What the heck. I don’t know how many times I see an ad and want to tailor my resume, so I plan to work on it next and then, after 1 day the company closes the job. 😫 99 applications in 24h. And that is only on LinkedIn.
I find this job market very strange. I know maybe some people just click on apply to see how much effort the application is, so the number is inflated, but still!
Do you think these jobs are for real? I guess these could be pseudo postings to meet legal requirements when they already have internal candidates. But it sucks jf you actually put in work to tailor your CV and then the job isn’t even actually a real opportunity. Maybe it’s smarter to wait for a few days of the position opening before applying, see if it’s still open so you don’t put in tons of effort to customize the resume for nothing?
How do you deal with this?

We put an ad on LinkedIn, since HR hadn’t paid for premium there was a limit on how many applicants could apply per day. It may or may not be related
Job postings for big companies are fake tbh
but that’s not surprising, just people spamming the easy apply linkedin application.
99 applicabts just shows you that 99 people have just clicked on „Apply“. That does not mean effectvly 99 ppl have applied for this role. Just be aware of this. Its an LinkedIn thing.
