Why You’re Not Getting Hired (and Recruiters Won’t Tell You) 🚫

📌 Hiring Pyramid – How Recruiters Prioritize:

⿡ Internal Hiring

✅ Current employees moving within or across departments. Top priority.

⿢ Hiring Manager’s Network

✅ People they’ve worked with before, in their LinkedIn network, or who’ve reached out directly.

⿣ Internal Referrals

✅ Employees vouching for you - your CV jumps ahead of cold applicants.

⿤ Cold Applications

✅ Least priority. This is where 80% of candidates end up.

💡 Action Plan:

Don’t just submit your CV - network.

Reach out to at least 5 people at the company (recruiter, hiring manager, or employees in your target department).

Aim for referrals or connections to get into the top 3 buckets.
