Time to first screen on a phone-sized hiring app

Notes on recruitment apps and candidate drop-off
Short pieces from reviews we have actually sat in — the screens, the counts, and the arguments they caused.
Application volume is a poor weekly story
A rising application number can mean a louder job-board tag, a duplicate-submit bug, or an easier first screen — three very different situations for a talent lead.
Interview booked is not interview attended
A booked slot can be a cancelled manager, a public-holiday close, or a candidate who never meant to come. The event name should not pretend otherwise.
The gap between tapping Apply and pressing Submit
Most hiring apps celebrate the Apply tap. The leak that actually matters often sits in the three screens that follow, especially on a mid-range Android phone.
