Technology has taken the in-built problems of recruitment - employers not understanding the roles they need or the types of people who succeed in them, employers misrepresenting themselves, candidates misrepresenting themselves intentionally or unintentionally - and supercharged them.

I see a lot of issues at the start of the process - correctly scoping the role and the requirements for a candidate to be successful in it and then converting that into a job ad. Huge opportunities for improvement here. BTW I found this research very interesting: https://www.linkedin.com/business/talent/blog/talent-acquisition/job-description-heatmap
