I think the way that job seekers/employers go about getting jobs/filling positions attributes to the huge turnover rate.
It seems to me that in the past you had an "in" - someone that told you about the opportunity and primed you for the position. Also, they probably talked you up and set expectations when recommending you.
Today, hiring is closer to tinder than a blind date. You send a resume, you talk to some people for a few hours and you are expected to make a decision based on that. There is little emphasis given to how good a fit will be. Personally, I have walked into interviews where they were so eager to give me an offer that they didn't even bother to give me details on the position and the environment.
Getting a job and finding out that it's not what you expected 4 months in is disheartening. But employees and employers alike are guilty of not looking at this as a long-term investment.
