Part 4/7:
Recruiters and HR professionals increasingly depend on keyword optimization and buzzwords to evaluate candidates. This reliance creates a disconnect between candidate capabilities and employer expectations. The typical result involves an extensive interview process that doesn’t necessarily lead to meaningful hiring decisions. According to various sources, employers often discover that about 50% of hires fail to meet expectations, emphasizing the inefficiency of traditional hiring practices. Consequently, this situation damages both employer and candidate—companies struggle to fill vacancies, while candidates endure longer periods of unemployment, leading to heightened levels of frustration and despair.
