Tim Esse a top influential recruiter for Apple reblogged an Article by Jobsearchjedi.com written by Dylan Alford made me realize the world we live in. 
Today people have so many alternatives to look for a job, from online based recruitment sites like GulfTalent.com to head hunting agencies like Jivaro and Kershaw Leonard . Nevertheless the direct web-based recruitment platforms companies adopt like Sniperhire from HireSolutions. Where is it going all wrong, and why aren’t the right people being hired? It’s actually simple, recruitment is actually missing out the human element and chemistry recruiters actually need to make the right choice for their company or client. As Dylan mentioned in his post. Software phases you out based on programing. Basically you need to be a robot to be heard by a machine’s software algorithm. I ask every recruiter on earth. Would you hire a drop out who went to india for enlightenment, and experimented with LSD? That person also has an aggressive personality that is very assertive and totalitarian, but has carisma no one can match? They would immediately say “of course not!”, of course you wouldn’t because the machine and books told you not to hire a person like Steve Jobs.
This takes me to the question, are we now in a Matrix and we ask ourselves who is the Matrix? Then you ask yourself, am I a program that will fit or will I be Neo in order to get a step forward into consideration for a job. Companies should know that having a brand, means people vision themselves working there, strive to land the dream job and dream company to work for. I personally would like to hire a person who dreams to work for my company, than a person who is fit to work for my company. The dreamer is devoted to keeping the brand growing and is willing to put 1000 times the effort to grown and learn than a fit candidate that’s good on paper by does not chemically fit in my company. 40 years ago a company called Atari lead by Nolan Bushnell hired a man called Steve Jobs, who changed the world as we know it today, also keeping that culture of chemistry and passion, Atari made the people who later made Call of Duty.
The moral of the story here, people need to be more human when looking for people and making things happen for the company. Facebook in its human days, recruited people if they were cool and could code. YouTube was created by a person who use to work for Facebook. Creativity leads to creativity, business grow and humans genius flourish in environments meant to hold chemistry and the human side of work. The day you make a software source out your people know that those people are good, but they are not good for you.
