Navigating the current job market

Catherine Brock - Recruiter - Metafora - Chicago, IL

What candidates are really looking for in our current job market?

What’s your perspective on Non- Competes in the industry? - 

Red flags in job descriptions/ why no one is applying for your role - low salary or no salary listed, a lengthy or vague job description, cliche slogans of “competitive compensation package! Work life balance! Must wear many hats”, too many required interview rounds,  no clear growth trajectory,  bad reviews on Indeed, Google or Glassdoor 

• Better to have:

• Link to a quick a video about “Why to work at X Company” - really gives people a sense of what they’re walking into

• Photos 

• Clear job description of responsibilities

• Employee testimonials

• Active Linkedin profiles of who you’ll be interviewing with
