The idea behind sharing the configuration of I-Phone 14 is to suggest that while we the configuration of our smartphones is being upgraded every year, our Recruitment Process is still broken. The limitation of the Recruitment Process stops individuals to apply to the Jobs of their choice and do their best work. A great man once said “Life is too short to do mediocre work”, yet our average Recruitment Process sometimes filters out potential geniuses who have the potential of turning around businesses.

Here are some stories that amplify why sometimes good people are left behind in the Recruitment Process. It also outlines some easy to implement solution in the Recruitment Industry that would not only allow these passionate individuals to pursue a career of choice but also give the hiring companies the fire-power they need.
