wrote about the incoming CEO of Twitter, “[Nine] out of 10 recruiters would have rejected Parag Agrawal's profile because of the gaps in his career and frequent job switches. If Twitter HR had done the same 10 years ago, they would have lost on a gem of a talent who has become their new CEO. I was shocked after looking at his profile because I may have been amongst those [nine] recruiters too.
Even though we are in the midst of the Great Resignation and a hard-fought war for talent, companies continue to be ridiculously picky over job applicants. You’d think that human resources professionals and hiring managers would be open-minded with respect to candidates, during this tight job market. It would be reasonable to believe that a business-savvy supervisor would cast aside too many requirements that serve as a barrier to entry, so that they can bring a person on board quickly.
When companies elongate the interview process and demand too much of applicants, it causes a cascade of problems for the organization and its people. When interviews last forever, requiring three to 10-plus interviews that take place over the course of up to six months, the job hunter formulates a bad opinion of the firm and will likely pull out of consideration.
The remaining employees in the group start feeling put upon. They’re pressured to pick up all the slack from the person who resigned. As weeks go by without anyone new brought aboard to help with the workload, the remaining may believe that there could be some serious issues as to why they are not finding a replacement. If this takes too long, they’ll say that they are being taken advantage of or maybe the company is going through financial difficulties and can’t afford to hire new employees.
One of the things that hiring managers and HR people don’t like is an applicant that has gaps on their résumé. They tend to rudely question why the person switched jobs so often. The folks involved with the interviewing process will presume that there may be a problem with the applicant, as they can’t keep a job for an extended period of time, and wonder why it's taking them awhile to find a new position.
