It feels like recruiters and HR have wedged themselves into being an untouchable block between candidates and hiring managers. Those in the wedge have no incentives for actually connecting candidates to the needs of the employer so the wedge keeps getting larger and stronger. Companies are too scared of their HR departments to stand up to them. They're basically commissars that have a MAD pact with the company should anyone try to remove them. Recruiters mostly exist to make things easier on HR though they will claim its to ensure employment equity policies are followed and the reduce the burden on hiring managers. But it's mostly so HR has less to do in their section of the wedge. We see the frustration on the part of candidates but hiring managers are pulling their hair out too. In many cases, they actually have a strong candidate they've worked with before that is fully qualified, but everyone now must go through the HR/Recruiter obstacle course without exception. Good matches between position and candidate are tossed aside by those in the wedge and there's nothing those at either end of the pipeline can do about it. |

And yeah, it's due to government protection and monopoly power. Some country will eventually decide to work for its people and will become a hugely prosperous place out of nowhere, taking everyone by surprise. But everyone else will keep hearing that "it can't work that way here".
