Hiring Friction
Friction at every step of the recruitment process impedes software developers from finding roles that match their qualifications.
-
1Social Media
- The most popular job boards promote social media content over job listings in order to drive more engagement on their sites.
-
2Ghost Jobs
- Many job listings are actually ads to raise brand awareness for companies instead of real opportunities.
-
3Misleading Requirements
- Real job listings often have the wrong requirements for the position discouraging qualified applicants from applying.
-
4Bot v Bot
- Strong applications are lost in the noisy interactions between recruiting AI agents that screen candidates and candidate AI agents that mass apply to positions.
Wall Street Journal
“Job seekers, frustrated with corporate hiring software, are deploying new automated bots to craft cover letters and résumés and robo-apply for hundreds of jobs in just a few clicks. In response, companies are deploying more bots of their own to sort through the oceans of applications. The result: a bot-versus-bot war that’s leaving both applicants and employers irritated and has made the chances of landing an interview, much less a job, even slimmer than before.”
