Building the Future of Job Searching: Explore Our Growing Research Archive

How We Advocate Academically For Paradigm Shift

blog cover image

At The Job Applicant Perspective, we’re not just building a product — we’re challenging the very architecture of modern hiring.

For too long, job seekers have been treated as data points, not participants. We believe it’s time to reimagine what the labor market could be if we built it on trust, not opacity — on mutual feedback, not exploitation.

That’s why we’ve launched a growing archive of original research exploring the systemic failures in online hiring, the inefficiencies of one-sided marketplaces, and the frameworks that could anchor a better future.

If you're a researcher, policymaker, technologist, or simply someone who’s felt the system break under you — this is for you.

📎 What We’re Writing About

Our current library covers themes like:

  • Algorithmic Hiring and the Efficiency Paradox

  • The Two-Sided Jevons Paradox

  • Why Marketplaces Fail Without Feedback Loops

  • The Conditional Belonging Principle in labor markets

  • Systems Theory of Human Organization

  • Why Job Boards Are Broken by Design

We’re not just critiquing. We’re blueprinting. And we’re just getting started.


🧭 Why This Matters

We believe a more transparent, feedback-powered, and human-centered labor market is not only possible — it's necessary. And we’re laying the groundwork for it, in public, for all to see, challenge, and build upon.

This is your invitation to read, share, cite, or reach out. Because the more eyes on this system, the faster we can rebuild it right.

We're not just watching the market collapse — we're designing the next better paradigm shift that helps it never happen again
