The problem is they have such incredibly high (or ridiculous) expectations Often, a job description will consist of skills that are actually several different jobs. It’s as if a nurse would be expected to perform surgery, do administrative work, lab work, and oh, yes, nursing.

Any hiring Mgr. that states they cannot find worthy people to employ during the time of an “Employer Market” is the one not worthy of the position they hold.

“Blackberry employees”. At first, I thought you were going to mention the use of our blackberry phones for work. Clever! Right know, I am doing my BTS hiring process and its true,there are lots of blackberries to pick from. At the same time, your article makes a great point on understanding where good employees came from. I was able to get great canidates just by checking the blackberry patch again. Opps, there goes another work e-mail on my blackberry. Thanks!

As I look around the world business and see all the retrenchments and lay-offs and then also see all the job offers on LinkedIn and other media I can only come to the conclusion that it is all a shame to placate the still employed that have to do 3 peoples work in that help is coming. With the unions today a company cannot be seen to be laying people off and retrenching and then also employing new staff.
So many companies are being untruthful and they all sit on the fence to see how far they can drive their few employees before they crack or leave of their own and then no doubt nepotism will step in.

I talk with some HR folks at companies that seem to be tired of seeing so many applications and then say it’s because no one fits. I think they are using a false template for their positions within the companies.

When companies accept mediocrity and complacency as their standard then they will never enjoy the fruits of success.

What drives me crazy is these same people are complaining about their staffs and how this one and that are not producing. With a glut of great unemployed employees out there, why aren’t companies upgrading their staffs? Are we that afraid of change? Great question. The answer is management is not proactive and accepts the status quo. It is easier to complain than it is to do something about it.

Well when companies refuse to even consider hiring you if you are unemployed it’s no wonder they are unable to find good employees.
It is a shameful practice and one that I myself will not reward a company who takes part in this practice. I will not give them my business and we should all do the same.
