Does this hiring process look familiar? We wanted to highlight how crazy getting a job can be, especially at most big companies.  Most candidates have a similar experience to our fictional friend Jim. Even with great advances in technology, the hiring process hasn’t gotten any better. It would be easy to say that it’s worse than ever.

With millions of Americans out of work or underemployed, this is a big issue. We don’t mean to suggest any particular solution to the problem, but wanted to get you thinking about how you recruit and hire. Can you think of ways to do it better?
