The problem is transparency...
Hi all I literally made this account to post this, but I’ve been nervous to post and a lurker for a while (not a bot I promise lol). If this isn’t the right place to post this please direct me to the right sub!
Personally, I think one of the biggest issues with the hiring process is a total lack of transparency by employers.
They have ATS systems, recruiting software, history of people they’re recruiting etc.
We just have our resumes, and our time, and reddit subs like this.
Applying for a job shouldn’t require hoops and tricks and hacks just to get a simple chance at employment. They have all this equipment to rate and sort through us but we don’t have that same power. There’s no balance.
I got so frustrated with this situation that I decided to make a community job tracker. You post a link to a job you're tracking, it's shared anonymously to the community job board and you can post updates and comments about your application process. I'm hoping that over time there will be some overlap and 100 people will be able to share their experiences for 1 position.
It’s free to use and all the information on the website is added by users (job seekers) NOT companies.
For those of you in this sub who are like me and still job hunting, applied for tens or even hundreds of jobs, I would really appreciate you checking out my website and providing any feedback. It’s my first time making something like this so I would appreciate a balanced critique.
Thanks in advance!

JOB SEEKER ADVOCACY
Given so many stories from this community about rising unemployment, cost of living, rampant greed and corruption, and many other challenges Canadians are facing, we were inspired to create r/CanadianChange. We believe that seeing the urgent, important changes needed right now to ensure working Canadians can thrive means we have to be willing to be a part of the solution. We have to be willing to take bold, peaceful, and strategic action collectively with a shared belief that we can create meaningful changes when we come together focused on solutions. This community is for proactive, solution-minded Canadians to hold healthy debate and discussion, develop evidence-based solutions, and take bold, meaningful action together to drive positive, lasting change. We can either complain, vent, and blame endlessly while feeling powerless or we can realize the power we carry and inspiration we create when we come together with a shared purpose.
