You are so right! I've worked in HR teams and the recruiters get overwhelmed with hundreds of applicants for every job. Sometimes, after all that work (by applicants and recruiters) the job gets pulled or changed.

And it's not just the college grads that are finding job searching hard. My friend has experience in IT, Business Development, Data Management, Data Governance plus all sorts of things I can't remember the names for. You'd think he'd be snapped up, but no. His experience is too broad, the recruiters don't know where to place him.

I just hope the job market picks up soon.

"recruiters don't know where to place him" this is so real! Companies are built go put people in boxes so they can streamline. When you're a bit of everything maybe entrepreneurship is not a bad route
