Attention all hiring managers!
Modern hiring processes have become increasingly reliant on online forms and document submissions. However, this trend has created a significant disadvantage for workers in rural areas who may not have the resources or technical expertise to navigate this maze. As a result, they are often limited to relying on word of mouth or contractors for employment opportunities, limiting their range.
?
Unfortunately, a majority of the time these processes don’t even exist for blue-collar work, pushing job-seekers back to contractors, where they are more liable to exploitation.
?
It's time to make hiring processes more inclusive and equitable for everyone. Let's start by allowing blue-collar work seekers to apply for work through different means, while considering the unique needs of workers in rural areas and exploring ways to simplify the application process. This could involve offering alternative submission options or providing training and support to help candidates complete the necessary forms.

By working together to create a more inclusive hiring environment, we can help bridge the employment gap and ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to put food on the table.
