I’m doing an experiment with different platforms to see how they are and whether they can be used for a talk show format.

So, my experiment is to answer several questions.

Do recruiters read cover letters?

What is the typical word count for a good cover letter?

How do you efficiently reach out to individuals in charge of reviewing online job applications, especially in situations where the recruiter or HR personnel never replies to phone calls or emails?

How does a recruitment consultant focus on helping candidates find jobs? Most are focused on assisting companies find the right candidate. As a recruitment consultant, how can one assist a job seeker find his/her dream job?

Is it legal to recruit on the basis of gender for technical jobs?
