Great Jobs Still Open in Record-High Unemployment

Great jobs still open in record-high unemployment

The nation’s unemployment rate spiked to 10.2 percent for October 2009 – its highest level since April 1983. 

Despite this record high and the resulting millions of unemployed professionals seeking work across America, countless positions remain unfilled. Why? Because there are not enough candidates. At least not enough qualified candidates.

CNNMoney.com has reported that hiring managers are being inundated with resumes for open positions – but mostly from unqualified candidates from other industries who lack the skills and experience these jobs require. In some cases, good positions have remained vacant for months as hiring managers struggle to find the right employees – even in the face of the recession. You can find the story here.

But the right one is worth the wait

And the numbers prove it. When companies do hire new employees, statistics show that nearly two-thirds of hiring managers later regret their hiring decisions. It seems the feeling is somewhat mutual among many employees: almost half of new hires leave their jobs within the first year. You can find this story here.

Because many job seekers tend to submit their resumes for any and all positions, some for which they are not qualified, hiring managers spend the bulk of their time scouring resumes for a relevant candidate – often coming up with no one.  Clearly, a better hiring process would produce better results for both firms and candidates. You will find just that on OneWire.
