"In today's job market, pursuing the next step can feel less like finding the right fit and growing your career, and more like rolling the dice or playing poker. Candidates bluff with polished resumes, employers test the market with jobs they may not fill and both sides keep cards close to the vest. A new survey from Kelly reveals how much hiring plays out this way."
"Despite frequent miscommunication, the survey found job seekers and hiring managers agree on some parts of the process. One of those areas is timing. Just over half of candidates and managers say three days is the right amount of time to decide on a job offer, long enough to review details, discuss with family or weigh other options, but quick enough to show genuine interest. Another point of agreement is on artificial intelligence."
Candidates often apply for roles despite lacking every listed qualification, and many hiring managers view such stretch applications as acceptable. Managers sometimes post jobs without intention to fill them while both candidates and employers use AI and other tools in hiring. Both sides often withhold information, creating opaque dynamics and strategic signaling. Over half of candidates and managers consider three days an appropriate window to decide on an offer. Majority of job seekers and managers consider using AI to improve resumes ethical, and many managers use AI-detection tools to screen applications.
