Sarah is an exceptional data processor with years of experience, a keen eye for trends, and a passion for problem-solving. But she never made it past the application stage at multiple companies. 

Not because she wasn’t qualified. Not because she wasn’t eager to work. 
Because the hiring process itself pushed her out before she even had a chance.

  • A clunky application portal timed her out mid-application.
  • A job description overloaded with jargon left her confused about whether she was even a good fit.
  • A flawed resume-filtering system unfairly scored and ranked her resume without considering her transferable skills.

 

So Sarah gave up, frustrated, feeling helpless… and she’s not alone. 

Every day, countless highly skilled, eager professionals from all walks-of-life are filtered out by outdated hiring systems. Not because they lack talent, but because the process itself works against them. 

If you are wondering why your company is struggling to attract skilled and loyal talent, the issue might be the barriers you didn’t know existed. 

The Hidden Hiring Barriers Costing You Talent

Many companies believe they have an open, fair hiring process. But the reality? Most hiring systems contain invisible obstacles that prevent great candidates from applying, engaging, and ultimately working for your company.

Common Hiring Barriers That Push Talent Away

🚫 Long, rigid job applications – Research shows that 60% of candidates abandon applications that take more than 15 minutes to complete. If your process is tedious, people will walk away before finishing. 

🚫 Overly complex job descriptions – Buzzwords like "ninja," "rockstar," or “self-starter” alienate job seekers who may be highly capable but not fluent in corporate jargon. 

🚫 "Must-have" requirements that aren’t actually must-haves – Does the role really require a four-year degree? Do you actually need ten years of experience? Companies that rethink outdated requirements widen their talent pool and find unexpected top performers. 

🚫 Unclear support options – If a candidate with a disability or from a marginalized community doesn’t know whether your company supports accommodations, they might not even apply. 

🚫 Bias in resume screening – Hiring software often filters out non-traditional career paths, accidentally excluding talented candidates who don’t fit a narrow mold.

The Negative Business Impact of These Barriers

These hidden obstacles aren’t only limiting candidate engagement. They are hurting your business by: 

Shrinking your candidate pool = meaning longer hiring cycles and reduced productivity. 

Lowering workforce innovation = the creativity candidates possess is going to your competition. 

Costing you money = turnover and rehiring are expensive. 

💡 Fact: Companies that focus on inclusive hiring see 35% higher financial performance compared to those that don’t. (McKinsey & Co.)
So the question isn’t whether removing barriers helps. 
The question is: Are you ready to fix what’s holding you back?

Build a Stronger Workforce

Top talent want to work for your company. But they won’t fight through a broken system to prove it. 

Every day that hiring barriers remain in place, companies lose out on game-changing employees.
