Why Hiring Isn't Getting Easier: The Hidden Challenges Recruiters Face with Candidates Today

BANGALORE, India - July 11, 2025 - PRLog -- In today's dynamic and fast-evolving job market, the recruitment process is under more pressure than ever. SilverPeople, Asia's Leading People Resource Company, highlights the growing complexities recruiters face when hiring candidates across industries like EdTech, Fintech, E-commerce, and Digital Retail.

Despite a high volume of applicants, recruiters are struggling with:

• Lack of job readiness: Many candidates fail to meet core skill requirements despite polished resumes.
• Ghosting: Candidates increasingly drop out mid-process or vanish after offer rollouts.
• Mismatch in expectations: Unrealistic salary demands and disconnect between job role and candidate goals hinder conversions.
• Cultural misfit: Identifying alignment with company values remains a challenge, especially in remote or hybrid settings.
• Offer shopping: Top talent often juggles multiple offers, reducing closing rates and increasing time-to-hire.

"Recruiters are no longer just gatekeepers—they're negotiators, brand ambassadors, and candidate experience managers all rolled into one," says Pallavi Goyal, VP of Operations at SilverPeople. "What we're seeing is not a talent shortage, but a fit and expectation mismatch."

To address these issues, SilverPeople leverages its proprietary FAT Hiring Methodology* (Fit, Alignment, Timeline) to identify candidates who not only meet technical requirements but are also motivated, aligned, and ready to grow with the company.

As companies prepare for a skills-first future, addressing these pain points will be critical to hiring success in 2025 and beyond.
