## Resource

Todays Guest is Doug Berg from https://match2.com/https://match2.com/. The recruiting industry is broken. Companies have built one-sided systems that leave candidates frustrated and in the dark. One candidate applied to 100 jobs and heard back from only 44. The other 56 companies ghosted them completely. Here's what's worse: 80% of candidates who are a great fit for jobs don't even apply. Why? Because they know they'll never hear back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
