After working in a really big company for a while and seeing how incredibly degrading the hiring process is nowadays i simply woulnd’t want to apply for a job for those companies.
I just signed the contract for a much smaller company and the process was:
Apply online… via mail and just attaching some PDFs :D
"We are interested in you, we would love to do an interview. Can you come over or do you want to do this Online?"
Meeting them in person, having a nice interview and chat afterwards.
Agreeing to do this and sign the contract.
Thats it. No Booking time slots to getting interviewed bullshit. This is just ridicilous.
Even with big companies I’ve never seen one where the applicant had to find a schedule for the interview, instead of the recruiter reaching out out and checking availability. This is odd even for bigger corporations, or maybe times have changed (I haven’t applied for a new job for a while now).
They’re probably doing it on purpose to be able to claim “they can’t find qualified personnel.” That would allow them to file for H1B and hire a person from India at a significant savings.
I’m not sure who to report that to, but USCIS oversees the H1B program.
Got a hold of HR and it’s not a mistake it’s "due to high volume of applications we have so many slots available. We recommend you check it several times a day until a slot available. It’s a fucking scam and not playing.
What that tells me is they have such high employee turnover that their application process is just a disguised pool of warm bodies to pull from as needed. I’d avoid diving in if at all possible.
Downloading any retail or food company’s app is a bad idea. It will violate your privacy, and give you little to no benefits.
I really hate when companies demand that you sign in to their website to communicate with them, when they could have just used email. Especially if they refer to their proprietary website as “email” when it clearly isn’t, and especially when it’s an app instead of a website.
Yeah, I feel like the only person in my life who doesn’t have Chipotle, ChickFilA, McDonalds, Starbucks and a bunch of other apps on my phone. Worse yet, I walk in and order at the counter like I’m living in the distant past. :-)
I have a bachelor of the arts in computer science. Landing that first job was so hard because companies filtered out my resume because they were looking for a bachelor of the sciences. Fuck me I guess for my college mandating I take at least one class a year about how the world works instead of just computer stuff
Yeah, this is crazy, if you already went through other stages, they should find the time for you.
I’m wondering, perhaps we need a site tracking all those companies that post job openings without actually looking for employees. So we don’t have to waste our time on them, wanna they might also get some consequences from this practice when they actually need new talent.
FYI, you probably want to make sure to use a solid pen instead of a highlighter next time you censor information. It's probably not super impactful in this case because it's from a SMS service, but the phone number at the top of the image is plainly legible.
“Nobody wants to parkour their way through our application obstacle course for (a chance at) a probationary position with shit pay and no benefits that we can yank away at any time because we don’t like the color of tie they wore during our mandatory unpaid off-hours team building event.”
This probably one of those fake job postings I heard about.
I would be willing to bet that it is a Ghost Job. I sympathize with that struggle. I’m sure I have applied to a couple of those recently, too.
I found that many ghost jobs stay up for a while, so what I started doing to find leads was utilize search engine operators to find recent postings. Something like: (site:greenhouse.io | site:workday.com) after:2024-07-24 “system admin” That should find “system admin” jobs posted on workday and greenhouse, commonly used as internal job boards, posted in the last couple of days.
You could even add more job boards to the list by using site: between the parenthesis and separated with bars to expand your search. Or you could change the after statement to today to find very fresh jobs to try to find posts less than 24 hours old and be among the first applicants.
That trick (or maybe just my persistence with an overwhelming portion of luck, idk) managed to eventually get me something new, so I’m hopeful it wasn’t a fluke and it can help someone else, too.
Lockheed Martin pulled this shit on me 20 years ago. Applied for a job, did a quick phone screen and they invited me to their campus 5 hours away for an in person interview. When I got there they had a whole gymnasium setup with booths and about 50 people doing interviews and 200 bewildered engineers showing up hoping for a job. They never once mentioned it was going to be factory interviews. Fuck that and similar companies.
