Yes, I recall it being no fun, but unlike older professionals like myself, younger folks aren't going to know the experience of heading to the mall to fill out applications at the food court or dropping off their resume physically at local businesses. It's a totally different world, but there are different challenges. And I think most of us have anecdotally heard of job seekers being ghosted.

Well, we found that 27% of active job seekers have been ghosted in the past 12 months. That is, they were in contact with a hiring manager or recruiter at some point, and that person stopped responding. Furthermore, we found 41% of active job seekers applied for a job and never received any response, so their application wasn't even acknowledged.

While 78% of Americans think that technology has made looking for a job easier, just 64% think it's made getting hired easier. And, you know, that tracks. You don't have to leave your home to apply for a job now, right? So all else being equal, you can identify and apply to more. There's just a lower barrier to entry.

But this also means you might be more likely to apply to jobs when you're a little uncertain about whether it's actually a good fit for you. The issue is, it's made applying that much easier for everyone. So employers are handling way more applicants than ever, and you're likely in competition with more candidates than you would have been 10 or 20 years ago.

The effects of this could be as far-reaching as employers trying to manage the flow of applicants by filtering them, not responding to all of them, or completely dropping the ball on some of them. They may also make the application and interview process more difficult.

One thing that I think is worth mentioning in hopes some recruiters or employers might be listening is that job seekers pointed out some inconsistencies in job listings that could be preventing these employers from finding the right person. I mean, a better job match is good for all parties involved, but 14% of job seekers found discrepancies in posted salary ranges in the past 12 months.

13% found out during the interview process that the actual job duties were different from what was advertised. And 12% found out the job was a contract rather than full-time employment gig. So I think correcting on these things would smooth the process both for job seekers and the people hoping to hire them.
