It's a bit odd that the people who applied in the brief (3 days was it?) online application apparently haven't heard anything yet.
Just a bit of my own unique mental diarrhea here but I'd have thought it takes, on average, about 5 minutes to read a CV/cover letter and decide if they warrant an interview.
Some will take longer, some will be an instant no, but supposing 5 minutes is an average that's 12 an hour. Call it 10 allowing for a coffee/fag/toilet break that's 70 in a 7 hour day and 350 in a week. The application closed nearly 6 weeks ago now, so that's enough time to read 2100 CVs.
I know that's only back of a fag packet, pub maths but surely they must have some idea of what they need and send out a few interview dates and PFOs.
Frustration is an understatement.
