I used to roll my eyes internally while sitting in meetings when co-workers asked for more transparency and management responded with a rush of more information instead of recognising the symptom, identifying the root cause – the real concern – and addressing it directly.
I would bet money that the demand for more transparency correlates to when the company isn’t doing well or there’s too much change
This pattern isn’t unique to companies internally. We’re seeing the same thing in today’s job market, where jobseekers and recruiters alike are demanding more transparency, such as:
Jobseeker:
- What is the salary range for this role?
- Have you looked at my application yet?
- Why did you reject my application?
- Are you still accepting new applications?
Recruiter:
- Is the right talent currently available in the market to do this role?
- Can we afford the best applicant?
- Are applicants being truthful?
Here at inkscroll we are bringing light to that dark hole. We can’t do it alone, we need both jobseekers and recruiters to drive real change. Together, we can create a truly transparent job market. Join us in making that vision a reality!
