Affinity Search Partners’ Post

Can we talk about how strange the tech hiring market is right now? Companies are complaining they can't find talent, while qualified engineers are applying to dozens of roles and not hearing back. How does this happen? The truth is, most companies aren't struggling to find candidates. They're actually struggling to make decisions. There are too many stakeholders involved in the hiring process, the requirements are unclear, priorities keep shifting, and budget freezes are re-packaged as "we're still interviewing, we'll let you know." If you're job searching and getting ghosted after final rounds, it's most likely not you. It's organizational dysfunction and indecision. Keep moving until you find a company that knows what it needs and values what you bring.
