RE: Is this Alice in Wonderland? 93+ million Americans out of work and recruiters can’t hire anybody?
The keyword is “Qualified”.
Maybe this is this the employer’s way of saying “I can’t find someone willing to work at the money I am willing to pay”
I would imagine, out of the unemployed, some would be willing to take the wages being offered to at least get off unemployment, if they’re even on unemployment any longer. If the unemployment is too appealing, then let’s cut that either lower or shorter timeframe and I’d bet there would be more applicants.
HR folks are particularly struggling in the services sector . . .
Most HR people are some of the laziest most worthless people in the company who see their role as little more than commissars to enforce quotas and political correctness. They wouldn't know talent if it hit them in the face because they are too busy running around worshiping at the altar of diversity and PC which, of course, doesn't include anyone over 50 because they have too many of them already.
There are three Chick-Fil-A restaurants in our town that do a better job of recruiting and keeping quality help than most corporate HR Departments. Why do you suppose that is?
“Maybe this is this the employer’s way of saying “I can’t find someone willing to work at the money I am willing to pay—
Bingo!
At 60 I am at the peak of my career, I still get recruiters offering me jobs at half what I make now.
