How Hiring Managers Make Decisions | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
When hiring managers sit down to decide which candidate gets a job offer, the decision is not likely going to be made based on any one candidate's skills and experience. While your skills and expertise matter, companies hire for three things: personality, aptitude, and experience (in that order).

Why It’s Hard to Get Hired Despite Glowing Jobs Reports

Why It’s Hard to Get Hired Despite Glowing Jobs Reports | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
The monthly jobs report out Friday will probably look great, if recent months are any indication. Yet plenty of workers have rarely, if ever, felt more stuck.

I hear from a lot of white-collar workers on the job hunt who say it’s much harder to get hired than the unemployment numbers make it sound. They complain about hiring managers who ghost them and draw out the interview process. They say job listings linger on companies’ career pages and never get filled. Or get reposted repeatedly.

AI-Powered Staffing: Balancing Innovation With Values

AI-Powered Staffing: Balancing Innovation With Values | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it

AI can’t easily quantify these qualities, and algorithms can overlook them, as they prioritize measurable metrics over intangibles. The quality of one’s work is something AI struggles with heavily. Have you used AI to generate imagery from scratch? If you have, you’ll understand why quality matters so much. AI misses the mark when it comes to understanding context, fine details and intangibles.  Consider the role of emotional intelligence in a customer-facing role.

Clearly a very complicated -- and current issue!

Ghost Jobs: What They Are & Why They're Hurting Job Seekers | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
A "ghost job" is a job that isn't real. It's a job for a company that isn't actually hiring, or at least hiring for the role advertised. More than 1,000 hiring managers were surveyed, and 27% of them admitted that they've left these jobs up for over four months, never intending to fill them.

New phenomena?  Sort of!  Companies used to run "blind ads" in newspapers to accomplish some of the same things.

What HR needs to do before dropping college degree requirements

What HR needs to do before dropping college degree requirements | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
“What happens in all too many cases is that the CEO stands up in a public forum and makes a big pronouncement that degrees won’t be required. The organization snaps to attention to do what the CEO wants. Then, 12 months later, the CEO’s attention is on the next priority and nobody is paying attention to this anymore,” Sigelman explains. “The firm relapses because it never actually changed its hiring processes.”
