When Private Sector Siloing Is Bad For The Economy, And Workers…
.
Developing a silo sector business model is a great way to differentiate and build a niche clientele. I started a business in 2000 called NicheAgency; I owned the website address as well, then years later I developed an even more niche specific business. My competition was similar businesses, neither business model was holding any worker back. The job-applicants-seeking-work industry is another story; while not the only obstruction, they are unwittingly thwarting the employment of many millions of Americans.

Though those siloed employment shops, or wider, but still siloed giants like LinkedIn, are not to blame. No person or company is. Neither is this dilemma something I could blame solely on laissez faire capitalism. That said, the situation should change; actually it must change for the nation to advance. The United States will not keep up economically with massive populations like China, and longer term India, without being more nimble, and strategic in our jobs development.

Our catch-as-catch-can hiring firms, and matching-employers-with-job-applicants technology, miss about as many as they help. Yet if that patchwork was the only problem, there may have been a decent workaround solution. That is not the case.
