I was just reading a thread on Linkedin by a recruiter who lined up 30 candidates based on the client's requirements, only to have the client reject all 30 of them. This problem is rampant and I don't think anyone has a handle on it. A few observations: - Modern society is so captured by social media, it's easy to make shallow connections but when it comes time to make the deeper connection, an actual hiring decision, hiring managers simply balk, and Loss Aversion Bias takes over. - Being able to apply via the Internet creates too big a pipeline and shifts burden to the companies, which don't have the resources to handle the screening workload in a way that shows any consideration for the candidate. - The shifting nature of technology makes the recruiting business hard. How is the average newcomer to recruiting supposed to be savvy enough to suss out the 12 different ways someone can be a "Docker Expert?" It's just absurd. - Everyone hates the status quo. Job candidates, hiring managers, people who work in the staffing industry all hate the status quo and wish for a better way to guide talent toward the places where it is needed. I don't see any way in which this is easy to fix.
