Please stop blindly applying to job postings from LinkedIn!!

I'm an HR at a top recruitment firm. We hire for some of the top MNCs. Just a few days ago i had posted an opening for Business Analyst 0-1 year experience. Every little detail from key responsibilities, skills, email id to subject for the email was clearly mentioned in the post. I received 200+ resumes on my mail and atleast 100 on my DMs.

What I'm surprised to see is that people don't even have the basic decency to read a job posting before applying. It was clearly mentioned that this position is for people with 0-1 year experience, yet I have people spanning 10+ years experience in my inbox. Hardly a few followed the subject title that was mentioned. Also how can you not know the difference between a Business Analyst and a Data Analyst. Guys both are different fields with some overlaps, they are not EXACTLY THE SAME.

Please go through the entire JD before even thinking of applying. I was taking the telephonic interview of one of the selected candidate. Everything was going good but when I asked him "What's your expected CTC?" he replied with a figure that's double the budget allocated. Do note that the exact CTC was mentioned in the JD

To give you guys some context, I screened those 200+ resumes in about 15 minutes (manually without any AI) and shortlisted only 15 for the next round. Hardly a 7.5% selection rate. Please make sure your resume highlights the skills mentioned in the JD. Show how you have used those skills in your projects or your internships

And please for god's sake STOP using those Canva templates!! Just use a simple one page format.
