But most companies have filters for applications. I’ve had instances where people apply and I never get the application. I’ve mostly on found out about this because they were individual I knew were applying and was able to ask our HR team where the application was. Almost all the time was they were filtered out due to some stupid reason. That’s why I think calling or emailing the business that you applied is important. At the least, if I someone tells me they are applying I’ll look at their application and if they’ve reached out and their not qualified I’ll give them professional courtesy to tell them that and if they need to do anything differently. Otherwise I just click a “does not meet preferred qualities” button in the hiring portal.
