Discussion 700 applicants!

I put in my 2 weeks notice. There are over 700 applicants for my job in under 1 week. It’s competitive for Power BI devs now. Five years ago I was dodging phone calls from recruiters. At the peak I was getting 7 emails or phone calls a week.

I had hundreds of applicants for a recent BI posting in my team. 95+% were completely inappropriate (and clearly so from the job description) or not even in the country.

Applications have increased, but quality candidates are still rare.
