Sure, âhiring managers being bad at marketing is the bottleneck, not fundingâ is at least partially true. It still implies that if you happen to stumble across a poorly advertised position, you shouldnât expect the acceptance rate to be low!
âPoor advertisingâ would imply that you stuck official-looking posters of your job offer in the wrong places, like inside alleyways.
But posting your job offer on a Twitter profile that looks like one of a million bot accounts is actually more the equivalent of leaving unmarked USB sticks in public restrooms and expecting people to plug them into their computers.
Sure, not the metaphor I would use but I broadly agree that applicants who are willing to plug the metaphorical USB stick into their computer (e.g. by following people they want to work with and applying to the jobs that they post) have a much lower rejection rate.
