Arguing against this; the system doesn't work fine for the companies either. They're wasting huge amounts of capital on candidates that they're distrustful of as they ultimately leap away anyways for slightly higher returns, repeating the cycle. This leads into a whole lot of internal issues as well.

The system is broken. It's just that companies can weather the storm.

Also job searching on its own is broken even when you ignore the market favouring the employer, as online submissions are still disastrous from companies asking invasive questions, to demanding LinkedIn profiles so they can apply through there instead of their own network, to automatic resume apps most companies rely on not even doing their basic job properly, to forcing companies to have to invent weird ways to verify the person who is applying is even a person at all. It's all a huge mess nobody wants to tackle because again, companies can weather it fine, and eventually everyone gets a job somewhere that keeps them too busy to care.
