This will change the way you job search

One of the biggest pushbacks we get in the world of Recruitment is that it's very hard to get through to Recruiters. This newsletter is our attempt to bridge that gap.

Hello all, it’s Charlie from MCG Talent here.

Wanted to take a slight breakaway from our usual content to try and get your opinion on things. As above, the perception of Recruiters in the market is that they are very elusive and hard to get hold of.

From our side, it's no way intentional for us to be avoiding you, it's just near impossible to get back to everyone given the sheer volume of inbound activity we get every day. 

For every job we have live, we get over a thousand applicants directly through LinkedIn, hundreds through our website and social platforms and then even more from previous contacts we have an open correspondence with.

If I had a team of five Charlies (terrifying thought - I know) it still wouldn't be enough to get back to everyone that reaches out.

This is even further complicated by this simple fact. Regardless of how many people apply for a role, only one person can get the job.

If every job that we posted received five-hundred applicants (it’s usually double or treble this) then it would be a ratio of 1 happy individual to 499 unhappy individuals.

That’s a problem and one we are trying to address front-on.

So, we've come up with a middle ground approach that brings a lot more transparency to the process and hopefully gives a bit of insight on the way. 

Here’s how we’re going to try and help you.
