#Indeed applications where you are missing required qualifications

If you're a hiring manager who reviews submitted applications on Indeed, do you ever see any applications where the candidate falls short of the requirements coded into the posting? On my side, Indeed will warn me that I'm missing the desired/required qualifications but gives me the option to submit anyway. Does it go to a separate queue for you I wonder?

You should rarely self select when it comes to applying for jobs

#

Just apply if you think you for the qualifications generally

#

Let them reject you

Right but I'm wondering how hiring managers physically see it on their side. Am I at the bottom of the queue, or you know?

But hey who knows

Pretty sure that Indeed filters out your resume

Sooo.... If someone was motivated to learn enough to "passably" have 1 year of experience in the time between scheduling an interview and taking it, would you lie and say you had a year experience? Let's face it, some stuff you can grind out in a few days and be able to talk smart enough about, right?

And avoid the middle man for applying lol

Right I see. So... Well I hate to be a stickler but then doesn't it suggest the best use of time on indeeds _is _ to self-select??

i mean personally i use those sites as a search engine

#

not as a means to apply to jobs

Oh smart

#

Applying directly to places leads to better interview selection rates than through indeed

same with linkedin

#

i literally never apply through linkedin

#

but its a great place to search for jobs, if that makes sense
