are bitching constantly about a skills "shortage," but the cynic can also claim these same outfits want an excuse to import cheap labor.
These people are always predictable. It's all about cost shifting with them.
Make sure to watch the Capelli interview. A lot of screening is done with software, with dismal results for both employers and would-be applicants.
As he notes, the problem in hiring after talking with hiring managers isn't with the education of the applicants, it's with the "work experience." Companies simply don't want to do a goddamned thing with OJT (on-the-job training).
There are OJT programs available for job seekers to approach employers, and the employers get a reimbursement for hiring these people. Many do take advantage of these programs. However, I don't think these would apply to job seekers who are in professional or managerial fields.
