No, I don't know your market, because you didn't tell us. If you want a useful answer, then you need to include all of the relevant information. If what you say is true, then your field is by and far the exception, not the rule. And even then, I still wouldn't hold your breath on having that job available. | |
| Mar 28, 2016 at 18:19 | comment | added | Peter Mel | @mcknz Ok, so the question is not if I should or should not deny it. The question is what's the best way to deny it. What reasons should I state? | |
| Mar 28, 2016 at 18:17 | comment | added | mcknz | @PeterMel I am not a recruiter, but would agree with David K. Of course not all markets have more applicants than positions, but in every mainstream employment opportunity I know of, that's the case. It would be normal for an employer to interview more than one person for a position, so the employer can fill the opening in case the first choice isn't available. If your situation is different from the mainstream as you say, then perhaps only you can best answer your question? | |

I'm a deep sea explorer. There are more positions than applicants in my area. | |
