Do HR reps have a quota wrt job applications
- Thread starter One
- Start date
Why do you think you have no chance of getting it?
Do you know what they are looking for? If it's an agency I could potentially see some kick backs but an internal HR staff member - just a waste of their time looking at your application if they have no interest in it.

Internal HR?
Or an external recruitment company.
If it's internal HR it's probably because they want your for the job.
If it's an external recruitment company, because they will throw as many CV's at a job as they can possible muster in the hope that one of their candidates gets the job and them the payout. Scum of the earth these folk!

Still happens though - HR people don't necessarily understand what is actually required for some roles - especially if its a technical role. It seems to be quite common, on linked in at least, for internal HR people to find candidates and based on some of the mails I've received they're not that good at targeting the right people.
Because sometimes they see something in your CV that they think is worthwhile you interviewing for. I had one company phone me out the blue, they described the role and I said thanks but no thanks and they were practically begging me to come for the interview.
HR people often attract unwanted management attention if they can't fill vacancies internally - managers don't like going to the external market, especially at the moment. So they probably don't have anyone immediately suitable so are looking at a more innovative solution.
I don't want to put the OP off though, worst that can happen is they say no right? Personally I think that the right attitude and experience is often more valuable than ticking the right skills boxes. I wish HR would wake up to this.
