Being on the applicant side, you almost will never hear from or speak to a human. There is no way of validating what the result of the job wound up being. Was it filled, cancelled, did the company die? Likely filled, but often you won’t even get an automated response for 6 months. I haven’t been on the applying side in almost a decade, but I recall submitting something like 50 applications a week. I’d usually get a call back for a role or two every other week, and out of the 12 or so interviews I landed, 5 went to second interviews, and I received 2 offers. I was still fairly early career then but the hoops I had to jump through just to land a call was insane! Don’t get me started on hiring processes now, my company requires video resumes for outside applicants. It’s so unnecessary! Sorry for the word wall!
