Скачать или смотреть Part 1 - The Map is the Problem: Why the Online Hiring Market is in Crisis

The online hiring market isn't just inefficient—it's broken by design. In this eye-opening post I argue that our current economic maps are completely wrong, and that platforms are profiting from the very chaos they claim to solve.

Here's the truth you can't unsee:

The Unsolvable Crisis: While platform profits have skyrocketed (LinkedIn's revenue has quintupled since 2015), hiring outcomes have collapsed. The data shows employers now post far more jobs to achieve the same hires.

Tapped Inventory: The problem isn't a "bug" but a profitable "feature." When platforms are incentivized to sell engagement and "activity" instead of successful matches, they treat job seekers not as "untapped talent" but as "profitable human energy inventory."

It Was Never You: This isn't the fault of job seekers, recruiters, or employers. We are all reacting logically to an outdated script, a flawed mental model of how the market actually works.

A New Map is Needed: The solution isn't better drivers, but a better map. The Job Applicant Perspective (TJAP) adds the missing ground-level data to help everyone finally navigate this broken system.

Read the full post for the complete argument and to learn how we can start building a new, more truthful map for the future of work.
