For example, we posted a job for a mid-level front end developer. We got a bunch of resumes from people who just finished a code bootcamp earlier this year, when we specified 3 years of front end development experience as the main requirement. Why does someone who finished a bootcamp 3 months ago and hasn't done any professional work yet thinks they should apply for a mid-level position, is beyond me.

Other candidates apply with 0 development experience - their resume frames them as "project managers" or "Search engine specialist" with no development related prior experience anywhere. I feel I wasted my time everytime I go through one of those.

There is no way to automate it with the systems we worked with. We receive the resume through their interface, it doesn't go directly to our Email and doesn't share the contact details directly.

Honestly, if you'd seen the kind of resumes we received you would not think most candidates put any effort at all. Like another person said here, it looks like most of them are spamming all job listing on those sites.

We used to receive inbound from sites like Ziprecruiter and Indeed. Now I'm using the Stackoverflow Talent service to search for applicants that fit our requirements. I don't start conversations with more than 1 or 2 at the same time, so I don't really need an additional tool to manage them.

> If an applicant takes the time to apply to your posting, why not give them a follow up regardless?

I'm not a hiring manager, but as the CTO I do review a lot of resumes incoming for technical positions we are hiring for.

The vast majority of applicants do not appear to be taking any time at all aside from selecting their resume to upload and clicking submit. It doesn't seem like they even read the job requirements, since 90% of them do not meet the minimal requirements we post. Some of them are not even developers, but they apply for a developer position.

If someone does appear to be relevant and did also include a cover letter relevant to the position, I will respond, regardless if they're a fit or not.

For me the biggest pain is the sheer amount of irrelevant submissions, which makes you numb after a while. This is why I don't believe in job postings anymore and mostly do headhunting.

Hope this helps!

Nice! Bookmarked for next renewal. Thanks!

$40? I paid over $90 for mine. Can I ask where you got it from?

Unfortunately, that doesn't work with dynamic subdomains (i.e, domains assigned and edited by users). Hopefully they'll change their minds in the future - until then, I'll be paying for a commercial certificate

Does this support wildcard subdomains? If not, would you be willing to add such support?
