BURNED BY EMPLOYERS?

It's been an "employer's market" over the past few years. With job applicants glutting the market, employers have been overwhelmed with massive "stacks" of applications. They haven't had time to respond to all of them, even the ones they liked. This has caused bad feelings among job candidates - they don't understand why they have to use good manners while employers can get away with being rude.

Well, the worm has turned! Suddenly, certain companies are experiencing talent shortages and are having a difficult time finding qualified candidates. However, many of these same companies don't "get it" that they need to improve their manners. Job applicants are moving into the driver's seat. It's way past time for companies to start courting them.

I found an interesting article that explores this "flip" in employer-employee dynamics. You might even want to sign up to receive these free weekly Herman Trend Alerts.
