My experience was I was 100% ignored by companies using Lever or Greenhouse for their applications. I don't know if that's a sign of their company processes, some bit of info on my resume, or if those tools offer the recruiter girls a quick way to ignore/filter out certain people, but FYI. I don't bother with applying to those anymore.
wtf mate?
Anyway: I was poached by a former peer for his new department. I marked my interest on business social media and the requirement for remote. "Interviewed" with one place, the new one, as a formality.
Networks have never failed me, but they aren't very communicable/useful to others... either. Plant seeds regardless of the sun

Male representation in internal recruiting orgs is maybe 20% at best. Probably closer to 10%.
In regular bog-standard (non-outsourced-overseas) HR organizations, men are unicorns.
There's a huge push to get everyone back into the office 5 days a week. Be prepared to be told NO remote work. I have a similar experience to the previous comment, applied to about 50 jobs and got 2 interviews. Removed all dates from my resume and now I'm getting interviews left and right because they can't tell how "senior" I am.
This would raise a lot of eyebrows in the UK. Hiring managers might wonder what you’re hiding.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Honest question: why was race and gender even /on/ your application in the first place? Do you mean the EEO questions that they ask -- because those are absolutely not supposed to be part of the application. Or do you mean you have it on your resume? Because... why?
IDK about this guy, maybe just trolling, but when I was hiring I realized you can really tell from indirect information. Name and college name will give you a real strong guess. It was weird because I was just trying to avoid h1-b applicants since I was told we weren't doing that, but I quickly realized that I was optimizing against indian people and also that taking bias out of the hiring process is a lie that HR te…
Recently a friend hooked me up with a friend of his who is working on an AI accelerator chip startup on a shoestring. So I guess I'm about to start working on that. No pay, just equity, but there's a huge amount of money sloshing around in this space right now and who knows, maybe he can get some funding? Interesting stuff to work on, anyway, even if it doesn't pan out.
I guess the takeaway here is that it's surprisingly easy to find a gig that only pays in equity.
I’m looking for a front end position - it’s never taken me more than four or five months in the past, and I have more experience and sharper skills now than ever before… and it’s been almost eight months currently. Maybe only 50% of applications out of hundreds even prompt a “thank you but no” form email. It’s almost never personal either, since everyone proxies their hiring process through big job board sites.
It’s insane how little personal engagement with actual humans is happening, I’ve never experienced a job hunt like this before, it’s really making me wonder what I’m doing wrong. Usually I do a few interviews, find a spot that seems promising, and jump right into another contract. I don’t know why it should be different this round.
