Is flawed job applicant software exacerbating the labor shortage?

The labor shortage in Connecticut and around the country is real.

According to a recent Connecticut Business & Industry Association survey of 625 local executives, 80% said they are having difficulty finding and retaining employees; 35% say the labor shortage is the greatest obstacle to growth.

The reasons for the shortage vary, but one issue that could be adding to the headaches is software used by many employers — big and small — to review job applications.
