This isn't a critique of any individual or organization, but rather an observation of the "weird patterns" that have become commonplace:</p> <ul> <li>The unintentional "ghosting" that occurs despite everyone's best intentions.</li> <li>The structural irony of 90-day notice periods in an "immediate-joiner" market.</li> <li>The disconnect that can arise during final negotiations after weeks of mutual effort.</li> </ul> <p>I believe that whether we are candidates, HR professionals, or technical leads, we all seek transparency, respect, and a process that values everyone's time.</p> <p>I've compiled some thoughts on how we might bridge these gaps. While I don't have all the answers, I hope these reflections can spark a meaningful conversation within our community.</p> <p>You can read the full article here: <a href="https://lnkd.in/dwv9qYWk" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lnkd.in/dwv9qYWk</a></p> <h1> WorkCulture #Hiring #Professionalism #CareerGrowth #CommunityReflections #SoftwareDevelopment #PuneTech </h1> hiring talentacuisition careerdevelopment workculture
