Every year, we have seen and hear about the challenges of unemployment, talent wastage, company layoffs, unemployment uncertainty, applying to thousands of jobs and rarely get a response, career change difficulties, career growth, bias in hiring, questionable recruitment practices like removing a candidate’s name to supposedly reduce bias, automated ATS systems that may overlook good candidates or exclude them from the hiring process, algorithm-based recruitment that unfairly disadvantage candidates based on analysing human qualities, paper CVs/resumes that lack verification and transparency with exaggerations or even lie about qualifications or experience, and more.
And that’s where we are today.
