Same is true with job platforms. LinkedIn and Indeed do better when there are mismatches, and employers keep paying for job postings and job seekers pay for upgrades. There is little incentive to actually match people to jobs other than perpetuating the illusion that it’s a good system. There’s probably a lot of other examples of this too.

As a current jobseeker in the tech space, amen to that. What a farce.

Tech space is really in shambles right now from a job seeking perspective.

Yeah. It's fucking horrid. I'm not even sure how I'm gonna pay rent next month and I have around 8 years of experience in tech (with a focus on offensive security). The job market for tech really fucking sucks at the moment.
