The demand across STEM sectors continues to grow, yet many companies are asking the same question: Where are all the qualified candidates? We understand this struggle.

What single change do you believe would make the biggest immediate difference in securing qualified STEM professionals today? #STEMCareerInsights #STEMRecruitment #WeAreAirswift

Key word search algorithm based hiring is ruining recruiting in my opinion. Many talented and qualified people aren’t even being looked at because they didn’t fit the specific criteria by word searching resumes that were made by HR people who don’t actually have any clue what the specifics of the job require either. A lot of great candidates get filtered out before even being able to have a real life person see their resume and judge the merit of their abilities to move forward with an interview.

don’t agree, and who says it’s hard? Degree qualified is the minimum expected, everything else in no.1. is and should be considered afterwards, if you can’t do the sums, interpretation, correlation you're not STEM! And, completely over-looked the main omission, at what age are STEM candidates 'algorithmically discarded’, definitely over-55, maybe even 50 in MENA.

Start adding “willing to train the right candidate” to your job posting 🤷🏻♀️
