Before we deepdive into how does this work, let us share how does this massively help a job seeker. If you have ever searched for a job, I bet you would have thought why don't people respond? Regardless of whether my application is going through or not, I deserve to hear back.
Fair ask! But why is it that you don't hear back? Job portals are designed to fetch as many applicants as possible for a particular job post, and with that design, employers and staffing firms, more often than not, are inundated with applicants. Don't believe us - make a post as a hiring manager and see for yourself. Now, it is practically impossible to review every CV with a particular assessment grid (a set of parameters) in mind. So, recruiters look for easy signals in CVs/Profiles/Applications that quickly let them determine whether someone's application in worth reviewing. If those signals are not evident in your overall application, your application is very (once more, very!) likely to skip the recruiter's eye. Afterall, they have to fill the position within a certain time frame, and a budget. In a nutshell, your application got buried before it could pique interest.
We aim to solve this problem by giving the power back in the hands of the job seeker to seek, and debate (reasonably and rationally!) feedback on their applications.
You would not believe this fact - we spoke to top headhunters and recruiters. In 75% (yes three quarters!) of cases where an application was overlooked and a candidate followed up highlighting why s/he thinks he would be a great fit for the role, they had to change their decisions. Yes, the same candidates were duly taken through the hiring process who were otherwise sure to have lost the opportunity.
We have also gone a step ahead to ensure recruiters respond within a reasonable timeframe i.e. 3 working days to a feedback or a follow up query. Obviously, not everyone would agree to this, but we have made a collection of jobs where you can expect guaranteed responses to your feelers in 3 working days, and this has crossed 400+! already. Aren't we a job seeker's best friend?
To sum it up, we have made a searchable collection of jobs where you can solicit timely responses to your job applications. It's called 'Jobs with guaranteed responses' on the Aplus home page.
Last but not the least, how does it work? To do all of the above and restrict spamming to recruiters, we are allowing guaranteed responses an 'all access' members only which is available at INR 1499/year only (that's less than INR 125/month). That's not all, with 'All Access' membership, you get access to job hunting tools like never before. See here.
So, a job seeker can buy 'All Access' membership of Aplus Hub, and simply seek feedback on his/her application, and debate it (within limits, of course!). The feature gets activated automatically once a user has taken 'All Access' membership! Every job in the 'Jobs with guaranteed' collection would show an option not just to message the recruiter, but also expect a response within 3 working days (a clear TAT or SLA, as in other things in life!
Hope this helps? If you have absolutely any feedback, use the feedback form (once you are logged in to Aplus, this form will pop up in the middle right of the screen) to get in touch with us.
We hope to make your job search a painless and successful process!

Ever walked out of an interview thinking, “I nailed it!”—only to never hear back? Well, as a consultant who’s seen hundreds of interviews, let me spill the chai: there are 5 things interviewers always notice—consciously or not!
1️⃣ How serious are you?
If you haven’t read about the company or what they’re building, it’s game over. Pro tip: ask a thoughtful question or share a suggestion—it screams I care!
2️⃣ Problem-solving mindset.
When given a situation, the focus isn’t just on getting the answer right—it’s on how you think. Even if you can’t solve it, showing logical “solutioning” wins big points.
3️⃣ Your first impression game.
For in-person interviews: dress right (Don't surpass shoes), How & when you use Hand gestures, how you place your hand & legs, shoulders upright or not, Never compromise on "Smile on a face"- these cover 40% of the decision.
Online? Camera on, audio checked, and wear something that shows effort (no, not your favorite hoodie).
4️⃣ The project connection.
Come prepped with at least one project that aligns with the JD or what the founders are building. That’s their Sweet spot.
5️⃣ The trust trigger—eye contact.
Be confident, look them in the eye (yes, even on Zoom). Confidence builds credibility.
Because remember—you’re not just being interviewed, you’re being observed ! 👀
You've gone through an education system that probably never taught you anything about professionalism, logical deconstruction, and comfort with ambiguity. You may have tremendous bookish knowledge, but lacking these three attributes is an immediate invisible red flag that will stop you from getting the job or the promotion you always wanted.
Let's throw some light on the top-5 common mistakes that highlight your lack of these attributes, and what you should be doing instead
- Showing up late without informing your interviewer/coordinator - there are genuine reasons one could be running late, but that needs to be duly communicated ahead of the planned interaction. Inform every marked on an invite, drop a text or give a call, but keep your stakeholders informed. Their time is as much valuable as yours.
- Turning up unprepared for the interview - if you are turning up unprepared, why is it that you are turning up at all? why waste your and interviewer's time? You are better off declining the opportunity, instead of ruining your reputation unnecessarily. You must invest 1 hour to read about the company, the opportunity, some information in the public domain and so on, if you have chosen to show up for an interview.
- Going silent instead of communicating effectively with your stakeholders - it might come as an insight but everyone knows you would evaluate multiple opportunities before chosing one, everyone knows that your decision might be influenced by your loved ones, and everyone is okay with your being unsure, but nobody likes to be left wondering about what might be happening. So, good, bad or ugly, communicate, communicate and communicate! You'll build more relationships that you ever thought, and you never know, one or more of these relationships may turn gold in the times to come.
- Rambling stuff that does not make sense - let us fill you in on another secret, nobody - not even the most successful individuals can know everything about everything in the world. So, when presented with topics/questions you have no clue about, you got to either draw parallels from what you have expertise on, rationally break down the information you are presented with to come up with simple yet logical answers, or admit you do not know anything about this but can talk about something relevant to the opportunity being discussed in detail.
- Demanding a bomb without a concrete rationale - the whole world is underpaid, friends! who doesn't want more, but that's not how it works. Your next compensation cannot ignore your current and/or previous compensations. If you chose to take a sabbatical, took an opportunity by taking a haircut, or become an entrepreneur that eventually did not work out, you have to make peace with your decision. Nobody else had a say in that! You can definitely demonstrate additional skills/knowledge that you acquired during this period (that surely has a value), but that value isn't the only figure on which your next compensation will be decided on. So, learn about the market standards and try to limit your ask within the broadly acceptable range.
Let’s be honest — job hunting today feels like swiping right on a dating app where no one ever replies. Employers can’t find the right talent, job seekers chase ghost listings, and somewhere between “We’ll get back to you” and “Position closed,” everyone loses their sanity.
