There’s a blame game going on in the world of work. In new research from Indeed, talent leaders and job seekers agree hiring is getting harder, but the reason why is up for debate. Employers say there’s a shortage of quality applicants, but workers say it’s the roles that are lacking. Neither side seems to be meeting the needs of the other, but where exactly is it all going wrong?
As a Senior Content Writer with Indeed, I see a lot of data around the evolving dynamics between job seekers and employers, but this paradox is palpable. From attending Indeed-hosted roundtable discussions with talent leaders, I’ve heard firsthand accounts of practitioners struggling with hiring disconnects, flummoxed by the applications they receive, while social media is rife with candidates lamenting an impossible job search.
That's why, when I recently had the chance to collaborate on a new Indeed-commissioned research report exploring how each side defines a quality role or hire, I jumped at the chance. And the results didn’t let me down.
Here’s the lowdown on our findings, plus a link to download the full report.
