🤔 Curious. What’s your reaction to this research in an article shared recently by Mary Olsen on LinkedIn? “High-paying job positions in Utah receive an average of 34.9 applications per job post.” When I read this headline, my first question was, “Why in the heck would you want that many applications?" 🤷♀️ Lol! Every time I post a job, my goal is to receive at most 🔟, but ideally 5️⃣ or less. I do not want to waste my time combing through resumes and reaching out to candidates who won’t return my request for a phone interview. I only want to speak to candidates who have the potential to be a unicorn that poops rainbows. 🌈 But what qualifies someone for this status? Stay tuned for my definition in my Thursday post. 🎇 In the meantime, please feel free to share your questions and/or frustrations with receiving applications for a job post below. I would love to hear from you! 💻 #jobposting #recruitment #interview #jobapplication #unicorns #bestemployees https://lnkd.in/g-yvS6uM
