The 2024 State of Job Hunting report, recently released by Greenhouse, a leading hiring platform, paints a challenging picture of the current job market. Despite nearly half of US workers actively seeking new opportunities, a significant portion experiences heightened anxiety due to a broken hiring system –we’ll talk about it next with co-founder Jon Stross

“The data highlights a troubling reality— the job market has become more soul-crushing than ever. Candidates are trapped in a cycle of despair and have no idea what’s going on. Hiring feels like a black box. It’s become a battlefield that job seekers have to cross – employers ghosting candidates, fake, spam, and scam jobs— and AI is only exacerbating it all,” says Jon Stross, President and Co-founder of Greenhouse.
