The Hiring Gap Theory

My posts are not reaching as much as I expected. The content is mostly written by me, with AI just helping to enhance the grammar and readability. Even though I think the content is good (at least according to me), it isn't reaching the audience I expected.

So I thought, let's just make it raw and keep it simple.

Let's talk about the Hiring Gap Theory. (Yeah, it's a theory I came up with.)

The Gap

We always see this situation: so many candidates are looking for jobs, and so many companies are looking for candidates.

If both exist, why isn't it matching? One side has people, the other side has openings... so what's the issue?

I think the issue is the gap.

Companies are not getting the right candidates. Candidates are not getting into the right companies that align with their skills — or at least the skills they show on their resumes.

How Companies Respond

Because of this gap, companies try different solutions.

Some hire employees on the bench and train them even before they're needed, so they can replace someone if they leave or when a new requirement comes.

Some companies offer internships and then hire the best performers. (I'm not talking about companies that misuse interns just to get work done.)

What Candidates Can Do

So what can candidates do?

Showcase every skill you have. Don't keep your skills hidden. Make them visible.

Look at job vacancies, understand what skills they require, learn the ones that are related to what you already know, improve yourself, and then apply.

It's definitely not easy, but I think it increases the chance of closing the hiring gap.

What do you think? Does this theory make sense, or am I missing something?
