The candidates don’t meet the DEI screening criteria.
The open jobs are blue-collar and/or service industry. There has been a White-collar Recession on for over a year but it gets no attention since it's mainly a white-skin recession as well.
Agree, race should not be part of the hiring decisions at all.
The talent pool from the hiring locations and the unwillingness of people relocating to hub cities.
You know, I really don't think companies should look at any racial/ethnic factors into the hiring consideration. That information should not be included in any checkboxes in the first place. Why can't you guys just hire people based on their merit rather than the race?

How else are corporations supposed to argue they can't find qualified applicants and therefore need to hire more H1Bs?
There are numerous job openings, but the pool of applicants is quite extensive.
You have individuals who are currently unemployed, those seeking a career change, individuals looking to secure a second job, those aiming to relocate to the US, and people who are applying for various reasons.
In this competitive landscape, your resume must stand out among all these applicants to be considered. Typically, recruiters select only 5-10 resumes for managers to review, making it a numbers game unless you have connections within the organization. Utilizing LinkedIn can be instrumental in building these connections and gaining insights into both the available positions and the companies themselves.
Moreover, the job market has evolved since the onset of COVID-19, with employers gaining more leverage.
They now tend to be more selective, often requiring specific experience, offering lower salaries, and taking their time in the hiring process.
Weird times indeed.
