Challenges in Job Matching
Finding a job that aligns with a job seeker's skill set can be difficult, primarily due to a skills gap. Many applicants possess skills that do not match the specific requirements outlined by employers, often stemming from rapid technological advancements and changing industry demands. Recruitment processes can also be inefficient, characterized by delayed responses and lengthy applications that deter candidates from completing their applications.
