April 09, 2025 · 47 min

Job boards might seem simple. You scroll, you apply, you wait. But behind the scenes? There’s a whole hidden system at play that most job seekers never see. And if you knew how it really worked, you’d job hunt completely differently.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Olivia, our Director of Customer Success and a the go-to hiring insider who’s been behind the curtain at Indeed and Data People. She’s breaking down what actually happens to your application, whether ‘Easy Apply’ is helping or hurting you, and how to work with the system instead of getting lost in it.

If you’ve ever felt like your resume is disappearing into the void, you’re not imagining it. But there’s a way to work with the system instead of against it. Olivia’s spilling all the behind-the-scenes secrets, plus actionable strategies to help you save countless hours of frustration in your job search. Hit play and let’s get into it!
