It's interesting that he mentions the software and doesn't really mention recruitment companies. To the extent that this guy is right, recruiters are getting paid a lot of money and doing a pretty crap job. They are supposed to be the ones saying to employers "The requirements are too specific, The salary is too low." They are supposed to be the ones qualifying borderline applicants with a low percentage out of a deep pile. It's a hard job, but its not like they're charging $100 for it. They charge a lot. enough to justify full days talking to lots of applicants, hundreds if necessary. It feels like HR "consultants" spend 60% of their budget chasing clients 30% advertising & 10% actually doing the job you want them to do. Anyway, this guy, or one of the good HR consultants should blow the whistle (I'm exaggerating) on what they actually do. Then, show us how to do it right. Make a video going over job descriptions and point out when/if they're absurd. Show us the CVs that come in. Let us see the pain from the employer side. Why is Joel Spolsky the best resource for this? Where is the industry?
