Ever posted a job advert and been overwhelmed by hundreds of applications, only to find that most aren’t up to scratch? For small businesses, this scenario is all too familiar. While it might seem that more applications would increase your chances of finding the right candidate, it often just leads to more work and frustration.
When you’re looking to find the ideal candidate, sifting through a mountain of CVs can make the process cumbersome. Here’s why:
Going through hundreds of CVs takes a considerable amount of time, particularly when many candidates don’t meet the criteria. For small teams with limited HR resources, this can be exhausting and lead to delays in filling the position.
Reviewing an endless stream of unsuitable applications can wear you out, making it harder to spot the truly qualified candidates. As fatigue sets in, you might overlook potential stars because you’re too tired to assess them properly.
A flood of applications makes it challenging to provide timely and personalised responses to every applicant. This can lead to a negative impression of your company, causing good candidates to lose interest.
It’s not about the number of applications you receive, but the quality of those applications. Fewer, well-suited candidates make the process more manageable and effective. By focusing on attracting the right candidates from the start, you save time and improve your chances of finding the perfect fit.

We design a targeted and compelling job advert, promote it across multiple job boards and social media platforms, and handle candidate screening.
