1>1. There’s too much noise in the market, making it hard to grab candidates’ attention?.
Great candidates are often fielding multiple offers at once

“I think that the hardest problem recruiters face is dealing with clients who don't understand that search is a collaborative process… Especially in very technical fields, some hiring managers tend to have the opinion that it isn't worth their time to share information or feedback with recruiters (‘because they won't understand’). This is a major problem, because without that feedback, results will necessarily be nil.”

7. There aren’t enough hours in the day?
“I could come into work and have hundreds of emails. Not even exaggerating. On average, 200 people apply to a posted job so if I have 10 of them, that could be 2,000 resumes/emails/applications I need to go through.”
