Sending automated applications?

We’re seeing a significant increase in applications sent via automated CV tools. This creates a large volume of irrelevant submissions, making it more difficult to provide fast and high-quality feedback.

Applications submitted through automated tools are not reviewed. Continued use of auto-senders may also link your name to bot traffic, increasing the risk of being blocked by our spam filters going forward.

The biggest consequence, however, is that the noise from automated submissions makes it harder to identify those of you who take the time to send relevant and well-prepared applications. Strong candidates risk getting lost in the volume.

We want to spend our time on candidates who match our needs – and who clearly communicate what they can contribute.

A sincere thank you to those who:

• Send targeted and relevant applications
• Have documentation and certifications in order
• Clearly state their availability

This makes a real difference – and allows us to provide faster and more accurate feedback.
