9. Even without a labor shortage, finding qualified people can be somewhat tricky

Websites like LinkedIn and Monster make it easy for anyone to apply for a job with a few clicks of a button. A company can post a job and end up getting dozens or hundreds of applications, many (most?) of whom aren't even remotely qualified for the role.

A lot of hiring managers will consider people with 60% or 80% of the skillset they need, but identifying immediate contributors and readily trainable people from people who probably shouldn't have applied can be somewhat frustrating experience for HR recruiters. That said, I also have to disclaim that my view is biased towards an IT perspective.
