Just to be pedantic, I would call it a "buyer's market" where the commodity is labor.
I think that the reason it is so asymmetric is because the normal company runs on multiple employees, which means that if they can't find one more person right now business still continues.
But the normal person only has time for one job, which means if they can't find one, they go hungry (so to speak).
The desire for employment is asymmetric and therefore the power accrues to the party with less desire.
