We have talked about how the hiring process is clearly broken. It is a broken process with humans on both sides of the equation. There is a candidate who is anxious about not only the prospect of landing the job of their dreams, but how they are going to pay their bills. For the candidates, there is anxiety at every stage of the process and even some crying and depression before and after going through multiple hiring processes with each being the promise that will put an end to the search. There are HR pros and recruiters who are inundated with hundreds and sometimes thousands of resumes and are trying their best to keep up with the steady flow of information. There are individual contributors who are trying to juggle their day-to-day work while making up for staffing shortages and splitting their time with the interview process. Everyone is trying to help. The hiring process is still crumbling, a process in which multiple groups and contributors help it but none have a purview to the whole process therefore no one person or group is at fault. By the same token, no one person or group is blameless and we can all help in fixing this broken system.
