System Error Job Seekers Employers dont really want to hire Why
should I get paid less for doing the same work? Where do I apply? I
apply and apply, with no response Employers have no loyalty
Employers Drugs Not showing up on time No good applicants Just
imagine what they could make $_____ in a year if they just stick
with it Job seekers have no loyalty Many job seekers once they
apply for jobs at a company will not apply again at a later date.
They often assume that the company always keeps their
application/resume on file. Without communication to those who are
not selected, the odds of them applying for another job at the same
company are limited. 8 8

& detours can a company make, before a candidate gives up on
your company and seeks work elsewhere? It is human nature to take
the easy path. If your application system is unnecessarily
complicated, job seekers will quit prior to completing the process.
What is an intentional barrier vs. unintentional? 12

General Labor, Entry-Level 2. Reduce Hiring Process Time (3 weeks
is already too long) 3. Make a one-on-one ask for good employees if
they want to go back to school to learn needed skilled positions.
4. Take 10 Production Employees Ask them how do you get a job for
your company compare to reality Have them apply (if 8 out of 10
dont make it through to interviewsfix it.)
