Data collected from Oct 6th, 2023, until today. All data collected by me.

Applied to 61 job offers on different sites (LinkedIn mostly, but also some minor Spanish job sites). All of them were for Django or Python backend developer (asking for Django, FastAPI or Flask), mostly mid/senior level, but some of them even were for junior level, just in case.

    Man, I can say sometimes you’re right. But I have an open position on my team, I’ve received over 100 applications and something like 85% of them have no relevant experience. Do you actually expect me to try and talk to all of them? I do what I can and interview who I think fits best. It’s not perfect science but I have to work with what I have.

      I mean, a bog standard rejection email at least would be nice. Being entirely ghosted sucks, at least with a rejection I know not to keep thinking about that job.

        Yeah. Standard rejection emails are good. I have gotten some really nice rejection emails. I haven’t dwelt on them long enough to know what sets them apart.

        I have gotten a couple of rejections and thought: huh, I forgot I applied there. I have been wanting to do a diagram like this for my current job hunt, but I think I am getting a higher percentage of rejections than OP.
