5. From the employer's perspective: bigger demand for
candidates = salaries and/or benefit packages go up.
The "post and pray" approach might not work. On the
other hand, more candidates, more choice, more
negotiation flexibility.
From the candidate's perspective: bigger demand
= "less effort" put into job search (less time, more space
to negotiate salary).
Why do we do that? Who can find our data useful?
