Direct Answer

Job-Genie needs a little more context here. 'They' could mean recruiters, employers, ATS systems, or hiring managers — and the reason behind each behaviour is different. Share what's happening specifically, and Job-Genie can give a precise, useful answer.

What Are You Seeing?

Here are some common frustrations job-seekers bring to Job-Genie — pick the one that fits:

• **Recruiters not responding** — this is often explained by the Recruiter-Fit Gap: the candidate's CV doesn't signal the right things in the first 10 seconds of a specialist recruiter's scan.
• **Applications disappearing into silence** — Job-Genie measures this via the Application Silence Score, which identifies the structural reasons a CV goes unanswered.
• **Jobs reposted repeatedly** — these may be Ghost Jobs: listings kept live despite no active hiring intent.
• **No feedback after interviews** — a different problem entirely, usually tied to process, not the candidate's profile.

Why Context Matters

Job-Genie's analysis is precise because the hidden job market operates differently from public job boards. The rules recruiters apply, the shortlist triggers they use, and the signals they ignore vary by sector, seniority, and role type. A vague frustration deserves a specific diagnosis.
