RocketJob Operational Statistics

Here is data on job searches currently in progress, showing the effort required to land interviews. Below is a data table with statistics from our five most recent job search success stories where candidates landed their target positions.

Progress on Current Searches

  • An Enterprise SaaS Account Executive who was making $120k OTE (on target earnings) was unemployed for 15 months. In just over one month, we got him 17 interviews. He is now in the final stages of landing a job at a hot SaaS company where he will make $150-$250k.
  • A Software Engineer who was making $80k was seeking $100k. After submitting 330 resumes, he got 7 interviews in just 1 month's time. He has asked us to pause as he believes he will land a job from this batch.
  • A Social Media Director making $160k wanted to do just 50 submissions to see if she would be called for jobs making $200k or more. We were able to get her a good interview with just 50 submissions.
  • Be sure to also review Barbara's story, which is about a very senior-level executive in her mid-50's who is using our services to secure a job in the $350 - $500k range.
