"This is the strangest employment market I have ever recruited in. The mismatch between expectations and qualifications is an enormous gap."
"Recruiters really be posting jobs that don't exist just to build their pipeline. Meanwhile, actual qualified people can't even get a callback. The whole system is broken."
"Toddler wanted. No more than 2 years old. Must have 7 years experience."
"Doesn't help when your 'open to work' and 99% of the shit you get are scams."
The global pandemic in 2020 disrupted the world of work and intensified difficulties in finding employment. Recruiters report an unprecedented employment market marked by a large gap between employer expectations and candidate qualifications. Recruiters sometimes post non-existent 'ghost jobs' to build candidate pipelines, while genuinely qualified applicants often receive no callbacks. Job listings frequently include unrealistic requirements, exemplified by absurd demands for extensive experience in implausible contexts. The prevalence of fraudulent or scam job messages further undermines job seekers' prospects and trust. Combined factors have created frustration for candidates and strain on the hiring system.
