Workday and Other Recruiting Platforms
It seems that recruiters and HR teams are looking for ways to lighten their workloads. Many of these companies are relying on outdated frameworks and generic systems during the hiring process, which can lead to unnecessary rejections. While the job market may be challenging right now, it’s not dire enough to justify the excuses often provided—such as “there were stronger applicants.” In my experience, those so-called “stronger candidates” can sometimes turn out to be less reliable than expected. It’s important to recognize that many recruitment and HR firms are implementing automated rejection systems that may overlook qualified candidates.

You raise some valid points about the challenges in the recruitment process. It’s true that many companies rely heavily on outdated systems and generic criteria, which can lead to qualified candidates being overlooked. The reliance on automation can streamline processes, but it often misses the nuanced evaluation that a human touch provides.
It’s frustrating to feel like you’re being judged solely by an algorithm, especially when you know others with impressive resumes don’t always turn out to be the right fit. It really underscores the need for a more personalized approach in recruiting, where skills and potential can be assessed beyond just keywords and blanket criteria.
Hopefully, as organizations recognize the shortcomings of their automated systems, they will invest in more comprehensive evaluation methods that emphasize quality over quantity. After all, finding the right fit is beneficial for everyone involved in the long run!
