“Why was my resume rejected when I think I’m a great fit for this job?”

So many times I’ve observed the reason being the hiring manager not talking with their recruiter / inbound sourcer / the person doing the resume screening.

The hiring manager would eg say “I want someone senior with Go experience, don’t send me anyone below 5 YOE” and the recruiter rejects anyone without 5 years of Go on their resume, even though it’s not what the hiring manager meant…

@gergelyorosz We paired with the recruiter to do screenings initially to highlight the specific things we cared about and didn’t and generated a checklist from the exercise.
