Ask HN: Why is hiring so dehumanized, and what can be done?
31 by elevanation | 14 comments on Hacker News.
As technology permeates the world more and more, the hiring process is becoming more dehumanized, IMHO. What can we do as an industry, to make hiring more efficient for everyone? Some of the pain points I observe are: 1. Applicants must wade through large volumes of job postings, which are often poorly written, and frequently lacking key information which is important to the applicant. 2. Employers are overwhelmed with large numbers of applicants, most of whom don't meet the requested minimum requirements. 3. Employers are then too overwhelmed to reply to all the applicants. 4. Applicants are then annoyed with the lack of replies. 5. By the time an employer finds a potential match, the applicant may be difficult to reach, or is no longer interested. 6. By the time an applicant hears back from an employer, they are disappointed in the quality of the response, and already have a bad impression of the employer. What is working well today to address these pain points? What are other Possible Fixes?
