My Journey from Dead End Job to Success

[passit1]

I think the recruiting system is broken because it's a sorting out instead of a pulling in process. Basically they find reasons to not look at applicants that may not necessarily matter to the job. (am i the best person for the job because of taking 7 months worth of tests to get my degree or because I had 15 years of business experience that enabled me to pass those tests? ) This whittles down the amount of applicants to what recruiters think are the best for the position. In reality it just brings the number of applicants the recruiter needs to look at down to a manageable number. They don't understand they are choosing from what's left over.
A more effective way...instead of sorting out based on not meeting an arbitrary criteria, candidates should be pulled into the process based on proficiency at the most challenging aspects of the position, like strategic planning and measurable results.
