Job Market: There has been a series of mass layoffs across the globe where the biggest names, as well as the small players, have given the pink slip to their employees not by dozens but by hundreds, leading to large-scale unemployment.
In such a bleak situation, any information about any job opening is like music to ears, irrespective of whether the job profile matches the candidates’ talents and areas of expertise.
So bad is the situation that a start-up’s CEO received three thousand job applications within a span of forty-eight hours, that too when the job description was never advertised on any platform. It was available only on the website of the start-up.
Received over 3K resumes in the last 48 hours just on our website – how bad is the job market?

Kartik further said that the start-up received a total of 12,500+ applications in a month.
He also informed that the openings were not advertised on any platform and the details were only provided on the company website.
Aishit Jain @AishitJain: Is it the usual or anything different in the past 48 hours?
Kartik Mandaville @kar2905: its been like this for the month. 12,500+ applications so far
Aditya Das @theadityadas: Curious. What role is this for?
Kartik Mandaville @kar2905: Product, Founders Office, SDE, etc
(π) @piefactorial: Was this a more entry-level job? We got a similar number of applicants for intern/entry-level postings, but not so much for senior/lead positions.
Kartik Mandaville @kar2905: Across the spectrum – some with 5+ years
Arnav Gupta @championswimmer: Very bad

Equip – The ‘E’ in Easy-Hiring @get_equip: Need help screening and filtering all of them based on their skill level? 🤔😄
Jasleen Arora @AroraJasleen1: Tech or business roles or both? Willing to bet the inflow will be disproportionately higher if you are hiring for ‘Founders Office’
