The jobseeker survey report

Jobseekers are frustrated. Here are the top pain points.

Shifts in work have represented some beneficial outcomes, like hybrid work models, but they’ve also brought to light additional challenges in the job seeking process. The truth is, jobseekers are frustrated. They don’t like being ghosted — meaning the employer stops responding entirely with no explanation. They believe job ads should be more transparent, and want a better curated experience, a top place for society career centers to shine. Salary-related issues are the single most frustrating aspect of job searches, followed by communication, and applications.
