Reddit Execs hate this one trick.

X executives losing their minds (you aren’t signed in)

I refuse to call it “X”, just call it Twitter.

I like it, but it’s a dick move to require that the resume be hosted at a remote URL. Lots of developers don’t have their CV on a website, and one of the strongest devs I’ve met doesn’t even have a LinkedIn profile.

Support a file upload or just Base64-encoded data and you’ve got something here though.

I’ll never, ever, put anything on LinkedIn. It’s cancer

It has a built-in filter for the poor folks that use these proprietary services like Twitter X, Microsoft GitHub, and Discord Username.

I wouldn’t apply anywhere asking exclusively for these platforms instead of something generic like: instant messaging, public code forge(s), weblog/microblog(s). I would encourage you, reader, to ask around & make sure your org isn’t hiring based on proprietary service usage. Heaven forbid your applicant is from a place under US sanctions & literally couldn’t use the services even if they wanted …or like your candidate has any values about privacy.

    It’s implicit endorsement. It signals that you’re an incomplete candidate without participating in the corporate data collection game.

    Honestly as far as hiring for this stuff goes, this is more in the “cute” category for me rather than the “annoying” category.

    I can’t get past “Verbwire”. Like they picked the second half of the name, but then creativity ran out.

    “I know you want a name ending in wire, but all other Verb-wire names are taken!”

    Exec: “Verbwire, perfect! Send the memo out”

    Wow, I would pass on this job so fast.

    Not because it’s hard to fire up curl or something, but because any company that thinks this is a better solution than a human reviewing a resume needs to be smacked. Because you know what the very next step is? They’re going to ask for a resume, and then make you sit through that bullshit where you type your resume into a hundred different boxes into their candidate management system / workday / talento / etc., and promise to “get back to you soon.”

    You know how you can check if a candidate can interact with an API? Send them a coding test. Ask questions. Do some whiteboarding with them. This sort of shit is just some HR lackey ninja thinking they’re clever and edgy.

    That’s a lot of assumptions. What I see here is “Do fizzbuzz before we look at your resumee, will you”.

    I mean an API call isn't hard, it cuts down in the amount of resumes probably meaning your resume will be more likely to be looked at. And it let's then know you know the very basics, I've seen some shit on recruiting hell forums and I'm ok with this one. You don't even have to retype anything since the resume field is just a link.

    The cringy stuff is "rockstar developer" and ninja, etc. Those are always red flags to me

    TheDarkBanana87 ,

    I think, its a good idea. And a cool way to open for job application

    TehPers ,

    Is it just me, or does their sample request use invalid JSON? The keys should be in quotes, comments aren’t in spec (but commonly supported), and trailing commas are invalid as well (but commonly supported).

    potoo22 ,

    It’s only invalid if it generated errors.

    But yeah, I typically play it safe and follow the standards. I do wish JSON5 would catch on though.

    TehPers ,

    It’s only invalid if it generated errors.

    I understand this line of thinking, but unless they specify what “flavor” of JSON they accept, I think it’s safe to assume they only accept what’s in spec. What I find weird is that they immediately contradict the spec with their example by writing JavaScript. Should the content-type then be application/javascript? They can easily document the parameters outside the request body instead of adding comments.

    Also, yes, I know I’m being pedantic, but if I’m applying for a job, it’s a two way application. They need to give me reason to trust that they’re worth working for. Making up rules along the way when referencing a commonly known spec doesn’t give me much confidence.

    JackGreenEarth ,

    That looks like a JavaScript object. It’s not incorrect sytax for a JavaScript object.

    Needless hoop to jump though - red flag 1 Having not switched to GraphQL - red flag 2 /s

    CannotSleep420 ,

    As much as I love GraphQL, it isn’t better than REST in every single case.

    You’re fired! Wait, who are you, even?

    Resume field would get an api endpoint that only returns a json resume, and only if the request header is application/json. And the json resume would have embedded json.
