It’s their fault for cramming the process with tons of patronizing hoops to jump through in the first place.

“Oh no, people are using tools to get through the tedious and humiliating bullshit I put them through because I’m a power-tripping sociopath who loves making arbitrary decisions that affect their livelihoods”?

Gtfo of here.

  Upload your resume. Uploads. Now type out all the content of your resume but in individual boxes. Ragequits the application.

Recruiters often do a shit job at writing the job posting: no salary, false information, lots of SEO bullshit, business language, lots of bullshitting by throwing around marketing terms like “competitive” and “best in the field”. Nobody believes that garbage. Be honest for once. List the information, don’t lie or hide facts that will drive candidates away when they hear/read them, and for fucks sake, like the goddamn salary.

As for HR, fuck those idiotic personality tests. Stop wasting everybody’s time. Make it 2 - max 3 - step interview process, and be done with it. It’s a 50/50 chance you get a good candidate anyway.

  None of them are up-front about in-office requirements either. Weirdly it is in different states. IDK where they are getting their info but I don’t live where they are sending me jobs for.
  
  If your execs want to power-trip in person so bad, simply buy me a house and I’ll go, fellas. Break room coffee better be decent, too.

“No, you will sit there and painstakingly fill in every field and write a cover letter no human will ever read. AI is here to make it easier for companies like us, not peons like you, so don’t even think about using it to write your applications just because we use it to read them.”
