How to make applying for jobs less painful

Hiring is broken for both job seekers and companies, with 75 percent of applicants never hearing back and nearly half of new hires gone within a year. Relying on resumés overlooks people's potential, especially as jobs evolve faster than traditional qualifications can keep up. New technology uses neuroscience-based, multimeasure tests and fair algorithms to match people to jobs by their real strengths, not old credentials. This approach aims to create a more equitable, effective hiring process that values deeper human traits.
