Applying online is a step. Unfortunately it is no guarantee that the supposed company's HR are going to get it, talkless of shortlisting. I stand to be corrected, yet in my experience, the issue of whether a company is recruiting or not has many intricacies. These could stem from the recruiting company itself. In a place like Nigeria, what is called a successful application is not online application, as a matter of fact, it is a mere formality. In developed countries with near absolute transparent recruitment practices, you can apply and say to a more or less extent, whether or not, you would get a call up. In Nigeria, you would do better, after applying online to go on say LinkedIn or facebook, (I'd say the former though) and find someone in the proposed coy's HR you have a mutual connection with. This is if you are one of the 89.9% percent of graduates with no Uncle, Member of Papa's club or Dad's church society President to hook you up. Truth be told, in Nigerian job market, the reality is to turn it upside down, inside out, wrong (sic) way for it to work.
