If you've sent over thirty job applications (or fifty, or eighty!) and not heard back, Jane Jackson, career coach, explains what's changed in recruitment the past few years and what you need to do differently.

With approximately 244 applications for the average job posting in 2025 compared to 116 applications per role in 2022 and recruiting teams shrinking by approximately 55% over that same period, no wonder there are MORE people applying for FEW roles and HALF the number of human beings to conduct the recruitment process.

So, applying more by using AI to create your job applications only to be screened out by AI seems like a lose-lose situation.

In my latest podcast episode I explain what the numbers are telling us, what the CEO of Indeed (top job search site) says, and how you can turn things around when you are clear about WHO you are, WHAT you can do, and WHY they should hire you. And how to ensure you have an internal advocate for the job.
