I didn’t say waste, and my job is managing and engineering. If I were in HR maybe. Even if I were a hiring manager, it’s still a lot of time into finding resources, and anyone in that situation gets frustrated.
It’s really hard to say. Generative AI can pump out unlimited resumes and fake human data to make everything look real. I don’t know of a service that screens candidates or vets them to make sure they an actual human. It’s kinda tinfoil hat to think hiring agencies are flooding the market with fake, so that people like me will just give up; but… i mean… maybe?
I hire in technology. I can easily spend weeks filling a position. Candidates lie through their resumes and interviews 20 wasted interviews = 30 hours cultivating those interviews I have about a 26% no show, no response to missed interviews. Posting a job equals literally hundreds of emails, recruiters, off shore companies, and badly done resumes.
Headhunters talk big and deliver bottom barrel candidates, no one likes recruiters, so great candidates hardly use them.
When I use tools like one way interviews so I can screen hundreds of candidates, the feedback is “it’s not personal enough”, then no show on an appointment THEY MAKE
I’m a small business, my resources for hiring aren’t extensive.
Just want to give some flavor to the other side of this.
