Companies are rethinking their habits in order to find the future employees they desperately need. In certain sectors, such as the hotel and restaurant industry, which are severely understaffed, the sacred resume is no longer mandatory. According to a very recent survey by Indeed, 86% of recruiters are willing to accept a candidate who does not possess all the skills required for the position, but who meets other criteria.

Therefore, experts recommend that job candidates be bold and show during the interview that they have the necessary soft skills, are motivated, and have the will to train. 54% of the respondents are aware that the vacancy can be given to an applicant who lies about his background and experience if he knows how to highlight his added value. 75% of recruits are willing to lower their requirements in terms of educational level and school type. 23% and 22%, respectively, agree to compromise job-specific skills or language skills.

This development should benefit extraordinary candidates, who are often far removed from the world of work, including the young and the elderly. When writing an ad, 41% of HR managers plan to be encouraged to work. This is a unique integration opportunity for them.
