What’s the best way to find high-paying remote jobs featured image

The demand for remote, high-paying jobs is skyrocketing.

What to expect from a skills assessment test featured image

10 things you must research before applying for a job featured image

Getting a good job in today’s economic climate is no mean feat. We get it: it feels easier to play the numbers game – send out as many applications as possible in the hopes of landing something – anything.  But here's the catch: rushing into applications without proper research could be a huge waste of time.

WHAT TO INCLUDE – AND NOT TO INCLUDE – ON YOUR NEXT JOB APPLICATION featured image

Featured image for ghosted after interviews? How to bounce back

Being ghosted after interviewing feels terrible, whether you’re a candidate or an employer. However, it’s depressingly common. An Indeed survey claims employers saw a 77% increase in job ghosting between 2022 and 2023. On the flip side, Greenhouse reports that 75% of candidates have experienced recruiter ghosting at least once. Ghosting after an interview is a symptom of a broken hiring process. It drives up recruitment costs, tarnishes company reputations, and leaves applicants feeling unworthy

Ghosted after interviews? How to bounce back

Good recruiters know that hiring for only skills and experience isn’t enough. You must consider candidates’ core traits and attributes to get a complete picture of their suitability for a role.  Otherwise, you could, for example, hire an experienced developer as a team lead, only to find out they lack empathy and prefer working alone. This kind of mis-hiring can lower productivity, damage team morale, and cost you time and money in re-hiring and replacing employees.  The 16 Personalities test is
