“Every candidate on the job market is looking for the perfect position — and that’s harder than it sounds. Looking for a job is a full-time job of its own. Job seekers head into the market every single day to ensure they’ll get the role they truly desire. Even though it’s a very tiring and time-consuming process, candidates put up with it because they know they will be rewarded in the end. On the flip side, employers are doing a very similar thing: They’re looking at the talent market every day in search of the perfect candidate, the person who can fulfill the duties of their open role with limited supervision, minimal training, and great results. Employers and recruiters constantly tweak their job descriptions, messaging tactics, and outreach efforts to find the optimal way to engage and attract that individual who will be the perfect fit for the company and its culture.”
