2 recruiters have a message for frustrated job seekers: It's not your fault
Briefly

The job market presents significant challenges for seekers, primarily due to increased competition and cautious employer hiring. Analysts indicate that a higher volume of applicants, limited hiring resources, and certain industries lagging in demand contribute to this tough market landscape. Experts emphasize that an individual’s lack of success isn't necessarily a reflection of their ability, but rather a response to broader market dynamics. While some sectors like healthcare experience more robust hiring, many candidates will find it difficult to secure positions in other areas.
"We're in a situation where it is harder for people to find a new job because the balance of power has shifted back toward employers," Daniel Zhao, lead economist at Glassdoor, explained. He pointed out that the market has become more competitive and hiring processes are slower, resembling the job market conditions of the 2010s.
Kathleen Nolan, a technical recruiter, stated in a recent LinkedIn post that it’s crucial to reassure job seekers that the challenges they face are due to the market, not their own failings. She emphasized that companies are re-evaluating their hiring needs and only filling roles that are truly essential.
