The intake problem in recruitment

  • Candidates send cover letters and LinkedIn messages in wildly different formats
  • Recruiters spend 6+ minutes per application copying details into the ATS
  • Salary expectations and notice periods are mentioned casually but critical for screening
  • High-volume roles generate hundreds of applications that need rapid qualification

Hi, I saw the Senior DevOps Engineer role on LinkedIn and I'm very interested. I'm currently a DevOps Lead at Shopify (3 years) and before that I spent 4 years at AWS on the ECS team. I'm strong in Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD). I have AWS Solutions Architect Pro and CKA certifications. Looking for $180-200K base plus equity. I need to give 4 weeks notice. I'm based in Toronto but open to remote US positions. Happy to chat anytime this week. - Raj Krishnamurthy, raj.k@protonmail.com, 416-555-0173
