To the caption: Wholeheartedly. I have to deal with upper management often and the quality recently is lacking. No critical thinking whatsoever.

As it turns out, it isn’t just external factors that have made recruitment a pain. Believe it or not, the hiring process is now much longer and way more complicated than it was a decade ago. What used to take an average of 22 days now takes a whopping 60 to 90 days, even with major technological advancements in the early screening phase.

If You Are The Daughter Of The CEO, You Get To Be Vp Right Out Of College

The rest of the post: "Locally, we have a hospital called MercyHealth. The CEO Javon Bea makes like 16+ million a year, one of the most well played CEOs in America. He makes more than Mayo Clinic's CEO. If you google him, you'll see he recently closed down a hospital he promised he wouldn't. And the hospital was located in the poorest neighborhood of Rockford IL. Above is nepotism at the best. His daughter graduates college in 2009 and lands a VP job right off the bat. She makes almost 1/2 million."
Gone are the days when interviews used to be simple 15-30 minute conversations with just one hiring manager sitting across from you. Now, interviews span multiple stages, involve hordes of people, and take longer than ever before, resulting in immense stress and anxiety for both candidates and recruiters.
