Job Recruiting Is Getting More Like Tinder Every Day

According to a study conducted by Indeed.com, almost a third of job candidates ages 18-24 (and almost a fifth of older candidates) ghosted a potential employer because "the hiring process was too slow or too long."

Job candidates know that a long wait means you don't have your act together.

If your company is a lousy place to work, disgruntled employees are going to anonymously grouse about you online.

Back in the day, a company could hide a toxic culture behind an inspirational mission statement. Today not so much.

Since a candidate might not be entirely serious at first, if that candidate looks interesting, you arrange a telephone conversation like right now, so you can "sell" the candidate on working for you.

Maybe getting every stakeholder on board made sense when a job offer entailed lifetime employment.

Today job hopping is the norm, so there's less at stake.

This, of course, is the "challenging" step because, sad to say, once a company has a toxic culture it's almost impossible to change it for the better.
