How to deal with hundreds of applicants as a tech recruiter

Share

You have just advertised a tech role, and within a few hours, you get hundreds of applications. This can be exciting at first until you start going through them and realize that they all look and sound the same. And the worst part is that most of the applicants are unqualified.

Here is why this is happening.

AI has made it extremely easy for candidates to apply for any kind of job, even when they are not qualified.

  • Some candidates are blindly using AI tools to polish their applications and mirror your job post word-for-word to game the system.
  • Others are carelessly using AI auto apply tools to apply to hundreds of jobs, even without reading a single job post, flooding you with spam.

If you are a tech recruiter using a traditional ATS, you may not get the best candidates for the role since they use keyword matching to score and rank applicants. The problem is that candidates are already using AI to polish applications for those keywords. So, it ends up as AI judging AI, creating zero real value for everyone involved.

So, how can you fix this?

You need a better screening system that cuts through the noise and ensures that you only focus on qualified candidates worth your time. That is where Workscreen comes in.
