That’s not a guess. Research shows recruiters spend up to 23 hours on screening for a single role, and nearly 88% of resumes reviewed during high-volume hiring come from unqualified applicants. Meanwhile, a strong candidate applied Tuesday morning, waited three weeks without a word, and accepted your competitor’s offer by Friday.
