Spot on, and the second-layer trap that catches most people is even quieter. You can have the right approach, target the right roles, do everything CIPD says is sensible, and still hear nothing back. The reason isn't the strategy. It's that three filters now decide whether an application becomes an interview. The ATS scores phrasing overlap with the ad. The recruiter scans the top third for 7 seconds. The hiring manager reads the survivors looking for fit with their actual problem. A generic CV loses at all three; an optimised one clears all three. Early-career candidates especially deserve to know this is the rule, before they spend months blaming themselves for the silence.
