Hiring is on hold for this role!!!

Whatever. This is typical for the times. But resume tends to get through. I tailor the rez and even think I have a way to do better than Jobscan by listing an "Areas of Expertise" section at the top. I drop 10 skills/words from the JD in there. Sometimes I can even back up the claim. 

Yesterday, I got a call from. company in the DXP space. I have no such relevant expertise and couldn't sell my way around it. So be it. I got a reply. shot taken. But what I want to know is whether this rejection is form or custom.

It’s a form letter sent to everyone. The job is probably legitimately on hold though.

Don’t take it to heart if she doesn’t reach back out though, she probably just forgot

This is really weird,if it's on hold why don't they just take it off then re-add it again whenever it comes available again!

It's likely true, not that it makes you feel any better. If you want shoot me a DM and I have a recruiter I would love to refer you to.

Is cold-calling the hiring manager/recruiter/VP of sales going too far when looking for a BDR/SDR role?
