Ah ok, I misjudged your comment.
But on your point I certainly agree. HR’s expectations need to reflect the minimum requirements they are selecting against. Although I foresee that HR expectations will continue to be elevated until they actually acknowledge the pool of ‘suitably qualified’ candidates is shrinking.
Then comes the next obstacle of bridging the gap in experience vs expectations. Not insurmountable but it first needs to be acknowledged that tomorrow’s FO is unlikely to have a comparable experience level as the one recruited last year, and the onus is on the company to bridge that.
