with easy apply and I had 30 applications in 1 hour. 29 of them were from people that are completely unqualified, living abroad or both.

      Honestly this is nothing. I moved here from the Silicon Valley where the average is 5-10k applications for any good role with easy apply in 24 hours.

    13. Yeah we were recently hiring a portfolio manager, opened the position on linkedin and closed it after 1 day. We could cherry pick from the best. The market is brutal now…

      I had an interview in a bank last week: the hiring manager told me he received 168 cv and is doing 25 first rounds. This is the new normal

    15. This screenshot is possibly misleading. Those days the LinkedIn job portal is so fucked that when you post a job with a certain budget, it burns the budget in one day and then closes the application. This might be the case. Might reopen soon

      Had a similar experience, the role was closed on linkedin but still open on the official website:) In my experience when we left a job position open, you get hundreds of applications some are not even living in Switzerland, don’t have residency status and just to filter through all that takes time especially if an application tracking system isn’t set up. And to be fair I prefer a person filtering through the application than an automation

    17. I had a brief experience in recruiting, using LinkedIn Professional Recruiter license.

      Those are just the ones who click on Apply. Also, I can tell you that most probably 90-95% of those applicants are from other regions, therefore not eligible for the job. Also LinkedIn has an automatic block on your advert when it receives a high number of applications in short time. Yes, even when you pay for it, they block it. LinkedIn is garbage.

      From what I’ve heard from friends the RAV makes you apply to a certain amount of jobs regularly which made me think that these kinds of job openings must be flooded with people that maybe aren’t even right for the job but have to fulfill a quota. Always wondered about the effect of that on hiring

    19. Curious_Big_Elephant on

      Always has been like this for young people these 2 last years. Only applied to jobs with 99+ applicants. HR told me once they received more than 700 applicants. Usually it is expected to receive at least 250-300. Eventually I was lucky enough to obtain something
