Stop drowning in applications!
This might not apply to everyone, but... You need to stop drowning in 150+ applications Was chatting with a recruiter yesterday who'd been pulling her hair out over hiring cold callers. Getting about 150 applications per role. She said she’d spent most of her time going back-and-forth scheduling and that led nowhere. You know the drill: candidates ghost after booking calls, no-shows are through the roof, and when they do show up, half of them can't handle a simple "I'm not interested" objection. So I suggested something I think everyone here needs, something that handles the messy stuff upfront: - Quick screening form that asks the real questions - "What's your opener when someone says they're not interested?" and "Sell me this pen" - Auto-scores based on whether they actually probe before pitching vs just word-vomiting features - Top scorers get prompted for a 2-minute video walking through their cold call process - Only the ones who show real grit and process thinking hit her calendar She went from reviewing 150 random applications to 12-15 who actually know what they're doing. Her close rate on offers jumped because she stopped wasting time on people who fold after the first "no." Anyone else tired of interviewing people who've clearly never made a cold call in their life?
