Jobseeker and Employer Mismatches

Lots of jobs and lots of unemployed people are out there. There's a ton of reasons why they can't get matched up.
  • Unemployed people want good wages
  • They want better job security
  • They want genuine benefits
  • Wages not appropriate for local costs of living
  • Fear of COVID
  • Desire to work from home sometimes
  • Work requirements evolve over time, moving beyond the available skill sets
  • Employers use job descriptions that are impossible to fill
  • Employers use bad AI that screen out perfectly good applicants
  • Employers not willing to provide good training
  • Employers have a lack of imagination in hiring
  • Employers unwilling to take risks in hiring
  • Both job seekers and employers fail to think outside their own respective boxes
