Co-founder and CEO of Mate academy Roman Apostol believes that the modern employer market in IT is imperfect, and working in it is quite difficult.
«The market is really tough these days, and the competition for entry into IT is high. It’s almost impossible to get in without a lot of effort. At the same time, the statement that it’s now an „employer’s market“ needs to be rethought. From the experience of our partnership team, which works with various companies, we can say that the labor market is currently extremely competitive for candidates. However, the hiring process is not easy for employers either,» he noted .
An employer’s market, according to Roman, means that many high-quality candidates come to a single vacancy, and a recruiter can carefully select the best ones. However, today the situation is a little different.
«There are vacancies, and there are also a lot of candidates. However, not all of them meet the requirements of a specific position. Some candidates are people who were fired from previous companies as the least productive. They are not always wanted to be hired. Recruiters have to review hundreds, and sometimes even more, resumes, spending a lot of time and resources on finding relevant specialists,» states Apostol.
In addition, according to him, the problem of soft skills remains relevant. «Perseverance, adequacy, socialization — all this often suffers in candidates who have worked or studied remotely for a long time,» the specialist states.
