Why Good People Can't Get Jobs: Chasing After the 'Purple Squirrel' - Knowledge@Wharton
Why Good People Can't Get Jobs: Chasing After the 'Purple Squirrel' - Knowledge@Wharton
"The obvious point is that there just aren't enough jobs to go around right now, so employers can certainly be picky. But we're not really talking about being picky here. It's not surprising that employers might actually search more, and it might take them longer to hire now, because there are so many candidates to look at. Why grab the first one when you have this long queue that you could look at? But the unusual thing, and certainly the negative thing, from everybody's perspective is those employers who say, "Look, we're just not hiring, or we're waiting a very long time to hire, because we can't find what we want." I think the place we have to begin to answer that question is back with the employers who are making all those decisions about the process. Are they doing anything wrong?" -- Peter Cappelli
