Got an email on Indeed from a recruiter to apply for a job on Indeed due to my profile. Applied and got rejected in like 20 minutes

Got an email from an HR lady at this law firm. She said that based on my profile and resume she thinks I would be a good fit and asked me to formally apply.
Apply and send my resume. My profile is basically just my resume. And not too long after get an email I’m rejected.
…..why message me in the first place if you were going to deny it so quickly? Felt like a waste of time.

- Story of my entire Indeed “career”. It’s a full time job getting rejected on Indeed and filtering the scam jobs.
- I got recruited for a role and asked to apply via LinkedIn. I did and immediately got an automated rejection. I hemmed and hawed about it for a bit and finally just forced myself to email the recruiter. It was a mistake and they had no idea I had even applied in the first place.
Anyway, if it was something you were excited about, it can’t hurt to email the recruiter and let them know. It might not get you anything, but it really can’t hurt. - It’s highly likely that the email that you received was automated. I’ve had emails telling me that I’m a really good fit for roles that I don’t even meet the bare minimum essential criteria for. If you’ve just received one email, it might look personalised, but once you receive a few more, you’ll realise that they’re just boilerplate emails that recruiters can send in bulk to a load of candidates in the hopes that a couple of people apply.
- Those emails are not from the jobs’ recruiters, they are from Indeed internal recruiters. I’ve had plenty of that particular experiences during the last 6 weeks sending out applications.
