Are You Sending Applications but Hearing Nothing Back? You’re Not Alone.
At Jobfront, we’re hearing it from candidates every day — “I’ve applied for over 30 jobs and haven’t heard back from any of them.” Or “I received an instant rejection email, probably automated. Did anyone even read my CV?”
The truth? You’re not imagining it. The job market has changed — fast.
AI Screening Is a New Gatekeeper — and It’s Tough
In today’s hiring process, your application often goes through an AI screening system before a human ever sees it. These automated tools are designed to filter CVs based on keywords, experience, or formatting. One small mismatch, and boom — you’re out, sometimes in seconds.
This tech is efficient for employers. But for job seekers? It can feel cold, demoralising, and completely out of your control.
The Biggest Struggles We’re Hearing from Job Seekers Right Now:
- Instant rejections with no feedback
- No interviews despite being well qualified
- Ghosting after submitting an application or even after first or second round interviews
- Confusion about what hiring managers are really looking for
- Burnout from applying with no progress
You’re not alone in this. The job market is fiercely competitive right now, and many brilliant candidates are getting overlooked.
What You Can Do About It — You Do Have Power
Don’t give up — get strategic.
âś… Optimise your CV for AI: Use job-specific keywords, clean formatting, and clear job titles.
✅ Tailor every application to the role — generic CVs don’t cut it anymore.
✅ Connect with recruiters (yes, like us!) — we bypass the bots.
✅ Manage rejection with resilience — it’s not personal, and you’re not the only one.
✅ Stay visible on LinkedIn — your next opportunity could come from a profile view.
You’re Not Being Forgotten — the System Is Just Overwhelmed
It might feel personal, but the reality is that HR teams are inundated with applications. AI screening software is a necessity for many employers, but that doesn’t make it easier to be on the receiving end of an automatic rejection.
That’s why we’re here.
