Employers will lose both fronts in my view whether they rely on a human talent software or on a real human to review job applications. Human Resources should do a better job in establishing the core requirements for each position that is advertised. These core requirements must be job-specific to help candidates decide if they want to apply or not. Within each position description, there are essential duties and non-essential duties. Essential duties matter as they will help with recruitment of the right candidates for the right position. Essential duties, position descriptions, job announcements all are interconnected.
Your point is well-made, Phuong Le!
I confess I’m not easily impressed — what with being a 23-year Navy vet (broadcaster, photojournalist and public affairs specialist), a 13-year federal civilian (public affairs specialist and writer-editor), and having four-plus years under my belt as a contractor — but govloop is truly amazing! I’ll certainly “use” this superb resource to learn and share. Give me a few days to post a profile and photo (a photo sutable for framing, scaring terrorists and cyberhackers, and warding off diseases!) A GREAT SITE! Kudos to those who manage this site . . .
