How to make your online application more efficient 11/11/13 8:34 AM Are you sending tons of CVs to employers, but you often never hear back? There may be reasons for your lack of luck in the job search. Find out here what you can do to increase your chances. Recruiters in HR departments or recruitment agencies receive a large number of CVs every day. They have to decide within seconds if they call up the candidate or not. The key note of professional recruitment is to find similarities between the job and the applicant, the job seeker’s skills and the job responsibilities. Find out how to be effective in your online job application. Follow these tips to better target your online applications and increase your chances to make it to the interview: Only apply if you match the job ad by at least 75%: 75% is not only a good indicator for the recruiter – who will weed out those candidates who fall short – but it is also important for your personal risk management: You want to be sure the next step will be the right one, right? This ratio will give you confidence to succeed in the job and enough room to grow, learn and stay motivated for the next years. Only apply if you fulfil 99% of the must criteria: When it says “fluent French is a must”, this means that you cannot do the job unless you are fluent in French. You could apply when you give yourself a “very good”, but don’t apply if you only have basic knowledge. Be prepared that everything you put on your CV will be double-checked. So if you put “fluent” on your CV, but aren’t able to communicate at all in the stated language, the recruiter will find out.
