The Dating Game of Job Hunting

Searching for a new job opportunity can be a lot like dating. The candidate is “playing the field,” trying to determine what opportunity is going to be the best match. The hiring manager is trying to “woo” the candidate by showing all the perceived benefits of stepping into this position and joining their team. Both parties often conduct research on one another, trying to gather insights on what it would really be like to engage in a full-blown working relationship.
