Be A Beacon of Light Instead of Another Black Hole

As the national employment numbers continue to improve, job seekers across the country unfortunately still express frustration over the lack of communication in the interview process by hiring managers and companies. The “black hole” has been a commonly used term by candidates to describe the pit in which organizations seemingly hold all information related to the interview and hiring process. The black hole seemed to grow enormously during the Great Recession, frustrating candidates and recruiters alike. Today, precious informational nuggets like “feedback,” “updates,” and “next steps” seem to be imprisoned by many hiring companies, seldom being released to see the light of day.
