Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

This is why it is soooo important to network. I’m far more likely to read a resume given to me by a friend or someone I know verses a random resume that lands in my inbox.
“Networking” increasingly just means nepotism.
It always did.
Nepotism is when you hire someone unqualified because you know them.
Networking is when you hire someone who is qualified because you know them.
Who would you rather hire, a qualified person you’ve met at least once outside of the hiring process and like, or a qualified person who is a complete unknown outside of their likely embellished resume?
This thread is just so sensitive it seems. I have been on the shit end of the stick this year with losing two jobs and I still agree with so many of the recruiters in this thread and your comment. I don’t want to network, but sadly that does increase the likelihood of getting my resume looked at. These people need to understand that people who are looking at resumes are also working, if your qualifications are in the details instead of being upfront then I’m sorry, no one will spend longer time to look at your resume compared to thousands of other resumes.
