6. Why do we do that? Who can find our data useful?
From the employer's perspective: bigger demand for
candidates = salaries and/or benefit packages go up.
The "post and pray" approach might not work. On the
other hand, more candidates, more choice, more
negotiation flexibility.
From the candidate's perspective: bigger demand
= "less effort" put into job search (less time, more space
to negotiate salary).

21. Always take into consideration the supply of (unemployment rates)
and demand for candidates (available job ads), to decide which
option will work the best to attract talent:
post & pray
active sourcing using Social Media, incl. LinkedIn
hiring a recruitment agency
(active) employer branding, incl. definition of candidate persona
So what does that mean?
Employer perspective
22. Taking into consideration the supply of and demand for candidates
(in other words: how many candidates compete for the same role):
set a precise career / job search goal
position yourself well as a candidate
have two CVs: one for humans, one for ATS
prepare your LinkedIn profile: for humans, for the algorithm
generate interest through all four channels on the job market
So what does that mean?
