I worked for a company that did some layoffs of some good people. They're capable, but their bullet points don't match many jobs .... so they're looking for and endlessly long time.
These are great people more than capable of learning. At their previous jobs as a team they did more work than teams 3x their size.
I know a few places that turned them down in favor of folks who matched the bullet points... but not the job.
It's difficult to watch as I see news of places "desperate to find workers"... but refusing to hire good people.
